Answer:

Sodium is higher than Potassium in thesame group

Explanation:

Sodium and potassium are the elements present in the first group of the periodic table. In group, atomic size increases from top to bottom this implies that even atomic radius increases. This causes less attraction force by nucleus on the electrons of outermost orbit of the atom and hence reduces the first ionisation energy, which is the energy required to remove the electron from the outermost orbit of an atom. So, as potassium is below sodium in the group, sodium has greater ionisation energy than potassium

If you had continued following the water molecule in the Water Cycle Activity, what step do you predict would have occurred next

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:option D is the correct answer, precipitation and it is because water is being released from the cloud into the earth.

Explanation:

PRECIPITATION is the process by which water condenses in the atmosphere. Precipitation can occur in form of snow,fog, dew,rain etc.

Atmospheric water is found in clouds and water vapor. Gradually and systematically the entire atmosphere rotates around the planet. When weather is being formed one of the most common results is precipitation.

In the water molecule activity here, precipitation will occur because water is being released from the atmosphere into the earth.

Develop a model to show the chemical potential energy of wood and how that energy is transformed.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical potential energy is the chemical energy stored (or property) of a substance. One chemical potential energy of wood is combustion. Combustion involves the burning of a substance in excess oxygen (in this case open air). <u>The chemical energy stored here is transformed to thermal/heat energy after combustion due to the large amount of heat evolved/produced</u>.

NOTE:

The model above also that combustion is an exothermic reaction because it involves the release of heat into it's surrounding.

If a tank of gas contains 4 L of N O2 how many molecules are in it

Jobisdone [24]

but heres a way to solve it

An athlete takes a deep breath, inhaling 1.85 L of air at 21°C and 754 mm Hg.

How many moles of air are in the breath? How many molecules?

Gas constant, R= 8.314 J mol ¹ K-1

PV = nRT

= 0.08206 L atm mol-1 K-1

= 62.36 L Torr mol-1 K-1 -

1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 Torr

How much force is needed to make a 60 kg object accelerate at a rate of 2.0 m/s2?

marusya05 [52]

Answer: 120N

Explanation:

Given variables are:

force needed = ?

mass of object = 60 kg

acceleration = 2.0 m/s²

Since the magnitude of force depends on the mass of the object and the acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = mass x acceleration

Force = 60 kg x 2.0 m/s²

Force = 120 N

Thus, 120 Newton of force is needed to make 60 kg object accelerate at a rate of 2.0 m/s²

What is the coefficient for H2O when the equation ? Ca(OH)2(aq) + ? H3PO4(aq) → ? Ca3(PO4)2(s) + ? H2O(ℓ) is balanced using the

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Coefficient of $H_{2}O$ in the balanced equation with smallest possible integer is 6.

Explanation:

Unbalanced equation: $Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)$

Balance Ca: $3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)$

Balance $PO_{4}$ : $3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)$

Balance H and O: $3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)$

Balanced equation: $3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)$

So coefficient of $H_{2}O$ in the balanced equation with smallest possible integer is 6.
