Order of increasing Ionization Energy is Kr>As>Sb >Sn.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the periodic table, the ionization energy increases when we move across the period also decreases when we move down the group. Tin (Sn) is in the carbon group, Arsenic and antimony is present in nitrogen group(Sb,As), and Krypton is present in Helium group(Kr). As we know, Helium or zero group elements have maximum ionization energy, since it has fulfilled orbitals, So Kr has the maximum ionization energy, where as As and Sb is present in lower periods than that of Krypton and then comes tin.
So ionization energy is in the increasing order of Kr>As>Sb >Sn.
Hence the order follows as,Kryton>Arsenic>Antimony>Tin

Which of the following substances (with specific heat capacity provided) would show the greatest temperature change upon absorbi

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Pb is the substance that experiments the greatest temperature change.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity refers to the amount of heat energy required to raise in 1 degree the temperature of 1 gram of substance. The highest the heat capacity, the more energy it would be required. These variables are related through the equation:

Q = c . m . ΔT

where,

Q is the amount of heat energy provided (J)

c is the specific heat capacity (J/g.°C)

m is the mass of the substance

ΔT is the change in temperature

Since the question is about the change in temperature, we can rearrange the equation like this:

$\Delta T = \frac{Q}{c.m}$

All the substances in the options have the same mass (m=10.0g) and absorb the same amount of heat (Q=100.0J), so the change in temperature depends only on the specific heat capacity. We can see in the last equation that they are inversely proportional; the lower c, the greater ΔT. Since we are looking for the greatest temperature change, It must be the one with the lowest c, namely, Pb with c = 0.128 J/g°C. This makes sense because Pb is a metal and therefore a good conductor of heat.

Its change in temperature is:

$\Delta T = \frac{q}{c.m} = \frac{100.0 J}{0.128 J/g.C . 10.0g } = 78.1$

Which scientist arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number, rather than increasing atomic mass?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Henry Moseley

Explanation:

Dmitry Mendeleef and Lothar Meyer proposed a periodic table based on the atomic mass.

They stated a periodic law expressed as "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".

But, Henry Moseley in 1900s re-stated periodic law by changing the basis of the law from atomic weight to atomic number.

The present periodic law is stated as "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".

Write an equation that represents the action in water of rubidium hydroxide as an Arrhenius base.

Anika [276]

Answer:

RbOH → Rb⁺ + OH⁻

As the hydroxide can gives the OH⁻ in water, it is considered as an Arrhenius's base

Explanation:

Arrhenius theory states that a compound is considered a base, if the compound can generate OH⁻ ions in aqueous solution.

Our compound is the RbOH.

When it is put in water, i can dissociate like this:

RbOH → Rb⁺ + OH⁻

As the hydroxide can gives the OH⁻ in water, it is considered as an Arrhenius's base

Why does increasing the temperature of two reactants in solution make a

gogolik [260]

The two molecules will only react if they have enough energy. By heating the mixture, you are raising the energy levels of the molecules involved in the reaction. Increasing temperature also means the molecules are moving around faster and will therefore "bump" into each other more often.
