Explain why calcium (Ca) has a greater atomic radius than magnesium (Mg).

Chemistry
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)

g 32.53 g of a solid is heated to 100.oC and added to 50.0 g of water in a coffee cup calorimeter and the contents are allowed t
Radda [10]

Answer:

0.886 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the heat absorbed by the water

We will use the following expression

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

  • Q: heat
  • c: specific heat capacity
  • m: mass
  • ΔT: change in the temperature

Q(water) = c(water) × m(water) × ΔT(water)

Q(water) = 4.184 J/g.°C × 50.0 g × (34.4 °C - 25.36 °C) = 1.89 × 10³ J

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the energy lost by the solid and the energy absorbed by the water is zero.

Q(water) + Q(solid) = 0

Q(solid) = -Q(water) =  -1.89 × 10³ J

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the solid

We will use the following expression.

Q(solid) = c(solid) × m(solid) × ΔT(solid)

c(solid) = Q(solid) / m(solid) × ΔT(solid)

c(solid) = (-1.89 × 10³ J) / 32.53 g × (34.4 °C - 100. °C) = 0.886 J/g.°C

What are alkali metals
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Alkali metals are highly reactive elements that appear to be silver and they are found in group 1 of the periodic table.  It consists of lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).  As you go further down the group, the more reactive they are.  Those elements all react to water and air, so they must be kept in oil to preserve their state.
