Explain why it is harder to remove an inner shell electron than a valence electron from an atom?

1 answer:

4 0

It makes sense that an inner shell electron would be tougher to remove than a valence electron because the inner shell electron is closer to the positive nucleus of the atom. Seeing as an electron caries a negative charge it would be too attracted to the positive core to leave readily. Also, the inner shell electrons are constantly repelling electrons outside of it's energy level (however the reason these electrons outside innershell energy levels don't simply fly away is the charge of the positive core overcomes the smaller charges of the comparably negligible inner shell electrons, but that repulsion is still there.

Octane C8H18 is an ingredient in gasoline. How many carbon atoms are in 20 kg of octane? help please

eduard

Answer:

Octane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula C 8 H 18, and the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 6 CH 3.Octane has many structural isomers that differ by the amount and location of branching in the carbon chain. One of these isomers, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (commonly called iso-octane) is used as one of the standard values in the octane rating scale.

Chemical formula: C₈H₁₈

Molar mass: 114.232 g·mol−1

Melting point: −57.1 to −56.6 °C; −70.9 to −69.8 °F; 216.0 to 216.6 K

Solubility in water: 0.007 mg dm−3 (at 20 °C)

If you have 120. mL of a 0.100 M TES buffer at pH 7.55 and you add 3.00 mL of 1.00 M HCl, what will be the new pH? (The pKa of T

Simora [160]

Answer:

The new pH after adding HCl is 7.07

Explanation:

The formula for calculating pH of a buffer is

pH = pKa + log([Conjugate base]/[Acid])

<u>Before adding HCl,</u>

7.55 = 7.55 + log([Conjugate base]/[Acid])

⇔ log([Conjugate base]/[Acid]) = 0

⇔ [Conjugate base] = [Acid] = 1/2 x 0.100 = 0.05 M

⇒ Mole of Conjugate base = Mole of Acid = 0.05 M x 0.12 mL = 0.006 mol

<u>After adding HCl (3.00 mL, 1.00 M)</u>

⇒ Mole of HCl = 0.003 x 1 = 0.003 mol)

New volume solution is 120 m L+ 3 mL = 123 mL

HCl is a strong acid, it will convert the conjugate base to acid form, or we can express

Mole of new Conjugate base = 0.006 - 0.003 = 0.003 mol

⇒ Concentration = 0.003/0.123 M

Mole of new Acid form = 0.006 + 0.003 = 0.009 mol

⇒ Concentration = 0.009/0.123 M

Use the formula

pH = pKa + log([Conjugate base]/[Acid])

= 7.55 + log(0.003 / 0.009) = 7.07
