Sodium aton has lower electron affinity than chlorine atom why

Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is accepted by a neutral atom forming a negative ion. Chlorine has the higher electron affinity because it readily accepts an electron to become more stable. On the other hand, sodium have to give up an electron to complete its valence shell.

Which relationship can be used to aid in the determination of the heat absorbed by bomb calorimeter?

NARA [144]

Answer:

ΔH = $q_{p}$

Explanation:

In a calorimeter, when there is a complete combustion within the calorimeter, the heat given off in the combustion is used to raise the thermal energy of the water and the calorimeter.

The heat transfer is represented by

$q_{com}$ = $q_{p}$

where

$q_{p}$ = the internal heat gained by the whole calorimeter mass system, which is the water, as well as the calorimeter itself.

$q_{com}$ = the heat of combustion

Also, we know that the total heat change of the any system is

ΔH = ΔQ + ΔW

where

ΔH = the total heat absorbed by the system

ΔQ = the internal heat absorbed by the system which in this case is $q_{p}$

ΔW = work done on the system due to a change in volume. Since the volume of the calorimeter system does not change, then ΔW = 0

substituting into the heat change equation

ΔH = $q_{p}$ + 0

==> ΔH = $q_{p}$

Please Help!

Whitepunk [10]

We can use two equations for this problem.

t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
Where t1/2 is the half-life of the element and λ is decay constant.

20 days = 0.693 / λ
λ = 0.693 / 20 days (1)

Nt = Nο eΛ(-λt) (2)

Where Nt is atoms at t time, No is the initial amount of substance, λ is decay constant and t is the time taken.
t = 40 days

No = 200 g

From (1) and (2),
Nt = 200 g eΛ(-(0.693 / 20 days) 40 days)
Nt = 50.01 g

Hence, 50.01 grams of isotope will remain after 40 days.

How many moles are present in 4.7 liters of argon gas as STP

algol [13]

Answer:

0.21mol Ar (g)

Explanation:

To convert from litres to moles at STP we must divide the amount of litres by 22.4.

4.7 / 22.4 = 0.21mol Ar (g)

Which balanced equation represents a redox reaction? a. AgNO3(aq) +NaCl(aq) →AgCl(s) +NaNO3(aq) b. H2CO3(aq) →H2O() + CO2(g) c.

Aleks [24]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) $Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+H_2(g)$

Explanation :

(A) $AgNO_3(aq)+NaCl(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq)$

This reaction is a double displacement reaction in which the cation and anion of two reactants are exchange their places to give two different products.

(B) $H_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

This reaction is a decomposition reaction in which the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more products.

(C) $NaOH(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(s)+H_2O(aq)$

This reaction is a neutralization reaction in which an acid and a base react to give a salt and water as a product.

(D) $Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+H_2(g)$

This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.

Reduction reaction is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.

In this reaction, magnesium shows oxidation due to change in oxidation number from (0) to (+2) and hydrogen shows reduction due to change in oxidation number from (-1) to (0).

Hence, the correct option is, (D)
