Answer:

Explanation:

Ionization energy is defined required energy to eliminate or remove an electron from an ion or atom.

From the given elements Rb or Rubidium has the lowest ionization energy as it has lowest shielding effect, so it easy to remove electron from it's shell.

The ionization energy generally decreases from top to bottom in groups due to lower shielding effect and outer electrons are loosely packed so easy to remove and increases from left to right across a period because of valence shell stability.

Rubidium has atomic number 37 and lies below than other given elements and also placed in the left side in the periodic table.

Hence, the correct option is Rb

How many grams of sodium chloride are present in a 0.75 M solution with a volume of 500.0 milliliters?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The units for molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution which means if you multiply the molarity of a solution by its volume you get how many moles of solute are in the solution. (0.75Mx0.5L=0.375mol NaCl) Then you can multiply the moles of sodium chloride (0.375 mol) by its molar mass (58.45 g/mol) to get 21.92g of sodium chloride. That means there is 21.92 grams of sodium chloride in 500mL of 0.75M solution. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

For the reaction 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g) => N2(g) + 2 H2O(g) the following data were collected. What is the rate law for this react

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: The rate law expression for the given reaction is written below.

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(g)$
