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

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.

Standard reduction half-cell potentials at 25∘c half-reaction e∘ (v) half-reaction e∘ (v) au3 (aq) 3e−→au(s) 1.50 fe2 (aq) 2e−→f

Zanzabum

K = 5.0 × 10^25

<h2>Part (a). Calculate E° for the reaction </h2>

Step 1. Write the equations for the two half-reactions

2H^(+)(aq) + 2e^(-) → H2(g); _0.00 V

Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-) → Zn(s); -0.76 V

Step 2. Identify the cathode and the anode

The half-cell with the more negative E° (Zn) is the anode.

Step 3. Calculate E°

Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-); _________+0.76 V

2H^(+)(aq) + 2e^(-) → H2(g); __________0.00 V

Zn(s) + 2H^(+)(aq) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + H2(g); +0.76 V

E° = +0.76 V

<h2>Part (b). Calculate K for the reaction </h2>

The relation between E° and K is

E° = (RT)/(nF)lnK

where

R = the universal gas constant: 8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1)

T = the Kelvin temperature

n = the moles of electrons transferred

F = the Faraday constant: 96 485 J·V^(-1)mol^(-1)

Then

0.76 V = [8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1) × 298.15 K]/[2 × 96 485 J·V^(-1)mol^(-1)]lnK

0.76 = 0.012 85 lnK

lnK = 0.76/0.012 85 = 59.16

K =e^59.16 = 5.0 × 10^25

Which of these statement(s) is/are true about a balloon filled with 1.00 mol N2 (g) at STP?

lara [203]

Answer:

I. The balloon has a volume of 22.4L

III. The balloon contains 6.022x10^23 molecules.

Explanation:

At stp, it has been proven that 1mole of a gas occupy 22.4L.

Therefore, option (i) is correct.

The molar mass N2 = 14.01 x 2 = 28.02g/mol

Number of mole of N2 = 1 mole

Mass of N2 =..?

Mass = mole x molar Mass

Mass of N2 = 1 x 28.02 = 28.02g.

The mass content of the balloon is 28.02g, therefore, option (ii) is wrong.

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. This implies that 1 mole of N2 also contains 6.02x10^23 molecules

Therefore, option (iii) is correct.

The correct options to the question are:

Option i and option iii

Draw the structures of the two monomers that react together to form this polyurethane polymer

matrenka [14]

The monomers that react together to form polyurethane polymer are diisocyanate and diol.

<h3>What are polymers?</h3>

Polymers are a class of natural or synthetic substances
It is made up of small units called monomers arranged in a repeated pattern to form large molecules called macromolecules
Cellulose and resins are examples of natural polymers
Polyethylene and polychloroprene are examples of synthetic polymers.

Polyurethane polymer is made up of monomers diisocyanate and diol. It is mostly used in home furnishing in flexible form. The structures of monomers are as follows:
