Answer: Chlorine

Explanation: Since chlorine's 17 protons are greater than magnesium's 12 protons, chlorine will have a greater effective nuclear charge to draw chlorine's valence electrons closer to the nucleus and, thus, chlorine is expected to have the smaller atomic radius, while magnesium with the lower effective nuclear charge is expected to have the larger atomic radius.

¿Cuál de los siguientes no es un ejemplo de movimiento de masas?

babunello [35]

Which of the following is not an example of a mass movement?

to. a. Ground slides b) acid rain c. mud flow d. drop

Answer:

b) acid rain

Explanation:

Acid rain is not an example or a type of mass movement.

Mass movement or mass wasting is the movement of rocks, soils and other debris downslope under the influence of gravity.

Water, slope and gravity are triggers of mass movement.

Acid rain is a not a form of mass movement
It occurs with some certain gases mixes rain water to produce an acidic precipitation.
When the water falls to the each surface, it causes problems to the ecosystem and can also corrode building materials.

Are the following combinations allowed? If not, show two ways to correct them:

mafiozo [28]

The following combination of n=3 ; l=1 ; ml=-2 is not allowed. One way to correct this would be by changing the azimuthal quantum number, l and the other way would be to change the magnetic quantum number, m.

<h3>Is the following combination n=3; l=1; ml=-2 allowed or not.? If not, suggest two ways through which it can be corrected.</h3>

The following combination of n=3 ; l=1 ; ml=-2 is not allowed.

There are several rules that need to be followed for assigning electron quantum numbers. They are:

1. Principal quantum number should be 1 ≤ n

2. Azimuthal quantum number, 0 ≤ l ≤ n − 1

3. Magnetic quantum number, -l ≤ ml ≤ l

4. Spin quantum number as either -1/2 or +1/2

For n = 3,

l should be n - 1 or n - 2 or n - 3 = 2, 1, 0 respectively.

If we choose l = 1 then ml should be -1, 0 and +1

Therefore, one way to correct the combination would be to change the magnetic quantum number to -1

If we choose l = 2 then ml would be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2

Thus, another way to correct the combination is to choose the azimuthal quantum number as 2.

Thus, the following combination of n=3; l=1; ml=-2 is not allowed. One way to correct this would be by changing the azimuthal quantum number, l and the other way would be to change the magnetic quantum number, m.

A sample of gas has a volume of 20.0 liters at 22.0° C. If the pressure remains constant, what is the volume at 100.0° C?

miv72 [106K]

The problem applies Charles' law since constant pressure with varying volume and temperature are given. Assuming ideal gas law, the equation to be used is $\frac{ V_{1} }{ T_{1} }$ = $\frac{ V_{2} }{ T_{2} }$ . We make sure the temperatures are expressed in Kelvin, hence the given added with 273. The volume 2 is equal to 25.2881 liters.

The gas phase decomposition of sulfuryl chloride at 600 K SO2Cl2(g)SO2(g) + Cl2(g) is first order in SO2Cl2. During one experime

krok68 [10]

Answer: The rate constant for the reaction is $3.96\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}$

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample = 559 min

a = let initial amount of the reactant = $2.83\times 10^{-3}$

a - x = amount left after decay process = $3.06\times 10^{-4}$

$559min=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{2.83\times 10^{-3}}{3.06\times 10^{-4}}$

$k=\frac{2.303}{559}\log\frac{2.83\times 10^{-3}}{3.06\times 10^{-4}}$

$k=3.96\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}$

The rate constant for the reaction is $3.96\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}$

What only adds mass to the nucleus

Furkat [3]

Majority of the atoms mass is found in the nucleus, which consists of protons and neutrons. Neutrons have a neutral charge, while protons have a positive charge.
