Alkali metals tend to be more reactive than alkaline earth metals because __________.

The aluminum element has the electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p¹.

A neutral atom can be defined as one in which the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons ( negative charge ). The overall electric charge of a neutral atom is zero. Therefore, this kind of atom is called a neutral atom.

For a neutral atom, we generally say that the number of electrons should be equal to the number of protons. All chemical elements placed in the periodic table are in a neutral state.

The given electronic configuration has 13 electrons. The number of electrons in the valence shell is three so the element belongs to group 13 and the valence electron is filled in their electron shell so it is the element of the third period.

We know that the aluminum element has an atomic number of 13. Therefore, the given electronic configuration belongs to a neutral atom of the aluminum element.

Ok, lets see the definitions of percent yield, actual yield and theoretical yield.

Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield.

Actual yield- amount of product produced in the EXPERIMENT.

Theoretical yield- max amount of product produced through CALCULATIONS

% yield= actual yield (from experiment)/theoretical yield (from calculation) *100

1st Step: Write the reaction 

H2 + Br2 --> 2 HBr

2nd Step: Get the mass ratio of H2 and HBr to find theoretical yield

1 mole H2 gives 2 moles HBr ( molar mass of H2= 2 g/mol, HBr= 81 g/mol)

2 g H2 gives 2*81= 162 g HBr

30 g H2 gives 162*30/2 = 2430 g HBr ( The equation is 2 g H2/ 30 gH2= 162 g HBr/ x g HBr)

So theoretically 2430 g HBr are produced by calculation ( THEORETICAL YIELD)

By experiment 85 g HBr are produced as it is given at the question ( ACTUAL YIELD)

% yield= actual yield / theoretical yield *100 = 85/2430 *100= 3.5 %

The percent yield is 3.5 %.

Final answer:

The typical ion formed by aluminum (Al), a group 3a metal, is the cation Al³+, due to the loss of its three valence electrons upon reaction.

Explanation:

The ion that aluminum (Al), which is a group 3a metal, typically forms is Al³+, an aluminum ion. This is because aluminum falls under group 13 of the periodic table and has the valence shell electron configuration of ns²np¹. When aluminum reacts, it tends to lose all three of its valence electrons, resulting in compounds with an oxidation state of 3+. This is observed in both covalent compounds and ionic compounds like AlF3 and Al₂(SO4)3. In aqueous solutions, aluminum ions are typically found as [Al(H₂O)6]³+, commonly abbreviated as Al³+ (aq).

1144000 cal is the quantity of heat is needed  to warm 52 kg of water by 22 [tex]\rm ^oC[/tex] for bath.

Heat is the energy that spontaneously transfers between systems or things as a result of temperature changes in chemistry. Conduction, convection, or radiation are all possible methods of transmission. Temperature changes result through heat exchange, which frequently occurs during chemical reactions. The rate of reactions, phase transitions, and general system behaviour are all strongly influenced by this thermal energy transfer. Understanding the dynamic behaviour of matter at the molecular level requires an understanding of heat, which can be measured in quantities like joules or calories.

To warm 52 kg of water by 22°C, we must first convert the mass of water to grams and then apply the specific heat of water formula. Calculating through gives us 4,787,776 joules, but requested in calories, we convert the joules to give approximately 1,144,591.5 calories of heat energy.

The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g °C. When we translate this into more understandable terms, it means that it takes 4.184 joules of energy to raise one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Now, to find out how much heat is needed to warm your volume of water, we must use the specific heat equation: Q = mcΔT, where 'Q' is the heat energy, 'm' is the mass of the substance being heated (in this case, water), 'c' is the specific heat of the substance, and 'ΔT' is the change in temperature.

Now all we do is substitute the relevant values into the equation: Q = 52,000g * 4.184 J/g°C * 22°C. The g (grams) cancel out, as do the °C (degrees C), leaving us with Q = 4,787,776 joules. However, you wished to express the answer in calories. To convert from joules to calories, we must remember that 1 cal = 4.184 J. So, Q = 4,787,776 / 4.184 = 1,144,591.5 cal.

Thus, you would need approximately 1,144,591.5 calories of heat energy to warm 52 kg of water by 22°C for your bath.

