Explain why the atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group ?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
andreyandreev [35.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

In general, atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group. ... Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, so there is a greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. This results in a larger atomic radius.

Why is it permissible to use a wet bottle when first obtaining your kmno4 solution?
Murrr4er [49]
For the answer to the question above, well presumably because the exact concentration of the composition KMnO4 solution doesn't matter. <span>If the concentration of the KMnO4 solution is important (usually in titrations etc.) then it is not allowed to use a wet bottle. The water in the bottle will dilute the KMnO4 solution and change the concentration of the said compound.</span>

What sample has particles with the lowest average kinetic energy
makvit [3.9K]

The sample with the lowest AVERAGE kinetic energy is
the coolest one.

The sample with the lowest TOTAL kinetic energy depends on
not only the temperature of the samples, but also on their size,
since each molecule in the sample has kinetic energy.

In atmospheric chemistry, the following chemical reaction converts SO2, the predominant oxide of sulfur that comes from combusti
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information;

The chemical reaction can be well presented as follows:

\mathtt{SO_{2(g)} + \dfrac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} }  ⇄ \mathtt{3SO_{2(l)}}

Now, K is known to be the equilibrium constant and it can be represented in terms of each constituent activity:

i.e

K = \dfrac{a_{so_3}}{a_{so_2} a_{o_2}^{\frac{1}{2}}}

However, since we are dealing with liquids solutions;

K = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{Pso_2}{P^0}\Big ( \dfrac{Po_2}{P^0} \Big)^{1/2}}   since the activity of a_{so_3} is equivalent to 1

Hence, under standard conditions(i.e at a pressure of 1 bar)

K = \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}

(b)

From the CRC Handbook, we are meant to determine the value of the Gibb free energy by applying the formula:

\Delta _{rxn} G^o = \sum \Delta_f \ G^o (products) - \sum \Delta_fG^o (reactants) \\ \\ = (1) (-368 \ kJ/mol) - (\dfrac{1}{2}) (0) - ((1) (-300.13 \ kJ/mol)) \\ \\ = -368 \ kJ/mol + 300.13 \ kJ/mol \\ \\  \simeq -68 \ kJ/mol

Thus, for this reaction; the Gibbs frree energy = -68 kJ/mol

(c)

Le's recall that:

At equilibrium, the instantaneous free energy is usually zero &

Q(reaction quotient) is equivalent to K(equilibrium constant)

So;

\mathtt{\Delta _{rxn} G = \Delta _{rxn} G^o + RT In Q}

\mathtt{0- \Delta _{rxn} G^o = RTIn K } \\ \\ \mathtt{ \Delta _{rxn} G^o = -RTIn K }  \\ \\  K = e^{\dfrac{\Delta_{rxn} G^o}{RT}} \\ \\  K = e^{^{\dfrac{67900 \ J/mol}{8.314 \ J/mol \times 298 \ K}} }

K =7.98390356\times 10^{11} \\ \\  \mathbf{K = 7.98 \times 10^{11}}

(d)

The direction by which the reaction will proceed can be determined if we can know the value of Q(reaction quotient).

This is because;

If  Q < K, then the reaction will proceed in the right direction towards the products.

However, if Q > K , then the reaction goes to the left direction. i.e to the reactants.

So;

Q= \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}

Since we are dealing with liquids;

Q= \dfrac{1}{1 \times 1^{1/2}}

Q = 1

Since Q < K; Then, the reaction proceeds in the right direction.

Hence, SO2 as well O2 will combine to yield SO3, then condensation will take place to form liquid.

A solution is made by mixing 33.0 ml of ethanol, C2H6O and 67.0 ml of water. Assuming ideal behavior, what is the vapor pressure
ivann1987 [24]
Grams ethanol = 33 ml times .789 gms/ml = 26.037 gms 

<span>Moles ethanol = 26.037 gms / 46 gms/mole = .57 moles </span>

<span>Moles water = 67 ml or 67 grams/18 gms/mole = 3.22 moles </span>

<span>total moles = .57 + 3.72 = 4.29 moles </span>

<span>Mole fraction ethanol = .57 moles ethanol / 4.29 moles total = 0.13</span>

<span>Moles fraction water = 3.72 moles water / 4.29 moles total = 0.87</span>

<span>Partial pressure of ethanol = mole fraction ethanol (.13) _ times VP ethanol 43.9 torr) = 5.707 torr </span>

<span>partial pressure water = mole fraction water .87) times VP water (l7.5 torr) = 15.23 torr </span>

<span>Total vapor pressure over solution = 5.71 torr + 15.23 torr = 20.94 torr</span>
