Answer: The correct selection is (b).

Explanation:

The energy required to detach an electron from an atom or ion in its gaseous state is termed ionization energy.

This indicates that a smaller atom necessitates a greater amount of energy to remove its valence electron. The reason for this is that there exists a strong attraction between the nucleus and the electrons in smaller atoms or elements.

Therefore, a significant amount of energy is needed to dislodge the valence electrons.

The electronic configuration for helium is 1s^{2}. Hence, due to its fully occupied valence shell, it exhibits greater stability.

Consequently, a large amount of energy is needed to remove an electron from a helium atom.

In conclusion, from the choices provided, the ionization energy of helium will be greater than that of the diatomic molecule.

A laboratory analysis of an unknown sample yields 74.0% carbon, 7.4% hydrogen, 8.6% nitrogen, and 10.0% oxygen. What is the empi
Tems11 [2777]
Assuming we have a 100g sample, the mass of each element is as follows:
C: 74 g
H: 7.4 g
N: 8.6 g
O: 10 g
Next, we calculate the moles of each by dividing the mass of each element by its molar mass:
C: (74 / 12) = 6.17
H: (7.4 / 1) = 7.4
N: (8.6 / 14) = 0.61
O: (10 / 16) = 0.625
Now, we take the smallest value to determine the ratio:
C: 10
H: 12
N: 1
O: 1
Thus, the empirical formula can be expressed as

The percent composition by mass of nitrogen in NH4OH(gram formula mass= 35 grams/mole) is equal to which of the following? A.4/3
Tems11 [2777]
Hello! The mass percent composition of nitrogen in NH₄OH is 14/35×100. To find the percent composition by mass of an element within a chemical compound, divide the atomic mass of that element (AM), which is 14 for Nitrogen, by the entire compound's molar mass (MM) and multiply that by 100. The formula for determining percent composition is as follows: Have a nice day!

Hydrogen gas has a density of 0.090 g/L, and at normal pressure and -1.72 C one mole of it takes up 22.4 L. How would you calcul
Anarel [2989]

Answer:

n= \frac{m}{ \rho }* \frac{1 mol}{22.4 L}

Explanation:

Assuming all calculations occur at standard pressure and a temperature of -1.72°C :

n= \frac{m}{ \rho }* \frac{1 mol}{22.4 L}

Where

n is the number of moles of hydrogen

n is the mass of hydrogen

\rho is the density of hydrogen

A 0.89% (w/v) sodium chloride solution is referred to as physiological saline solution because it has the same concentration of
Tems11 [2777]
1) To express 0.89% m/v, it equals 0.89 grams of NaCl per 100 ml of solution.

This corresponds to 8.9 grams of NaCl in 1000 ml of solution, or 8.9 grams in 1 liter.

2) Molarity is represented as M = moles of solute / liters of solution.

Thus, we need to determine the moles in 8.9 grams of NaCl.

3) The molar mass of NaCl is calculated as 23.0 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g/mol.

4) Therefore, the number of moles of NaCl calculates as mass / molar mass = 8.9 g / 58.5 g/mol = 0.152 moles.

5) Consequently, M = 0.152 moles of NaCl / 1 liter of solution = 0.152 M.

Answer: 0.152 M
