Which element in each pair has a greater first ionization energy?

1 answer:

7 0

A) Boron
Ionization energy tends to increase as we go from left to right in a period.

B) Mg
Ionization energy tends to decrease as we go down a group

C) Al
Ionization energy tends to increase as we go towards the top right of the periodic table.

Generally, which of the three families of elements (metals, nonmetals, or inert gases) has the least tendency to form ionic bond

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Inert gases

Explanation:

Inert elements have a stable electron configuration meaning their shells/orbitals are full with their requisite number of electrons. Therefore, gaining or losing an electron would take high ionization energy. Therefore they are less likely to be involved in chemical reaction unless a high amount of energy is used. An example of an inert gas is Helium.

If a solution contains 3 moles/liter of sodium chloride (nacl, made of sodium ions and chloride ions), what is the osmolarity of

valkas [14]

Answer: Osmolarity of the sodium chloride solution is 18 Osmol/L.

Explanation:

Osmolarity is defined as the the concentration of the solution which is expressed as the total number of solution particles present in one liter of solvent.

We are given the molarity of the solution which is 3mol/L and to convert it into osmolarity, we will multiply the number of osmoles that are produced by the solute.

Osmole is defined as the particles that contribute to the osmotic pressure of a solution.

The solute given here is sodium chloride (NaCl). Number of osmoles can be determined by the dissociation of this solvent into ions.

The equation given by the dissociation of NaCl:

$NaCl\rightarrow Na^++Cl^-$

1 mole of sodium chloride produces 2 moles of ions.

So, 3 moles of sodium chloride will produce = (3 × 2) = 6 moles of ions.

Hence, osmolarity of the sodium chloride solution will be $6\times 3mol/L=18Osmol/L$

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

to separate the compounds by gravity

Explanation:

Centrifuging is the process of separating compound in a liquid mixture by means of gravity and settling. This makes use of the density principle. In the process, the sample is added to the centrifuge. This is then rotated at a certain speed, say 50 rpm. The circular motion creates a force of gravity that pulls the compounds downwards. This then separate the compounds. The heaviest and most dense go down first, then the lighter particles on the top.

13. What is the total pressure inside the container

nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The total pressure inside the container is 77.9 kPa

Explanation:

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of the system is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each component present in it.

To calculate the total pressure inside the container, we use the law given by Dalton, which is:

$P_T=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}+p_{Ar}$
