What is ionization energy? What is fist ionization energy?

1 answer:

8 0

The ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron of an isolated neutral gaseous atom or molecule.The first ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of the most loosely held electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to produce 1 mole of gaseous ions each with a charge of 1+. I hope this helps :3

What property of liquid oxygen makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home?

irga5000 [103]

The property of liquid oxygen that makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home would be its cryogenic temperature. Liquid oxygen is being produced from the compression of oxygen gas to -196 degrees Celsius. As you can see, it has a very cold temperature that is why it used in cryogenics. Although liquid oxygen is non-toxic to humans, it would cause burns that are severe when being touched. Also, it would make certain materials brittle and unstable. Another property that makes it dangerous for use at home would be that it is very flammable. Proper handling is a must for this substance.

A solution of potassium cyanide, KCN, is made by dissolving 3.2 g of KCN in water. When this solution reacts with excess hydroch

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

22.7%

Explanation:

We must first put down the equation of reaction to guide our work while solving the problem.

KCN(aq) + HCl (aq)--> KCl(aq) + HCN(aq)

The questions specifically state that HCl is in excess so KCN is the limiting reactant.

Number of moles of KCN reacted= mass of KCN reacted / molar mass of KCN

Mass of KCN reacted= 3.2 g

Molar mass of KCN= 65.12 g/mol

Number of moles of KCN= 3.2/65.12 g/mol= 0.049 moles

Theoretical yield of HCN is obtained thus;

From the reaction equation;

1 mol of KCN produced 1 mole of HCN thus 0.049 moles of KCN will produce 0.049 moles of HCN.

Mass of HCN = number of moles ×molar mass

Molar mass of HCN= 27.0253 g/mol

Hence mass of HCN produced= 0.049mol × 27.0253 g/mol= 1.32g of HCN

Actual yield of HCN= 0.30g

% yield= actual yield/ theoretical yield ×100

% yield= 0.30/1.32 ×100

%yield= 22.7%

The thallium Subscript 81 Superscript 208 Baseline Tl nucleus is radioactive, with a half-life of 3.053 min. At a given instant,

Genrish500 [490]

Answer: (E) 300 bq

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half life is represented by $t_{\frac{1}{2}$

Half life of Thallium-208 = 3.053 min

Thus after 9 minutes , three half lives will be passed, after ist half life, the activity would be reduced to half of original i.e. $\frac{2400}{2}=1200$ , after second half life, the activity would be reduced to half of 1200 i.e. $\frac{1200}{2}=600$ , and after third half life, the activity would be reduced to half of 600 i.e. $\frac{600}{2}=300$ ,
