Explanation:

The ionization energy is the energy required to remove electrons in an atom. The valence electrons are the easiest to remove and they require little energy compared to inner electrons.

A lot of factors are responsible for the different values of ionization energy. The outermost electrons in a shell are most loosely held and they require little energy to be removed. This is the first ionization energy.

Some factors determines ionization energy:

  • Nuclear charge is directly proportional to ionization energy
  • Atomic radius - the larger the radius of an atom, the smaller the I.E because of the increased shielding/screening effect of inner shell electrons on the electron to be removed from the nuclear attraction.
  • The more penetrating into the nucleus, a sublevel accommodating the electron is the higher the I.E.

From this, we see why Cesium has a lower first ionization energy than rubidium.

Cesium has a higher atomic radius compared to rubidium.

Both elements belong to Group I called the alkali metals.

The nucleoside adenosine exists in a protonated form with a pKa of 3.8. The percentage of the protonated form at pH 4.8 is close
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Ok:

Explanation:

So, you can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for this:

pH = pKa + log(A^-/HA) where A- is the conjugate base of the acid. In other words, A- is the deprotonated form and HA is the protonated.

We can solve that

1 = log(A^-/HA\\) and so 10 = A^-/HA or 10HA = A-.  For every 1 protonated form of adenosine (HA), there are 10 A-. So, the percent in the protonated form will be 1(1+10) or 1/11 which is close to 9 percent.

A block of aluminum weighing 140 g is cooled from 98.4°C to 62.2°C with the release of 1080 joules of heat. From this data, calc
GrogVix [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

Specific heat of a substance is the value that describe how the added heat energy of substance has the impact on its temperature.

Unit is <em>(\frac {J}{Kg.K})</em>

<em>C = Q/m. ∆T</em>

<em>C – Specific heat (\frac {J}{Kg.K})</em>

<em>Q- heat energy (J)</em>

<em>M – Mass (Kg)</em>

<em>∆T- change in temperature (K) </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Given data:</em>

<em>M= 140 g = 0.14 Kg</em>

<em>Q – 1080 Joules.</em>

<em>∆T – 98.4 – 62.2 = 36.2</em>

Substituting  the given data in Equation

<em>Specific heat of Aluminium  = \frac {1080}{(0.14 \times 36.2)} = 213.10 (\frac {J}{Kg.K})</em>

If the speed of a vehicle increases by 22%, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase?
Mila [183]

Answer:

The kinetic increases by 48.84 %

Explanation:

The expression for the kinetic energy is:-

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times mv^2

Where, m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

Let the new velocity is:- v'

v is increased by 22 %. Thus, v' = 1.22 v

So, the new kinetic energy is:-

K.E.'=\frac{1}{2}\times mv'^2=\frac{1}{2}\times m{1.22}^2=\frac{1}{2}\times mv^21.4884=1.4884K.E.

<u>Thus, the kinetic increases by 48.84 %</u>

What is the density of a piece of metal in g/cm3 if its mass is determined to be 42.20 g and it is in the shape of a cube, with
maria [59]
It's a cube so the volume = edge^3
Volume = 2.5^3 cm^3 = 15.625 cm^3

density = mass / volume = 42.20 / 15.625 = 2.70 You have 3 places of accuracy.

density of object = 2.70 grams / cm^3 <<<<=== answer.

The heat of fusion for ice is 334 joules per gram. Adding 334 joules of heat to one gram of ice at STP will
yulyashka [42]

C) change to water at the same temperature

Explanation:

Adding 334Joules of heat to one gram of ice at STP will cause ice to change to water at the same temperature.

  • The heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed to melt a given mass of a solid
  • It is also conversely the amount of energy removed from a substance to freeze it.
  • The addition of this energy does not cause a decrease or increase in temperature.
  • Only a phase change occurs.
