why is it harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon? to put it another way, why are the outermost electrons of

fluorine more tightly held by the nucleus than those of carbon?

It is harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon because the size of the nuclear charge in fluorine is larger than that of carbon.

The energy required to remove an electron from an atom is called ionization energy.

The ionization energy largely depends on the size of the nuclear charge. The larger the size of the nuclear charge, the higher the ionization energy because it will be more difficult to remove an electron from the atom owing to increased electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and orbital electrons.

Since fluorine has a higher size of the nuclear charge than carbon. More energy is required to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon leading to the observation that;  it is harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon.

How do you know the ph level of 10^-8
sergiy2304 [10]

pH=6.98

Explanation:

This is a very interesting question because it tests your understanding of what it means to have a dynamic equilibrium going on in solution.

As you know, pure water undergoes self-ionization to form hydronium ions, H3O+, and hydroxide anions, OH−.

2H2O(l]⇌H3O+(aq]+OH−(aq]→ very important!

At room temperature, the value of water's ionization constant, KW, is equal to 10−14. This means that you have

KW=[H3O+]⋅[OH−]=10−14

Since the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal for pure water, you will have

[H3O+]=√10−14=10−7M

The pH of pure water will thus be

pH=−log([H3O+])

pH=−log(10−7)=7

Now, let's assume that you're working with a 1.0-L solution of pure water and you add some 10

If a car can go from 0 to 60 mi/hr in 8.0 seconds, what would be its final speed after 5.0 seconds if its starting speed were 50
tangare [24]

Answer:

87.5 mi/hr

Explanation:

Because a = Δv / Δt (a = vf - vi/ Δt), we need to find the acceleration first to know the change in velocity so we can determine the final velocity.

vf = 60 mi/hr

vi = 0 mi/hr

Δt = 8 secs

a = vf - vi/ Δt

= 60 mi/hr - 0 mi/hr/ 8 secs

= 60 mi/hr / 8 secs

= 7.5 mi/hr^2

Now that we know the acceleration of the car is 7. 5 mi/hr^2, we can substitute it in the acceleration formula to find the final velocity when the initial velocity is 50 mi/hr after 5 secs.

vi = 50 mi/ hr

Δt = 5 secs

a = 7.5 mi/ hr^2

a = vf - vi/ Δt

7.5 = vf - 50 mi/hr / 5 secs

37.5 = vf - 50

87.5 mi/ hr = vf

A certain system absorbs 350 joules of heat and has 230 joules of work done on it what is the value of
marysya [2.9K]
According to the law of conservation of mass, the amount of BARIUM present of the reactants is the same as the amount present in the products (the precipitate). 

(11.21 g BaSO4) / (233.4 g/mol BaSO4) = 0.0480 mol BaSO4 and original barium salt 

(10.0 g) / (0.0480 mol) = 208.3 g/mol 

So it must have been BaCl2, because the molar mass of Barium is 137 which leave 71 grams left. Since Barium is a +2 charge, it means the atom next to it must be twice. Chlorine mass is 35, which twice is 71
