Yup, if you add a catalyst the activation energy needed to overcome is lower to form a reaction.

In Experiment 9, a 1.05 g sample of a mixture of NaCl (MW 58.45) and NaNO2 (MW 69.01) is reacted with excess sulfamic acid. The

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

There is 76.6 mL of nitrogen collected

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample = 1. 05 grams

The sample is 40.00% by mass NaNO2

MW of NaCl = 58.45 g/mol

MW of NaNO2 = 69.01 g/mol

Temperature = 22.0 °C

Pressure = 750.0 mmHg = (750/760) atm

The vapor pressure of water at 22.0°C is 19.8 mm Hg = 0.02605 atm

Step 2: Calculate mass of NaNO2

(40/100)*1.05 = 0.42 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles of NaNO2

Moles NaNO2 = 0.42 grams / 69.01 g/mol

Moles NaNO2 = 0.00608 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of N2

For 2 moles of NaNO2 we'll get 1 mol of N2

For 0.00608 moles of NaNO2 we'll get 0.00608/2 = 0.00304 moles

Step 5: Calculate pressure of N2

P = 750.0 - 19.8 = 730.2 mmHg = (730.2/760)atm = 0.96079 atm = 97352 Pa

Step 6: Calculate volume of N2

PV = nRT

⇒ P = the pressure of N2 = 0.96079

⇒ V = the volume of N2 = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ n = moles of N2 = 0.00304 moles

⇒ R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 22°C = 295 Kelvin

V = (0.00304*0.08206*295)/0.96079

V = 0.0766 L = 76.6 mL

There is 76.6 mL of nitrogen collected

Metals have low ionization energies and readily share their ________ or outer electrons with each other to form an electron ____

Dmitry [639]

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.
