Answer:

Detail is given below.

Explanation:

Atomic radius  trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons increases. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

we can see in picture A there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N

In picture D there are 2 positive charge and force of attraction is 4.60×10⁻⁸ N

So by increasing the positive charge force of attraction also increases.

In F we can see there is more positive charge thus force of attraction is also greater.

The Ksp for BaCO3 is 5.1x10^-9. how many grams of BaCO3 will dissolve in 1000ml of water
Amanda [17]

Answer:

= 0.014 g of BaCO3

Explanation:

Let x = mol/L of BaCO3 that dissolve.  

This will give;

x mol/L Ba2+ and x mol/L CO32-  

But;

Ksp = 5.1x10^-9.

Therefore;

Ksp = 5.1 x 10^-9 = (x)(x)  

Thus;

x = molar solubility

  = √ (5.1 x 10^-9)

  = 7.1 x 10^-5 M  

Therefore;

Mass BaCO3 = 7.1 x 10^-5 M x 1 L x 197.34 g/mol

                      = 0.014 g

How many groups and periods are present in the periodic table?​
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are seven periods in the periodic table, with each one beginning at the far left. A new period begins when a new principal energy level begins filling with electrons. Period 1 has only two elements (hydrogen and helium), while periods 2 and 3 have 8 elements. Periods 4 and 5 have 18 elements.

A piece of fossilized wood has a carbon-14 radioactivity that is 1/4 that of new wood. the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

1.146 x 10⁴ year.

Explanation:

  • The decay of carbon-14 is a first order reaction.
  • The rate constant of the reaction (k) in a first order reaction = ln (2)/half-life = 0.693/(5730 year) = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.
  • The integration law of a first order reaction is:

<em>kt = ln [A₀]/[A]</em>

<em></em>

k is the rate constant = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

t is the time = ??? years.

[A₀] is the initial percentage of carbon-14 = 100.0 %.

[A] is the remaining percentage of carbon-14 = 1/4[A₀] = 25.0 %.

∵ kt = ln [Ao]/[A]

∴ (1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹)(t) = ln (100.0%)/[25.0 %]

(1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹)(t) = 1.386.

∴ <em>t </em>= 1.386/ (1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹) =  <em>1.146 x 10⁴ year.</em>
