Answer is: D. Cl (chlorine).

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Barium, potassium and arsenic are metals (easily lost valence electrons), chlorine is nonmetal (easily gain electrons).

Alkaline metals (in this example, potassium) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), earth alkaline metals (in this example, barium) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.

Nonmetals (in this example chlorine) are far right in the main group and they have highest ionization energy, because they have many valence electrons.

Answer:

0.095M

Explanation:

HClO4 + NaOH = NaClO4 + H2O

Concentration of acid CA= 0.170M

Concentration of base CB= ???

Volume of base VB= 28.5ml

Volume of acid VA= 16.0ml

Number of moles of acid nA= 1

Number of moles of base nB= 1

From

CAVA/CBVB= nA/nB

CB= CAVAnB/VBnA

CB= 0.170×16.0×1/28.5×1

CB= 0.095M

aleksley [76]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of heat produced by the reaction is -21.36 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(reactant)}]$
