Which atom has higher electron affinity F or I, Why?

1 answer:

8 0

Down a group, electron affinity typically decreases. This is because the atomic radius increases down a group.
Fluorine, which is higher up the group then chlorine, has a lower electron affinity. This is because the electrons in the outermost shell of a fluorine atom are closer together.
The electron gained also feels a great amount of repulsion from the electrons originally in the outermost shell. Energy is required to keep the gained electron in the shell, causing fluorine to have a smaller electron affinity than chlorine.
Hope this helps :)

Calculate the molar solubility of CaF2 at 25°C in a solution that is 0.010 M in Ca(NO3)2. The Ksp for CaF2 is 3.9 x 10-11.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$Molar \ solubility=3.12x10^{-5}M$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the dissociation of calcium fluoride:

$CaF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+2F^-$

The equilibrium expression is:

$Ksp=[Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2$

In such a way, via the ICE procedure, including an initial concentration of calcium of 0.01 M (due to the calcium nitrate solution), the reaction extent $x$ is computed as follows:

$3.9x10^{-11}=(0.01+x)(2*x)^2\\\\x=0.0000312M$

Thus, the molar solubility equals the reaction extent $x$ , therefore:

$Molar \ solubility=3.12x10^{-5}M$

Regards.

I need three examples of objects with high density and three with low density!!

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and iron(III) hydroxide.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

$Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for the reaction between aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and iron (III) hydroxide, we have the following complete molecular reaction:

$3NH_4Cl(aq)+Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow 3NH_4OH+FeCl_3$

And the full ionic equation, taking into account that the iron (III) hydroxide cannot be dissolved as it is insoluble in water:

$3NH_4^+(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)+Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow 3NH_4^+(aq)+3OH^-(aq)+Fe^{3+}(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)$

Finally, the net ionic equation, considering that spectator ions are NH₄⁺, Cl⁻ as they are both the left and right side, therefore, the net ionic equation is:

$Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)$

Best regards.

How many molecules in 9.18 moles of C11H12O22

Setler [38]

Answer:

55.3 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of C₁₁H₁₂O₂₂ = 9.18 mol

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

For given data:

9.18 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules /1 mol

55.3 × 10²³ molecules
