The electron affinity of an element is positive if energy is absorbed during the process of accepting an electron and negative i

f energy is released during the process. Using the electron configuration of the atom or ion undergoing the addition of an electron, predict whether the electron affinity will be positive or negative for the following reactions, and classify them accordingly.
Na(g)+ 1e^- → Na^-(g)
Mg(g)+1e^- → Mg^-(g)
Br(g)+ 1e^- → Br^-(g)

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the energy released when an extra electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom. A negative value of electron affinity indicates that energy is given out and vice versa.

Metals have positive electron affinity since electrons rarely accept electrons, so;

Na(g)+ 1e^- → Na^-(g)      positive

Mg(g)+1e^- → Mg^-(g)      positive

For the last case; Br(g)+ 1e^- → Br^-(g), the electron affinity for the non-metals is negative. hence the answer

What does it mean for a strong base to be in equilibrium?
prisoha [69]

The position of equilibrium lies far to the right, with products being favoured. Hence, option A is correct.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Chemical equilibrium is a condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs.

A very high value of K indicates that at equilibrium most of the reactants are converted into products.

The equilibrium constant K is the ratio of the concentrations of products to the concentrations of reactants raised to appropriate stoichiometric coefficients.

When the value of the equilibrium constant is very high, the concentration of products is much higher than the concentration of reactants.

This means that most of the reactants are converted into products and the position of equilibrium lies far to the right, with products being favoured.

Hence, option A is correct.

alexandr402 [8]
The correct answer for this question is this one: " a.The solution has a volume of 25 mL "

The observation that shows a quantitative observation is when you are talking about numeric data. Just like this one, <em>The solution has a volume of 25 mL </em>
Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.

Which processes result in the realese of carbon
Zanzabum

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere by human activities. When hydrocarbon fuels (i.e. wood, coal, natural gas, gasoline, and oil) are burned, carbon dioxide is released. During combustion or burning, carbon from fossil fuels combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.
