Answer:

Most positive = rubidium

Most negative = fluorine

Explanation:

Electron affinity of an element is the energy released when an electron is attached to a neural atom to form an ion in its gaseous state.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Electron affinity is similar to electronegativity which is the tendency at which an atom accepts an ion towards itself.

Electron affinity increases across the period and decreases down the group in the periodic table.

In the above option,

Fluorine has the highest electron affinity

Rubidium has the lowest electron affinity

Tellurium and then finally Phosphorus

Helium in this case would have the lowest electron affinity because it has filled orbital and does not require any electron to attain stability. Technically, Helium has the lowest or is expected to have the lowest electron affinity which is close to zero according to quantum mechanics.

Most positive = rubidium

Most negative = fluorine.

You can check periodic table for their exact values

The equilibrium constant k for the synthesis of ammonia is 6.8x105 at 298 k. what will k be for the reaction at 375 k?
spayn [35]
Answer is: K <span>be for the reaction at 375 K is 326.
</span>Chemical reaction: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g); ΔH = -92,22 kJ/mol.
T₁<span><span> = 298 K
</span>T</span>₂<span><span> = 375 K
</span><span>Δ<span>H = -92,22 kJ/mol = -92220 J/mol.
R = 8,314 J/K</span></span></span>·mol.<span>
K</span>₁ = 6,8·10⁵.<span>
K</span>₂ = ?The van’t Hoff equation: ln(K₂/K₁) = -ΔH/R(1/T₂ - 1/T₁).
ln(K₂/6,8·10⁵) = 92220 J/mol / 8,314 J/K·mol (1/375K - 1/298K).
ln(K₂/6,8·10⁵) = 11092,13 · (0,00266 - 0,00335).
ln(K₂/6,8·10⁵) = -7,64.
K₂/680000= 0,00048
K₂ = 326,4.

Sort the following chemicals for their ability to act as an oxidizer. List from strongest to weakest; 1 being strongest, 6 being
spin [16.1K]
Answer : If we list the given chemicals according to their increasing oxidising ability then the order will be like this; 1 being the strongest and 6 being the weakest 
1. K > 2. Ca >3. Ni> 4. Cu> 5. Ag> 6.Au

Explanation : Considering the reduction potential of each chemical species it will be easy to identify their oxidising capacity and differentiate accordingly;

More negative the value of reduction potential more is the ability of the chemical species to get oxidised.

Chemicals with their reduction potential is given below.

K has -2.92; Ca has -2.76; Ni has -0.23; Cu has 0.52; Ag has 1.50 and Au has 1.50.

1. Some athletes have as little as 3.0% body fat. If such a person has a body mass of 65 kg, how many pounds of body fat does th
77julia77 [94]
1. 3.0% ----> 3.0 kg fat= 100 kg body weigh
also remember that 1 kg= 2.20 lbs

65 kg  \frac{3.0 kg}{100 kg} x  \frac{2.20 lb}{1 kg} = 4.29 lbs

2. 0.94 g/mL----> 0.94 grams= 1 mL
1 Liters= 1000 mL
1kg= 1000 grams

3 Liters  \frac{1000 mL}{1 L} x   \frac{0.94 grams}{1 mL} x  \frac{1 kg}{1000 g} x   \frac{2.20 lbs}{1 kg}  = 6.20 lbs

• Draw lewis dot structures for an atom of each of following elements:
marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures represent the symbol of an atom we're looking at and the number of valence electrons it has. This number is represented by the sum of dots around the symbol.

  • Potassium is in group 1A, this means it only has one valence electron, so we draw K with one dot in its Lewis diagram;
  • Argon is in group 8A, this means it has eight valence electrons, so we draw Ar with 8 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
  • Silicon is in group 4A, this means it has four valence electrons, so we draw Si with 4 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
  • Arsenic is in group 5A, this means it has five valence electrons, so we draw As with 5 dots around it in its Lewis diagram.

Those are represented in the image attached below:
