Chemistry
1 answer:
lilavasa [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

This is because it loose it's outer valence electron thus it's one of valence disappear and due to increase of effective charge of nucleus it tightly push it's shell together result to small atomic radius corresponding to that of chlorine as it doesn't lose hence it's effective charge of nucleus towards it's shells is relatively weak compare to that of K+

How many moles of ca(oh)2 are in 25ml of 1.5 M solution?
Klio2033 [76]
Molar concentration is

C=\frac{\eta}{V}

[V]=Liters

[\eta]=mol

\eta=C*V

V=25~mL=0.025~L

\eta=1.5*0.025

\boxed{\boxed{\eta=0.0375~moles}}

Which best explains why water has a much higher boiling point than would otherwise be predicted?
ikadub [295]
My guess is that water is a liquid and not a solid, or a gas. It can be heated by us or by the suns rays, which if done by the suns rays the water azorbs the light rising the temp to the point of boil which then makes the water evaporate into the air, and thus making cloud in the sky that we see all the time thus when the clouds become big enough it begins to rain. ( also called the water cycle)
