Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In an atom, the inner electrons may shield the outer electrons from the attractive force of the nucleus. We, refer to this phenomenon as the <u><em>shielding effect</em></u>, It is defined as a decrease in the magnitude of attraction between an electron and the nucleus of an atom having more than one electron shell (energy level).

Shielding effect increases down the group due to addition of more shells but decreases across the period due to the increase in the size of the nuclear charge.

As the magnitude of shielding increases down the group, ionization of electrons becomes easier and the first ionization energies of elements decreases as we move down the group. Since shielding effect decreases across the period, the first ionization energies of elements increases across the period.

Exactly 1.0 mol N2O4 is placed in an empty 1.0-L container and is allowed to reach equilibriumdescribed by the equation N2O4(g)↔
Vilka [71]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 1.1

Solution :  Given,

Initial moles of N_2O_4 = 1.0 mole

Initial volume of solution = 1.0 L

First we have to calculate the concentration N_2O_4.

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{\text{Moles of }N_2O_4}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{1.0moles}{1.0L}=1.0M

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                           N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

Initially                      c                 0

At equilibrium   (c-c\alpha)           2c\alpha

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

where,

\alpha = degree of dissociation = 40 % = 0.4

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

K_c=\frac{(2\times 1\times 0.4)^2}{(1-1\times 0.4)}

K_c=1.066\aprrox 1.1

Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 1.1

SOLVE A 4.80-gram piece of magnesium displaces 2.76 mL of water when it is placed in a graduated cylinder. What is the density o
Stels [109]

Answer:

<em>Density = 1.74 gm/mL</em>

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of piece of Magnesium = 4.80 grams

The volume displaced by this piece = 2.76mL

Let us learn about a property:

Volume of water displaced by a substance when immersed in the water is equal to the Volume of the substance itself.

So, volume of the piece of Magnesium = 2.76 mL

To find:

Density of magnesium = ?

Solution:

Let us have a look at the formula for Density of a Substance:

Density of a substance is given as the ratio of mass of substance and the volume of that mass of substance.

i.e.

Density = \dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

Putting the given values:

Density = \dfrac{4.80}{2.76}\\\Rightarrow \bold{Density = 1.74\ gm/mL}

So, the answer is:

Density of Magnesium = <em>1.74 gm/mL</em>

are there any chemical bonds or forces of attraction between a solid surface (such as a glass (SiO2) or a polypropen (C3H6) plat
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Yes, there are forces of attraction between the surfaces.

It is adhesive force.

Explanation:

Adhesive force is the bonding between two or more molecules of different materials, causing them to stick together.
