Electron affinity is a measure of the tendency of a neutral atom  to gain electrons and form a negative ion. It can be represented by a general equation:

X + e- → X-

The value of electron affinity decreases on moving down a group. This is because on moving down a group the atomic size increases as a result the added electron feels less pull or attraction towards the nucleus.

In group 14, Carbon 'C' is the first member and therefore will have the highest electron affinity.

Ans : A) Carbon

A 85.2 g copper bar was heated to 221.32 degrees Celsius and placed in a coffee cup calorimeter containing 4250 mL of water at 2
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:- 64015 J

Solution: There is 4250 mL of water in the calorimeter at 22.55 degree C.

density of water is 1 g per mL.

So, the mass of water = 4250mL(\frac{1g}{1mL})  = 4250 g

Final temperature of water after adding the hot copper bar to it is 26.15 degree C.

So, \Delta T for water = 26.15 - 22.55 = 3.60 degree C

Specific heat for water is 4.184 \frac{J}{g.^0C}

The heat gained by water is calculated by using the formula:

q=mc\Delta T

where, q is the heat energy, m is mass and c is specific heat.

Let's plug in the values in the formula and do the calculations:

q=4250g*\frac{4.184J}{g.^0C}*3.60^0C

q = 64015 J

So, 64015 J of heat is gained by the water.

Are the strengths of the interactions between the particles in the solute and between the particles in the solvent before the so
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Less than

Explanation:

The process of dissolution occurs as a kind of "tug of war". On one side are the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interaction forces, while on the other side are the solute-solvent forces.

Only when the solute-solvent forces are strong enough to overcome the pre-mixing forces do they overcome the "tug of war", and thus dissolution occurs.

Thus, it is concluded that the interaction forces between solute particles and solvent particles before they are combined are less than the interaction forces after dissolution.

Write the balanced Ka and Kb reactions for HSO3- in water. Be sure to include the physical states of each species involved in th
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Ka = [H₃O⁺] [SO₃²⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]

Kb = [OH⁻] [H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃⁻]

Explanation:

An amphoteric substance as HSO₃⁻ is a substance that act as either an acid or a base. When acid:

HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq)

And Ka, the acid dissociation constant is:

<h3>Ka = [H₃O⁺] [SO₃²⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]</h3><h3 />

When base:

HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + H₂SO₃(aq)

And kb, base dissociation constant is:

<h3>Kb = [OH⁻] [H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃⁻]</h3>
