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

Chemistry
2 answers:
Radda [10]3 years ago

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>.

Which reactions are single displacement reactions? 2NaBr + CaF2 → 2NaF + CaBr2 SnO2 + 2H2 → Sn + 2H2O 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O 2KClO3 →
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer : The correct options are, SnO_2+2H_2\rightarrow Sn+2H_2O and 2Al+6HCl\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3H_2

Explanation :

Single displacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element.

Option A reaction : 2NaBr+CaF_2\rightarrow 2NaF+CaBr_2

It is an example of double displacement reaction because in this reaction a positive cation and a negative anion of the two reactants exchange their places to form two new products.

Option B reaction : SnO_2+2H_2\rightarrow Sn+2H_2O

It is an example of single displacement reaction.

Option C reaction : 4Na+O_2\rightarrow 2Na_2O

It is an example of combination reaction because in this reaction two reactants react to give a single product.

Option D reaction : 2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2

It is an example of decomposition reaction because in this reaction a single reactant decomposes into two or more products.

Option E reaction : 2Al+6HCl\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3H_2

It is an example of single displacement reaction because in this reaction the most react element, aluminium displaces the less reactive element, hydrogen.

Hence, the options B and E are single displacement reactions.

Lithium iodide has a lattice energy of −7.3×102kJ/mol and a heat of hydration of −793kJ/mol. Find the heat of solution for lithi
Anna007 [38]
Delta H of solution = -Lattice Energy + Hydration 
<span>Delta H of solution=- (-730)+(-793) </span>
<span>Delta H of solution= -63kJ/mol </span>

<span>Now we find moles of LiI: </span>
<span>10gLiI/133.85g=.075moles </span>
<span>multiply moles to the delta H of solution to cross cancel moles. .75moles x -64kJ/mol =4.7</span>

The ph of a 0.0100 m solution of the sodium salt of a weak acid is 11.00. what is the ka of the acid?
Vitek1552 [10]
The answer is Ka = 1.00x10^-10.
Solution:
When given the pH value of the solution equal to 11, we can compute for pOH as
     pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 11.00 = 3.00
We solve for the concentration of OH- using the equation
     [OH-] = 10^-pOH = 10^-3 = x

Considering the sodium salt NaA in water, we have the equation
     NaA → Na+ + A- 
hence, [A-] = 0.0100 M

Since HA is a weak acid, then A- must be the conjugate base and we can set up an ICE table for the reaction
                             A- + H2O ⇌ HA + OH-
     Initial             0.0100            0       0
     Change        -x                    +x     +x
     Equilibrium    0.0100-x         x       x

We can now calculate the Kb for A-:
     Kb = [HA][OH-] / [A-] 
           = x<span>²</span> / 0.0100-x
Approximating that x is negligible compared to 0.0100 simplifies the equation to
     Kb = (10^-3)² / 0.0100 = 0.000100 = 1.00x10^-4

We can finally calculate the Ka for HA from the Kb, since we know that Kw = Ka*Kb = 1.0 x 10^-14:
     Ka = Kw / Kb 
           = 1.00x10^-14 / 1.00x10^-4
           = 1.00x10^-10
