Explain the following phenomena. why Fluorine has lower electron affinity than chlorine​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Radda [10]3 years ago
4 0

Electron affinity for fluorine is than chlorine most likely , due to the electron repulsion that occur between the electron where n= 2 . the elements in the second period have such small electron clouds that electron repulsion is greater than that of the rest of the family.

Answer:

Fluorine ,through higher than chlorine in the periodic table,has a very small atomic size.This makes the fluoride anion so formed unstable(Highley reactive) due to very high charge/mass/ratio. ...As a result,fluorine has an electron affinity less than that of <u>Chlorine</u>.

A 30.7 g sample of Strontium nitrate, Sr(NO3)2•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass of 22.9 g. Calculate the hydration number.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

  • <em>Hydration number:</em> 4

Explanation:

<u>1) Mass of water in the hydrated compound</u>

Mass of water = Mass of the hydrated sample - mass of the dehydrated compound

Mass of water = 30.7 g - 22.9 g = 7.8 g

<u>2) Number of moles of water</u>

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • molar mass of H₂O = 2×1.008 g/mol + 15.999 g*mol = 18.015 g/mol

  • Number of moles of H₂O = 7.9 g / 18.015 g/mol = 0.439 mol

<u>3) Number of moles of Strontium nitrate dehydrated, Sr (NO₃)₂</u>

  • The mass of strontium nitrate dehydrated is the constant mass obtained after heating = 22.9 g

  • Molar mass of Sr (NO₃)₂ :  211.63 g/mol (you can obtain it from a internet or calculate using the atomic masses of each element from a periodic table).

  • Number of moles of Sr (NO₃)₂ = 22.9 g / 211.63 g/mol =  0.108 mol

<u>4) Ratio</u>

  • 0.439 mol H₂O / 0.108 mol Sr(NO₃)₂ ≈  4 mol H₂O : 1 mol Sr (NO₃)₂

Which means that the hydration number is 4.

what is the balanced equation when copper metal is placed in a solution when platnium ii chloride is placed. what is the equatio
koban [17]

Answer:

Cu~+~PtCl_2->Pt~+~CuCl_2

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the <u>formula of Platinum (II) Chloride</u>. The cation is the atom at the left of the name (in this case Pt^+^2) and the anion is the atom at the right of the name (in this case Cl^-). With this in mind, the <u>formula would be</u> PtCl_2.

Now, if we used <u>metallic copper</u> we have to put in the reaction only the <u>copper atom symbol</u> Cu. So, we have as reagents:

Cu~+~PtCl_2->

The question now is: <u>What would be the products?</u> To answer this, we have to remember <u>"single displacement reactions"</u>. With a general reaction:

A~+~BC->AB~+~C

With this in mind, the reaction would be:

Cu~+~PtCl_2->Pt~+~CuCl_2

I hope it helps!

ladessa [460]

The correct answer is From different social and ethnic backgrounds.

Explanation:

The purpose of science studies is to gain an understanding of specific phenomena and use this in the benefit of the world or humanity. Moreover, science is guided by objective methods and these are applied all around the world. This feature allows scientists from all kinds of social and ethnic backgrounds to study the same phenomena and obtain similar results, which is essential for the progress of scientific knowledge. This is exemplified by two different labs in two different countries studying drug absorption because the results of these two studies can be analyzed together to understand drug absorption.

In this context, one factor that contributes to the progress of scientific knowledge is the effort of scientists "from different social and ethnic backgrounds".
