Compare a sodium ion and neutral sodium atom in size. what causes the size difference

Chemistry

A cation is smaller than its parent atom.
Therefore, here a sodium ion is smaller than the neutral sodium atom.

Reason: Since the sodium atom loses an electron to form an electropositive ion(cation), its nuclear charge increases(the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons) and the orbital electrons are pulled with a greater energy.
Thus,the sodium ion shrinks in size.

Aloiza [94]

Hey there!:

Copper plating on Zinc will occur via this simple reaction:

Cu²⁺   +   2 e⁻   ⇌   Cu

When a species gains electron, it is reduced. Its oxidation state is decreased. For example, in the above reaction Cu2+ gained 2 electron to get reduced to Cu. Its oxidation state changed from +2 to 0. Hence it is a reduction reaction.

So, the correct answer is  :

The copper II ions  gain two electrons and are reduced.

Answer B

Hope this helps!

How many kilojoules of energy would be required to heat a 225g block of aluminum from 23.0 C to 73.5 C?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 10.2 \ kJ}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many kilojoules of energy would be required to heat a block of aluminum.

We will use the following formula to calculate heat energy.

q=mc \Delta T

The mass (m) of the aluminum block is 225 grams and the specific heat (c) is 0.897 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The change in temperature (ΔT) is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.

  • ΔT = final temperature - inital temperature

The aluminum block was heated from 23.0 °C to 73.5 °C.

  • ΔT= 73.5 °C - 23.0 °C = 50.5 °C

Now we know all three variables and can substitute them into the formula.

  • m= 225 g
  • c= 0.897 J/g° C
  • ΔT= 50.5 °C

q= (225 \ g )(0.897 \ J/g \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

Multiply the first two numbers. The units of grams cancel.

q= (225 \ g  * 0.897 \ J/g \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

q= (225   * 0.897 \ J / \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

q= (201.825\ J / \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

Multiply again. This time, the units of degrees Celsius cancel.

q= 201.825 \ J * 50.5

q= 10192.1625 \ J

The answer asks for the energy in kilojoules, so we must convert our answer. Remember that 1 kilojoule contains 1000 joules.

\frac { 1  \ kJ}{ 1000 \ J}

Multiply by the answer we found in Joules.

10192.1625 \ J * \frac{ 1 \ kJ}{ 1000 \ J}

10192.1625  * \frac{ 1 \ kJ}{ 1000 }

\frac {10192. 1625}{1000} \ kJ

10.1921625 \ kJ

The original values of mass, temperature, and specific heat all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the tneths place. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.

10.2 \ kJ

Approximately <u>10.2 kilojoules</u> of energy would be required.

Attempt 4 A galvanic cell has an X electrode with X 2 plus ions in the left beaker and a Y electrode with Y 2 plus ions in the r
babymother [125]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Since X is more reactive than Y

=> X is oxidized to X2+ and Y2+ is reduced to Y

Overall cell reaction is:

X(s) + Y2+(aq) => X2+(aq) + Y(s)

Suppose 0.035 moles of HCl is dissolved in enough water to produce 750 mL of solution. What is the pH
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

pH = 1.33

Explanation:

Because HCl is a strong acid, each mole of HCl will completely dissociate into H⁺ and Cl⁻ species.

Now we calculate the molar concentration (molarity) of H⁺:

  • Molarity = moles / volume

(750 mL ⇒ 750 / 1000 = 0.750 L)

  • Molarity = 0.035 moles / 0.750 L
  • Molarity = 0.0467 M

Then we calculate the pH of the solution:

  • pH = -log [H⁺]
  • pH = -log (0.0467 M)
  • pH = 1.33
