Rubidium because it is lower on the periodic table and therefore has more electrons to shield the valence electrons from the positive core
Korolek [52]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Shielding effect is the effect in which nucleus of an atom is surrounded by number of electrons in such a manner that there will be decrease in attraction between nucleus and valence electrons.

So, more is the number of shells present in an atom more will be its shielding effect. Whereas smaller is the size of atom more will be attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons. So, it would be difficult to remove an electron from the valence shell.

For example, rubidium is larger in size so it has more number of shells and thus more shielding effect.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options rubidium would exhibit the greatest shielding effect.

"Calculate the number of millimoles in 500 mg of each of the following amino acids: alanine (MW = 89), leucine (131), tryptophan
Cloud [144]

Answer:

- Alanine =  5.61 mmoles

- Leucine = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 3.40 mmoles

Explanation:

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

Milimoles = Mol . 1000

500 mg / 1000 = 0.5 g

- Alanine = 0.5 g / 89 g/m → 5.61x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 5.61mmoles

- Leucine = 0.5 g / 131 g/m → 3.81 x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 0.5 g / 204 g/m →  2.45x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 0.5 g / 121 g/m → 4.13x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 0.5 g 147 g/m → 3.40x10⁻³ moles . 1000 =  3.4 mmoles

Given the following values of pKa, determine which is the weakest base of the answers listed. Acid pKa HClO2 1.95 HClO 7.54 HCOO
professor190 [17]

Answer:

HClO 7.54

Explanation:

Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is a weakest acid because the pKa value of Hypochlorous acid is very high among the options given in the activity. pKa is a method which is used in order to identify the strength of an acid. The higher the value of pKa of a liquid, lower the strength of an acid while lower the value of pKa of chemical, higher the strength of an acid. In the options, HClO2  is a strong acid due to high lower pKa value.
