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

Chemistry

gulaghasi [49]3 years ago

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.

Which of the following statements is one
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

a. All elements are composed of atoms.

Explanation:

dalton's atomic theory says that Compounds are composed of atoms of more than 1 element. The relative number of atoms of each element in a given compound is always the same. Chemical reactions only involve the rearrangement of atoms. Atoms are not created or destroyed during chemical reactions.

Determine Z and V for steam at 250°C and 1800 kPa by the following: (a) The truncated virial equation [Eq. (3.38)] with the foll
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the temperature T_1 = 250 °C= ( 250+ 273.15 ) K = 523.15 K

Pressure = 1800 kPa

a)

The truncated viral equation is expressed as:

\frac{PV}{RT} = 1 + \frac{B}{V} + \frac{C}{V^2}

where; B = - 152.5 \ cm^3 /mol   C = -5800 cm^6/mol^2

R = 8.314 × 10³ cm³ kPa. K⁻¹.mol⁻¹

Plugging all our values; we have

\frac{1800*V}{8.314*10^3*523.15} = 1+ \frac{-152.5}{V} + \frac{-5800}{V^2}

4.138*10^{-4}  \ V= 1+ \frac{-152.5}{V} + \frac{-5800}{V^2}

Multiplying through with V² ; we have

4.138*10^4  \ V ^3 = V^2 - 152.5 V - 5800 = 0

4.138*10^4  \ V ^3 - V^2 + 152.5 V + 5800 = 0

V = 2250.06  cm³ mol⁻¹

Z = \frac{PV}{RT}

Z = \frac{1800*2250.06}{8.314*10^3*523.15}

Z = 0.931

b) The truncated virial equation [Eq. (3.36)], with a value of B from the generalized Pitzer correlation [Eqs. (3.58)–(3.62)].

The generalized Pitzer correlation is :

T_c = 647.1 \ K \\ \\ P_c = 22055 \  kPa  \\ \\ \omega = 0.345

T__{\gamma}} = \frac{T}{T_c}

T__{\gamma}} = \frac{523.15}{647.1}

T__{\gamma}} = 0.808

P__{\gamma}} = \frac{P}{P_c}

P__{\gamma}} = \frac{1800}{22055}

P__{\gamma}} = 0.0816

B_o = 0.083 - \frac{0.422}{T__{\gamma}}^{1.6}}

B_o = 0.083 - \frac{0.422}{0.808^{1.6}}

B_o = 0.51

B_1 = 0.139 - \frac{0.172}{T__{\gamma}}^{ \ 4.2}}

B_1 = -0.282

The compressibility is calculated as:

Z = 1+ (B_o + \omega B_1 ) \frac{P__{\gamma}}{T__{\gamma}}

Z = 1+ (-0.51 +(0.345* - 0.282) ) \frac{0.0816}{0.808}

Z = 0.9386

V= \frac{ZRT}{P}

V= \frac{0.9386*8.314*10^3*523.15}{1800}

V = 2268.01 cm³ mol⁻¹

c) From the steam tables (App. E).

At T_1 = 523.15 \  K \ and  \ P = 1800 \ k Pa

V = 0.1249 m³/ kg

M (molecular weight) = 18.015 gm/mol

V  =  0.1249 × 10³ × 18.015

V = 2250.07 cm³/mol⁻¹

R = 729.77 J/kg.K

Z = \frac{PV}{RT}

Z = \frac{1800*10^3 *0.1249}{729.77*523.15}

Z = 0.588

Explain what would happen to the air temperature at Riverdale School over the course of the
monitta

Answer:

Air temperature increases.

Explanation:

The air temperature at Riverdale School increases if the groundwater system were used because this system uses very huge amount of water than the other system. By using more molecules having the same temperature, the thing with more molecules has more total kinetic energy or thermal energy than the thing with fewer molecules so that's why air temperature of the school is increases.
