electron affinity of lithium is -60 whereas of cesium is -45.this trend is due to... plz give me accurate answer

Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Caesium is 45.5 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol. Electronegativity of Lithium is 0.98. ... Electron affinities are more difficult to measure than ionization energies. An atom of Lithium in the gas phase, for example, gives off energy when it gains an electron to form an ion of Lithium.

Trends

The ionization energy of the elements within a period generally increases from left to right. This is due to valence shell stability.

The ionization energy of the elements within a group generally decreases from top to bottom. This is due to electron shielding.

The noble gases possess very high ionisation energies because of their full valence shells as indicated in the graph. Note that helium has the highest ionization energy of all the elements.

A 256 mL sample of HCl gas is in a flask where it exerts a force (pressure) of 67.5 mmHg. What is the pressure of the gas if it

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The pressure in the new flask would be $128\; \rm mmHg$ if the $\rm HCl$ here acts like an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Assume that the $\rm HCl$ sample here acts like an ideal gas. By Boyle's Law, the pressure $P$ of the gas should be inversely proportional to its volume $V$ .

For example, let the initial volume and pressure of the sample be $V_1$ and $P_1$ . The new volume $V_2$ and pressure $P_2$ of this sample shall satisfy the equation: $P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2$ .

In this question,

The initial volume of the gas is $V_1= 256\; \rm mL$ .
The initial pressure of the gas is $P_1 = 67.5\; \rm mmHg$ .
The new volume of the gas is $V_2 = 135\; \rm mL$ .

The goal is to find the new pressure of this gas, $P_2$ .

Assume that this sample is indeed an ideal gas. Then the equation $P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2$ should still hold. Rearrange the equation to separate the unknown, $P_2$ . Note: make sure that the units for $V_1$ and $V_2$ are the same before evaluating. That way, the unit of

$\begin{aligned} & P_2\\ &= \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{V_2} \\ &= \frac{256\; \rm mL \times 67.5\; \rm mmHg}{135\; \rm mL} \\ & \approx 128\; \rm mmHg\end{aligned}$ .

Its atom contains 50 electrons and 70 neutrons

Tcecarenko [31]

Tin-120 because an atom has to have a neutral charge. If an atom has 50 electrons it must have 50 protons unless it's an ion. Add 70 to the atomic mass because it has 70 neutrons on top of 50 protons. That equals to 120. Tin has an atomic number of 50 (meaning it has 50 protons) and it has roughly an atomic mass of about 118. If the given has 70 neutrons then it's a isotope of tin.

Which of the following is NOT an exothermic reaction?

nignag [31]

Answer:

a) dissolving sugar in water to form a mixture of sugar and water

Explanation:

exothermic reaction is reaction in which is heat is released during the reaction and endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is needed or required for the reaction to take place

all the options excluding option A) is exothermic as during the process of formation of bonds in oxidation, heat is released. rusting too is a slow form of oxidation and thus an exothermic reaction.

dissolving sugar in water is not exothermic reaction because their is no heat released. the sugar molecules simply disperses in the water molecules and form a solution.
