Explain why the ionization energy to remove a second electron from potassium is higher than the ionization energy to remove four

electrons from silicon.
Chemistry
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

It is more difficult to remove electrons from the second shell or energy level because of the imbalance between the positive nuclear charge and the remaining electrons.

  • The amount of energy required to remove electrons in ground state of an atom is the ionization energy.
  • The first ionization energy is the energy needed to remove the most loosely bound electron of an atom in the gas phase in ground state.
  • The second energy has a greater nuclear pull as it is closer to the nucleus.
  • Both potassium and silicon have the same number of energy levels.

What did you observe<br> when heat was added to the penny with iodine?
Andru [333]
This is a difficult task because zinc is much more active than copper and could hardly be passivated. ... The sur- face immediately turns white (the color of copper(I) iodide) and the yellow-brown color of iodine quickly fades.

3. If you start with 8x1025 molecules of Cl, and 25 grams of KI, how many grams of KCl would
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Percent yield = 89.1%

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

Cl₂ + 2KI → 2KCl + I₂

<em>1 mole of Cl₂ reacts with 2 moles of KI to produce to moles of KCl</em>

<em />

To solve this quesiton we must find the moles of each reactant in order to find the limiting reactant. With the limiting reactant we can find the moles of KCl and the mass:

<em>Moles Cl₂:</em>

8x10²⁵ molecules * (1mol / 6.022x10²³ molecules) = 133 moles

<em>Moles KI -Molar mass: 166.0028g/mol-</em>

25g * (1mol / 166.0028g) = 0.15 moles

Here, clarely, the KI is the limiting reactant

As 2 moles of KI produce 2 moles of KCl, the moles of KCl produced are 0.15 moles. The theoretical mass is:

0.15 moles * (74.5513g / mol) =

11.2g KCl

Percent yield is: Actual yield (10.0g) / Theoretical yield (11.2g) * 100

<h3>Percent yield = 89.1%</h3>

Answer:

Me and my friends were going to do a science experiment. Jonny’s job was to make the HYPOTHESIS. He said the “ If we mix baking soda and vinegar together, the TEMPERATURE will go down.”

So then Molly mixed the baking soda and vinegar together and checked the TEMPERATURE. We all OBSERVED as the thermometer’s TEMPERATURE went down. “ your THEORY/ HYPOTHESIS was correct!” Exclaimed Molly.

Then the whole science GROUP let out with a cheer! And wrote the information down on their EXPERIMENTAL info chart. They took a microscope and looked at the mixture because they wanted to the the little PARTICLES in the mixture. Lily CONTROLED the microscope she zoomed in and out to see the particles.

Explanation:

i hope this helps:)
