Electrons are found in energy levels around the nucleus of an atom. Energy levels can also be called ""shells."" The energy leve

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The first electronic shell or energy level, having n= 1, called the K shell, is the closest to the nucleus.

Explanation:

In an atom, the sub atomic particles called electrons, revolve around the nucleus of the given atom at different energy levels, called shells.

The energy levels or the electronic shells are denoted by the principal quantum number (n) and has the following values n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; from the innermost shell to the outermost.

The electron shells are also labelled by the alphabets, K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q, from the innermost shell to the outermost.

Thus the first electronic shell having n= 1, called K shell, is the lowest energy level and is present closest to the nucleus.

Whereas, the last electronic shell having n =7, called Q shell, is the highest energy level and is farthest from the nucleus.

Which one of the following would have the largest dispersion forces?

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

A) CH3CH2SH

Explanation:

Dispersion forces are weak attractions found between non-polar and polar molecules. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a non-polar molecule sometimes become polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant. If this happens, the molecule has a temporary dipole. This dipole can induce the neighbouring molecules to be distorted and form dipoles as well. The attractions between these dipoles constitute the Dispersion Forces.

Therefore; the greater the molar mass of a compound or molecule, the higher the Dispersion Force. This implies that the compound or molecule with the highest molar mass have the largest dispersion forces.

Now; for option (A)

CH3CH2SH

The molar mass is :

= (12 + (1 × 3 ) +12 + (1 ×2) + 32+1)

= (12 + 3+ 12 + 2 + 32 + 1)

= 62 g/mol

For option (B)

CH3NH2

The molar mass is:

= (12 + (1 × 3 ) +14 + (1 × 2)

= (12 + 3 + 14 + 2)

= 31 g/mol

For option (C)

CH4

The molar mass is :

= 12 + (1 × 4)

= 12 + 4

= 16 g/mol

For option (D)

CH3CH3

The molar mass is :

= 12 + ( 1 × 3 ) + 12 + ( 1 × 3)

= 12 + 3 + 12 + 3

= 30 g/mol

Thus ; option (A) has the highest molar mass, as such the largest dispersion force is A) CH3CH2SH

Given the following equation: 2K + Cl2 -> 2KCl How many grams of KCl is produced from 4.00 g of K and excess Cl2?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

42.65g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 4g

Unknown: Mass of KCl

Solution:

Complete equation of the reaction:

2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl

To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.

Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.

Calculating number of moles of K

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles of K = $\frac{4}{39}$ = 0.103mol

From the given reaction equation:

2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl

Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl

To find the mass of KCl produced,

Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g

Which best explains what happens to the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?A They are incorporated into molecu

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

A They are incorporated into molecules of sugar.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the metabolic process whereby sugar molecules are synthesized by plants in the presence of sunlight (light energy). For this process to occur, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are needed as reactants from external sources. Hence, the photosynthetic equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

According to this question, the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide are incorporated into sugar molecule (glucose). It takes 6 carbon atoms to produce one glucose molecule (C6H12O6). This process involves series of reaction in the light-independent stage of photosynthesis to occur.
