Answer: 1+
Justification:
The ionization energies tell the amount of energy needed to release an electron and form a ion. The first ionization energy if to loose one electron and form the ion with oxidation state 1+, the second ionization energy is the energy to loose a second electron and form the ion with oxidation state 2+, the third ionization energy is the energy to loose a third electron and form the ion with oxidation state 3+.
The low first ionization energy of element 2 shows it will lose an electron relatively easily to form the ion with oxidations state 1+.
The relatively high second ionization energy (and third too) shows that it is very difficult for this atom to loose a second electron, so it will not form an ions with oxidation state 2+. Furthermore, given the relatively high second and third ionization energies, you should think that the oxidation states 2+ and 3+ for element 2 never occurs.
Therefore, the expected oxidation state for the most common ion of element 2 is 1+.
Answer:
2.772 seconds
Explanation:
Given that;
t1/2 = 0.693/k
Where;
t1/2 = half life of the reaction
k= rate constant
Note that decomposition is a first order reaction since the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of one reactant
t1/2 = 0.693/2.5 x 10-1 s-1
t1/2= 2.772 seconds
Answer:
The correct answer is - A. Ethanol reduces air pollution.
Explanation:
Ethanol is believed to be better fuel for the environment than other petroleum fuels. Ethanol emits lower carbon dioxide as it is clean smokeless fuel, and produces less or the same oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.
It is produced by the process of fermentation of molasses by yeast. Mixing it with the other fuels is found to be CO2 reduces by 30% of emissions to the atmosphere.
Answer:
The statements are definitions to chromatography terms which have been highlighted below.
Explanation:
Match the chromatography term with its definition.
Volumetric Flow Rate = The volume of solvent traveling through the column per unit time.
Retention time = The elapsed time between sample injection and detection.
Adjusted Retention Time = The time required by a retained solute to travel through the column beyond the time required by the un -retained solvent.
Linear Flow Rate = The distance traveled by the solvent per unit time.
Retention factor = Describes the amount of time that a sample spends in the stationary phase relative to the mobile phase. It is sometimes also called the capacity factor or capacity ratio.
Relative Volume = Volume of the mobile phase required to elute a solute from the column.
Relative Retention = Ratio of the adjusted retention times or retention factors of two solutes. It is sometimes also called the separation factor.
Partition coefficient = The ratio of the solute concentrations in the mobile and stationary phases.
Answer: 23.6 grams HCl
Explanation:
The density 1.18g/mL just means that there is 1.18 grams of HCl per 1 mL of it.
So if you have 20 mL of it, it would just be 1.18 * 20 grams. This equals 23.6 grams of HCl.
It's just like if at your supermarket they sold apples for $1.00/lb. If you wanted 5 lbs, it would cost $5.00 ($1.00 * 5).
