Which element has a higher ionization energy than silicon? Magnesium, Germanium, Sodium, or Phosphorus

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fiesta28 [93]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Phosphorus

Explanation:

Phosphorus will have higher ionization energy than silicon from the given choices.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron in an atom.

Based on the periodic trends:

  • Across the period, ionization energy increases from left to right
  • Down a group, ionization energy decreases.

Since phosphorus is the element in the right most part after silicon, it has higher ionization energy

Enough of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water to produce a 1.64 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution is 2.82 . Calcu
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

A monoprotic acid, HX, will be in equilibrium in an aqueous medium such as:

HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)

<em>Where Ka is:</em>

Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]

<em>Where [] is the molar concentration in equilibrium of each specie. </em>

The equilibrium is reached when some HX reacts producing H+ and X-, that is:

[HX] = 1.64M - X

[H⁺] = X

[X⁻] = X

As pH is 2.82 = -log [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M:

[HX] = 1.64M - 1.51x10⁻³M = 1.638M

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M

[X⁻] = 1.51x10⁻³M

And Ka is:

Ka = [1.51x10⁻³M] [1.51x10⁻³M] / [1.638M]

<h3>Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶</h3>

Which of the following solutions is a good buffer system?A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M NaClA solution that is 0.10 M
patriot [66]

Answer:

A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M LiCN

Explanation:

  • A good buffer system contains a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt.
  • In this case; A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M LiCN, would make a good buffer system.
  • HCN is a weak acid, while LiCN is a salt of the weak acid, that is, CN- conjugate of the acid.

Match each element to the number of electrons in its valence shell
blondinia [14]

Answer: Be= 2, C =4,  Li = 1 and  B=3

Explanation:

The valence shell can be define as the outermost shell of an atom that contains the valence electrons.

Beryllium (Be), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2, = 2 electrons in its valence shell.

Carbon (C), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p2, = 4 electrons in its valence shell.

Lithium (Li), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s1 = 1 electron in its valence shell.

Boron (B) , electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p1 = 3 electron in its valence shell.
