Why k has more shielding effect than Na?

Chemistry

Explanation:

As the charge of all electrons are equal, the repulsive force exerted by each of them is also going to be equal. So, as K has more electrons repulsing its valence electron than Na, it has greater electron shielding.

Chemistry Help (Naming Oxyacids Chart)

guapka [62]

Answer:

HClO₃ /chloric acid /suffix -ic/ ClO₃⁻ (chlorate)

HClO₂/ chlorous acid/ suffix -ous/ ClO₂⁻ (chlorite)

HNO₃ /nitric acid /suffix -ic/ NO₃⁻ (nitrate)

HNO₂/ nitrous acid/ suffix -ous/ NO₂⁻ (nitrite)

Explanation:

Chlorine has 4 positive oxidation numbers to form oxyacids: +1, +3, +5 and +7.

When it uses the oxidation number +5, it forms HClO₃, which is named chloric acid, with the suffix -ic. When it loses an H⁺, it forms the oxyanion ClO₃⁻ (chlorate).

When it uses the oxidation number +3, it forms HClO₂, which is named chlorous acid, with the suffix -ous. When it loses an H⁺, it forms the oxyanion ClO₂⁻ (chlorite).

Nitrogen has 2 positive oxidation numbers to form oxyacids: +3 and +5.

When it uses the oxidation number +5, it forms HNO₃, which is named nitric acid, with the suffix -ic. When it loses an H⁺, it forms the oxyanion NO₃⁻ (nitrate).

When it uses the oxidation number +3, it forms HNO₂, which is named nitrous acid, with the suffix -ous. When it loses an H⁺, it forms the oxyanion NO₂⁻ (nitrite).

A scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, for a laboratory experiment. How many grams of Na3PO4

balu736 [363]

Answer:

51.53 grams .

Explanation:

Na₃PO₄ ⇄ 3Na⁺¹ + PO₄⁻³ .

1 mole 3 mole

725 mL of 1.3 M Na⁺ ions

= .725 x 1.3 moles of Na⁺ ions

= .9425 moles

3 mole of Na⁺ is formed by 1 mole of Na₃PO₄

.9425 mole of Na⁺ is formed by .9425/3 mole of Na₃PO₄

Na₃PO₄ needed = .9425/3 moles = .3142 moles

Molecular weight of Na₃PO₄ = 164

grams of Na₃PO₄ needed = .3142 x 164 = 51.53 grams .

What's a word equation

Yuri [45]

A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
<em>If you want information on the balanced symbol equations, feel free to PM me.</em>
