Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an electron to attract electrons.

Now, due to the fact that halogens need just one more electron to become stable in their outermost shell, it means all halogens are electronegative.

However, the smaller the atomic number, the bigger the charge density and thus the more electronegative.

Thus, it is the halogen element with the highest atomic number further down the periodic table that will have the least electro negativity and thus require highest amount of energy to attract other electrons.

Thus, since chlorine (Cl) has the least atomic number of 17, then it means that it will be the one that will easily accept the electrons the most from other elements. Therefore the process of transferring electrons from potassium to chlorine will take the least amount of energy.

The specific heat of a certain type of cooking oil is 1.75 j/(g·°c). how much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of
love history [14]
   The energy needed  to  raise   the  temperature   of 2.83 kg  of   the oil  from  23  to  191  is  calculated  using   Mc  delta T  formula

M= mass (  2.83  Kg  to  grams  =  2.83  x1000=  2830 grams)
C=  specific   heat   capacity  =   1.75  j/g/c
delta T=  change  in  temperature =   191-  23 =  168  c

heat   energy  =  1.75  j/g/c  x   2830  g  x  168 c=  832020  J

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The electrochemical synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen under mild conditions using renewable electricity is an attractive alternative to the energy-intensive Haber–Bosch process, which dominates industrial ammonia production.

Explanation:

However, there are considerable scientific and technical challenges facing the electrochemical alternative, and most experimental studies reported so far have achieved only low selectivities and conversions. The amount of ammonia produced is usually so small that it cannot be firmly attributed to electrochemical nitrogen fixation rather than contamination from ammonia that is either present in air, human breath or ion-conducting membranes, or generated from labile nitrogen-containing compounds (for example, nitrates, amines, nitrites and nitrogen oxides) that are typically present in the nitrogen gas stream, in the atmosphere or even in the catalyst itself. Although these sources of experimental artefacts are beginning to be recognized and managed, concerted efforts to develop effective electrochemical nitrogen reduction processes would benefit from benchmarking protocols for the reaction and from a standardized set of control experiments designed to identify and then eliminate or quantify the sources of contamination.
