Which atom, selenium (Se) or Arsenic (As), has the higher electron affinity and why?

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

5. Selenium, because it does not have a stable, half-filled p subshell and adding an electron does not decrease its stability.

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.

Selenium:-

The electronic configuration of the element is:-

$[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^4$

Arsenic:-

The electronic configuration of the element is:-

$[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^3$

The 4p orbital in case of arsenic is half filled which makes the element having more stability as compared to selenium.

Thus, selenium has higher electron affinity because adding electron does not decrease the stability as in case of arsenic.

Identify the reversible chemical reaction below. A. reactants=>products B. Products <=> reactants C. products => rea

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Its B

Explanation:

Products <=> reactants; products can go back to reactant and reactants can form products, depending on the equilibrium position.

The equilibrium position, if it is on the left, and much of the product is formed. If the equilibrium position is not the right, then its the vice versa The equilibrium position is determined by ;

Temperature

If the reaction is endothermic, it will be favoured by increase in temperature and equilibrium position will shift to the right ( reactants )

If the reaction is exothermic, its the vice versa

NOTE: Only temperature affects the equilibrium position

Last week you reacted magnesium with a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution and hydrogen gas was produced. Let's say that you coll

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

69.8 kilo Pasacl is the pressure of the hydrogen gas.

Explanation:

$Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2$

Pressure at which hydrogen gas collected = p = 101.2 kilo Pascals

Vapor pressure water = $p^o$ = 31.4 kilo Pascals

The pressure of hydrogen gas = P

The pressure at which gas was collected was sum of vapor pressure of water and hydrogen gas.

$p=P+p^o$

$P =p-p^o=101.2 kPa-31.4 kPa=69.8 kPa$

69.8 kilo Pasacl is the pressure of the hydrogen gas.
