We can predict the order of the elements given above according from the highest to lowest first ionization energies by using the trends in a periodic table. For elements in a family, the ionization energy decreases as it goes down. Therefore, the correct order would be Be, Mg, Ca, Sr.

Answer:  Beryllium(Be) > Mg(Magnesium) > Ca(Calcium) > Sr(Strontium)

Explanation:   Ionization energy is defined as the energy which is used to remove an electron from the outermost shell of an element in the gaseous state.

Thus as we move down the group, we can observe that atomic mass is increasing as the number of shells are increasing, thus the outermost shell has less attraction towards the nucleus due to the shielding effect of the penultimate and anti penultimate shells.

Thus the order of the Ionization energy is found to be -

         Beryllium(Be) > Mg(Magnesium) > Ca(Calcium) > Sr(Strontium)

The rate law for the reaction
juin [17]

Explanation:

Since, the given reaction is as follows.

              2NO(g) + Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2NOCl(g)

Hence, rate law of the reaction is as follows.

               R = k[NO][Cl_{2}]

As it is known that rate of a reaction depends on the initial concentration of products. So here, the rate of reaction will depend on the concentration of NO and Cl_{2}. Since, power of the concentrations of each of these is equal to 1. Therefore, order of the reaction is equal to 1 + 1 = 2.

According to the rate law, reactants involved in the rate determining step are NO and Cl_{2}. Hence, first step of the mechanism is the rate determining step.

Also, according to the rate of reaction doubling the concentration of NO will double the rate of reaction.

The number of reactants taking part in a single step of the reaction is known as molecularity of the reaction. Therefore, molecularity of the first step of the reaction is 2.

Both the given steps are not termolecular.

A 0.50 M solution of formic acid, HCOOH, has a pH of 2.02. Calculate the percent ionization of HCOOH
kirza4 [7]

Answer is: <span>the percent ionizationof formic acid is 1,82%.
Chemical reaction: HCOOH(aq) </span>⇄ H⁺(aq) + HCOO⁻(aq).<span>
pKa(</span>HCOOH) = 3,77.

Ka(HCOOH) = 1,7·10⁻⁴.

c(HCOOH) = 0,5 M.

<span> [H</span>⁺] = [HCOO⁻] = x; equilibrium concentration.<span>
[HA] = 0,1 M - x.
Ka = [H</span>⁺] · [HCOO⁻] / [HCOOH].<span>
0,00017 = x² / 0,5 M - x.
Solve quadratic equation: x = 0,0091 M.
α = 0,0091 M ÷ 0,5 M · 100% = 1,82%.</span>
