Lubov Fominskaja [6]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Atomic size gradually decreases from left to right across the periodic table because within a period of elements, all electrons are added to the same shell. However, at the same time, protons are being added to the nucleus, making it more positively charged. The effect of increasing proton number is greater than that of the increasing electron number. Therefore, there is a stronger nuclear attraction. This means that the nucleus attracts the electrons more strongly, pulling the atom's electron shells closer to the nucleus. As a result, the atomic diameter of the atom decreases.

How much heat (in kj) is required to warm 13.0 g of ice, initially at -12.0 ∘c, to steam at 113.0 ∘c? the heat capacity of ice i
olga nikolaevna [1]
The total amount of heat required is the sum of all the sensible heat and latent heats involved in bringing the ice to a desired temperature and state. The latent heat of fusion and vaporization of water 333.55 J/g and 2260 J/g, respectively. Solving for the total amount of heat,
                   total amount of heat = 13.0 g (2.09 J/gC)(12) + 13(333.55 J/g) + 13.0 g (4.18 J/gC)(100 - 0) + (13.0 g)(2260 J/g) + (13 g)(2.01 J/g)(113-100) 
                                        = 39815.88 J 
                                        = 39.82 kJ

What mass of silver ag which has an atomic mass of 107.87 amu contains the same number of atoms contained in 10.0g of boron b wh
Masteriza [31]

To contain the same number of atoms also mean to contain the same number of moles. So let us say that X is the mass of Silver Ag required, so that:

X / 107.87 = 10 / 10.81

<span>X = 99.79 g</span>

What causes gas pressure
kaheart [24]

The kinetic energy causes the air molecules to move faster and they impact the container walls more frequently and with more force. The kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases, so collisions with the walls of the container are now more forceful than they were before. As a result, the pressure of the gas doubles.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

the Law of multiple proportions

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions states that, if two elements A and B combine to form more than one chemical compound, then the various masses of one of the elements A, which combines with a fixed mass of the element B are in simple multiple ratio.

This is demonstrated in the formation of nitrogen compounds such as NO and N2O when nitrogen combines with oxygen. This ratio is always constant.
