The diameter of neutral atoms generally decreases going left to right across one period on the periodic table. What change cause

s this decrease in diameter of atoms?
Chemistry

Lubov Fominskaja [6]3 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.

Wine has a pH of 3, which means it is __________ times more acidic than tomatoes, which have a pH of 4.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus,  

pH = - log [H⁺]

Thus, from the formula, more the concentration of the hydrogen ions or more the acidic the solution is, the less is the pH value of the solution.

Thus, solution with pH = 3 will be more acidic than solution with pH =4  

Thus, concentration of the [H⁺] when pH =3

3 = - log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M

For pH = 4, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴ M

<u>hence, pH = 3 is 10 times more acidic than pH = 4</u>

How long would it take for 1.50 mol of water at 100.0 âc to be converted completely into steam if heat were added at a constant
defon
To convert boiling water to steam, that would involve heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization for water at atmospheric conditions is: ΔHvap = <span>2260 J/g.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Q = m</span>ΔHvap = (1.50 mol water)(18 g/mol)(<span>2260 J/g) = 61,020 J

Time = Q/Rate = (61,020 J)(1 s/20 J) = 3051 seconds

In order to express the answer in three significant units, let's convert that to minutes.
Time = 3051 s * 1min/30 s = <em>102 min</em></span>

A piece of iron is heated to 95.0 celsius and then placed in an insulated vessel containing 250. grams of water at 25.0 celsius.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

c) 387g

Explanation:

Water;

Mass = 250g

Specific heat = 4.184

Initial Temp, T1 = 25 + 273 = 298K

Final Temp, T2 = 35 + 273 = 308K

Heat = ?

H = mc(T2 - T1)

H = 250 * 4.184 (308 - 298)

H = 10460 J

Iron;

Initial Temp, T2 = 95 + 273 = 368K (Upon converting to kelvin temperature)

Mass = ?

Final Temp, T1 = 35 + 273 = 308

Heat = 10460 (Heat lost by iron is qual to heat gained by water)

Specific heat = 0.45

H = mc(T2-T1)

M = 10460 / [0.45 (308 - 368)]

M = 10460 / 27

M = 387g
