why is there a dip in ionization energies between the elements Be and B, between Mg and Al, and between Ca and Ga?
expeople1 [14]
Be and B: Be is 1s2 2s2 and B is 1s2 2s2 2p1
Be has full 2 orbitals and so does B but B only has 1 electron in p so it is really unstable and easy to react. So there is a dip in ionization energies. The other questions are similar to this so if you need, feel free to ask me

. How much energy is lost by a 30.0g sample of water that decreases in temperature from 56.7C to 25.0C?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Q = -3980.9 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 30 g

Initial temperature = 56.7 °C

Final temperature = 25 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.186 j/g.°C

Amount of heat released = ?

Formula:

Q = m.c.ΔT

Q = heat released

m = mass of sample

c = specific heat of given sample

ΔT = change in temperature

Solution:

ΔT = T2 -T1

ΔT = 25 °C - 56.7 °C = - 31.7°C

Q = m.c.ΔT

Q = 30 g × 4.186 j/g.°C ×  - 31.7°C

Q = -3980.9 j

How many atoms are present in 4.0 mol of sodium
gladu [14]
Avogadro's constant is the number of atoms of carbon-12 in 12g of
carbon-12.
atoms present equals avogadro's constant times number of moles for that substance. Type of substance does not change the number of atoms if you are given the quantity of moles, therefore the fact that it is sodium does not change the value.
<span>atoms present equals avogadro's constant times number of moles
</span>=6.023x10^23 x 4.0
=2.4x10^24
