What’s the relationship between atomic radius and ease of oxidation on the activity series.

1 answer:

3 0

The bigger the atomic radius the easier it is to oxidise the atom. Remember that an atom is oxidized by the loss of an electron.

Explanation:

The bigger the atomic radius the further away the valence electron are from the attractive force of the atomic nucleus. This means that the energy required to remove an electron from the valence shell is easier compared to an atom with a smaller atomic radius. This is because you need to overcome the attractive force of the nucleus on the electron for you to oxidize the atom.

A civil engineering student is considering buying an electric car. However, the conscious student wants to make sure her carbon

svetlana [45]

Answer:

$\text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\\boxed{\text{five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$

Explanation:

1. Miles travelled in an average month

$\text{Miles} = \text{1 mo} \times \dfrac{\text{52 wk}}{\text{12 mo}} \times \dfrac{\text{5 da}}{\text{1 wk}} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mi}}{\text{1 da}} = \text{347 mi}$

2. Using a gasoline powered vehicle

(a) Moles of heptane used

$n = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{36.5 mi}}\times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{679.5 g}}{\text{1L}} \times \dfrac{ \text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}}= \text{244 mol}$

(b) Equation for combustion

C₇H₁₆ + O₂ ⟶ 7CO₂ + 8H₂O

(c) Moles of CO₂ formed

$n = \text{244 mol heptane} \times \dfrac{\text{7 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol heptane}} = \text{1710 mol CO$_{2}$}$

(d) Volume of CO₂ formed

At 20 °C and 1 atm, the molar volume of a gas is 24.0 L.

$V = \text{1710 mol } \times \dfrac{\text{24.0 L}}{\text{1 mol}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.785 L}} = \textbf{10 800 gal}$

3. Using an electric vehicle

(a) Theoretical energy used

$\text{Theor. Energy} = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kWh}}{\text{5.2 mi}} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.}$

(b) Actual energy used

The power station is only 85 % efficient.

$\text{Actual energy used} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.} \times \dfrac{\text{100 kWh actual}}{\text{ 85 kWh theor.}}\times \dfrac{\text{3600 kJ}}{\text{1 kWh}}\\\\ = 2.82\times 10^{5} \text{ kJ}\$

(c) Combustion of CH₄

CH₄ + 2O₂ ⟶ CO₂ +2 H₂O

(d) Equivalent volume of CO₂

The heat of combustion of methane is -802.3 kJ·mol⁻¹

$V= 2.82\times 10^{5}\text{ kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol methane}}{\text{802.3 kJ}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$} }{\text{1 mol methane}} \times \dfrac{ \text{24.0 L}}{ \text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}}\\\\ \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.875 L}} = \textbf{2180 gal}$

4. Comparison

$\dfrac{V_{\text{gasoline}}}{V_{\text{electric}}} = \dfrac{10800}{2180} = 5.0\\\\ \text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\ \boxed{\textbf{ five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$

What is the pH of a 5.09 x 10-5 M solution of NaOH?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 9.71

<u>Explanation:</u>

1 mole of NaOH produces 1 mole of sodium ions and 1 mole of hydroxide ions.

We are given:

pOH of the solution = 7.2

To calculate the pH of the solution, we need to determine pOH of the solution. To calculate pOh of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

We are given:

$[OH^-]=5.09\times 10^{-5}M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pOH=-\log(5.09\times 10^{-5})\\\\pOH=4.29$

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH+pOH=14\\pH=14-4.29=9.71$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 9.71

What kind of properties can only be observed when a substance changes into a different substance?

Shkiper50 [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>Chemical properties</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

By its very definition, a chemical property is one which is exhibited as a result of a chemical reaction. This may happen during or after the reaction. This is because in a chemical reaction there is a transformation in the physical composition of the components and this directly affects its chemical properties.
