Explanation:
Metals are the species which readily lose electrons in order to attain stability. This electron lost by the atom is actually present in its outermost shell which is also known as valence shell.
Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.
When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.
But when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to addition of number of electrons in the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.
Thus, we can conclude that metals have low ionization energies and readily share their valence or outer electrons with each other to form an electron sea. These electrons are delocalized or shared among all the atoms that are bonded together and can therefore move freely throughout the metal structure.
Iron (III) chloride catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide because the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is usually inhibited by the presence of ions such as phosphate ions in solution. The iron ions that would result from the dissolution of iron (III) chloride have a charge of 3+ and would bond with the -3 charged phosphate ions, creating a non-charged FePO4 molecule and removing the decomposition inhibitor from the solution. Potassium iodide and potassium chloride both are more strongly bonded than a transition metal compound and would lack the necessary charged iron ion when added to hydrogen peroxide.
P = 1.5atm ≈ 1519.88hPa
V = 8.56L
R = 83.1 [hPa*L] / [mol*K]
T = 0°C =273K
pV = nRT |:RT
n = pV / RT
n = [1519.88hPa*8.56L] / [83.1 [hPa*L] / <span>[mol*K] * 273K]
