Why is it easier to remove an electron from a sodium atom than a magnesium atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]2 years ago
5 0
It doesn't take much energy to remove one electron from a sodium atom to form an Na+ ion with a filled-shell electron configuration. The first ionization energy of magnesium is larger than sodium because magnesium has one more proton in its nucleus to hold on to the electrons in the 3s orbital.

How many moles of Manganese there in are 5.76 x 10(15) atoms of Mn?
aksik [14]

Answer:

1. 9.57 × 10^-9 moles.

2. 7.38mol

Explanation:

1.) To find the number of moles there are in the number of particles in an atom, we divide the number of particles (nA) by Avagadro's constant (6.02 × 10^23)

Hence, to find the number of moles (n) of Manganese (Mn), we say:

5.76 x 10^15 atoms ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

5.76/6.02 × 10^(15-23)

= 0.957 × 10^-8

= 9.57 × 10^-9 moles.

2.) Mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5g/mol

mole = 431.6 g ÷ 58.5g/mol

mole = 7.38mol
