Explanation:

When energy is released by the molecules of a substance in a reaction then it is known as an exothermic reaction. And, a reaction in which heat energy is absorbed by the molecules of a substance is known as an endothermic reaction.

When we move from top to bottom in a group of periodic table then there will occur an increase in atomic radius of the elements. This also means that the number of protons and electrons also increases on moving from top to bottom.

Also, for an exothermic reaction,

        E^{+}(g) + e^{-} \rightarrow E(g) + Energy

where,  E = any atom

Since, Al, Na and Rb are all metals so, they will readily lose electrons in order to attain stability. On the other hand, Cl and I are non-metals so, they will readily gain electrons in order to become stable anions in nature.

As the size of chlorine is smaller than iodine. So, chlorine will not easily lose an electron hence, it will have high electron affinity.

Also, when an electron is added to a gaseous isolated atom then then energy released is known as electron gain enthalpy.

Thus, we can conclude that electron gain enthalpy name is given to the energy for the reaction.

If 4.168 kJ of heat is added to a calorimeter containing 75.40 g of water, the temperature of the water and the calorimeter incr
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter  C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

Explanation:

Given data

Heat added Q = 4.168 KJ = 4168 J

Mass of water m_w = 75.40 gm

Temperature change = ΔT = 35.82 - 24.58 = 11.24 ° c

From the given condition

Q = m_w C_w ΔT + C_c ΔT

Put all the values in above equation we get

4168 = 75.70 × 4.18 × 11.24 +  C_c × 11.24

611.37 =  C_c × 11.24

C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

This is the value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter.

Astronomers often scan the sky using devices called radio
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A radio telescope is simply a telescope that is designed to receive radio waves from space.

radio telescopes helps to study naturally occurring radio light from stars, galaxies, black holes, and other astronomical objects. We can also use them to transmit and reflect radio light off of planetary bodies in our solar system.

What is the moons role in causing tides ?
siniylev [52]

The gravitational pull generates this cool thing called tidal force, which kinda pushes the water to the side closest to the moon. When the tide is high, that means the moons closer to that point than somewhere else.

Two sides will always have high tide and two sides will always have low tide.

a gas that exerts a pressure of 215 torr in a container with a volume of 51.0 mL will exert a pressure of ? torr when transferre
zhannawk [14.2K]
To calculate the new pressure, we can use Boyle’s law to relate these two scenarios (Boyle’s law is used because the temperature is assumed to remain constant). Boyle’s law is:

P1V1 = P2V2,

Where “P” is pressure and “V” is volume. The pressure and volume of the first scenario is 215 torr and 51 mL, respectively, and the second scenario has a volume of 18.5 L (18,500 mL) and the unknown pressure - let’s call that “x”. Plugging these into the equation:

(215 torr)(51 mL) =(“x” torr)(18,500 mL)
x = 0.593 torr

The final pressure exerted by the gas would be 0.593 torr.

Hope this helps!