In atomic physics, the energy of the emitted photon when an electron transitions from one energy level to another is given by the Rydberg formula:

[tex]\[ E = h \cdot f = R \cdot \left( \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right) \][/tex] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( f \) is the frequency of the emitted photon, \( R \) is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen, \( n_f \) is the final energy level, and \( n_i \) is the initial energy level.

The energy of the photon is directly proportional to the frequency of the light emitted, and the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light. Therefore, the greater the energy difference between the two levels, the higher the frequency of the emitted light and the more energy the light carries.

 Let's calculate the energy released for each transition:

[tex]A. \( n=5 \) to \( n=1 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ E_{5 \to 1} = R \cdot \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{5^2} \right) = R \cdot \left( 1 - \frac{1}{25} \right) = R \cdot \frac{24}{25} \][/tex]

 B. [tex]\( n=4 \) to \( n=5 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ E_{4 \to 5} = R \cdot \left( \frac{1}{5^2} - \frac{1}{4^2} \right) = R \cdot \left( \frac{1}{25} - \frac{1}{16} \right) = R \cdot \left( -\frac{9}{400} \right) \][/tex]

(Note: This transition actually absorbs energy, as the electron moves to a higher energy level.)

C.[tex]\( n=2 \) to \( n=5 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ E_{2 \to 5} = R \cdot \left( \frac{1}{5^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} \right) = R \cdot \left( \frac{1}{25} - \frac{1}{4} \right) = R \cdot \left( -\frac{21}{100} \right) \][/tex]

(Again, this transition absorbs energy.)

 D. [tex]\( n=5 \) to \( n=4 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ E_{5 \to 4} = R \cdot \left( \frac{1}{4^2} - \frac{1}{5^2} \right) = R \cdot \left( \frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{25} \right) = R \cdot \frac{9}{400} \][/tex]

 Comparing the magnitudes of the energy changes, it is clear that the transition from \( n=5 \) to \( n=1 \) releases the most energy because it has the largest difference in energy levels. This corresponds to the largest absolute value of the energy change, which means it will give off the most light energy.

The electron, through the formation of chemical bonds, is the subatomic particle responsible for holding atoms together, which allows for the creation of new substances.

The subatomic particle specifically responsible for holding atoms together to form new substances is the electron. Atoms are joined to one another through chemical bonds which involve the sharing or exchange of electrons between atoms. As atoms come together, these interactions give rise to molecules with distinct properties, transforming reactants into products during a chemical reaction. Hence, while protons determine the identity of an element, electrons are key to the formation of molecules and compounds, the building blocks of matter.

To determine the molar mass of metal 'M', calculate the moles of AgCl formed using its molar mass, derive the moles of Cl in MCl2 from this, and calculate the mass of 1 mol of MCl2. Afterwards, rearrange the formula to compute the molar mass of M.

To calculate the molar mass of metal (M), we are given that 3.60 g of AgCl is equivalent to 1.59 g of MCl2. From the periodic table, we know that the molar mass of AgCl is 143.3 g/mol and that of Cl is 35.45 g/mol.

Firstly, we need to calculate the moles of AgCl formed, that is 3.60 g / 143.3 g/mol = 0.0251 mol.

Each mole of AgCl produced comes from one mole of Cl. Moles of Cl in MCl2 = 0.0251 mol * 2 = 0.0502 mol. We multiply by 2 because each formula unit of MCl2 contains 2 Cl atoms. Hence, 1.59 g of MCl2 contains = 0.0502 mol of Cl.

So, the mass of 1 mol of MCl2 = (Molar mass of M + 2 * Molar mass of Cl). From this we can determine the molar mass of M = (Mass of 1 mol MCl2 – 2 * Molar mass of Cl) = (1.59 g / 0.0502 mol) - (2 * 35.45 g/mol) = approximately 36.82 g/mol.

To convert 1.00 kg of 235U into energy, about 9.14 × 10^-4 kg of rest mass is converted.

The energy released in the fission of a 235U nucleus is about 200 MeV. To find out how much rest mass is converted to energy, we need to calculate the number of 235U atoms in 1.00 kg. One mole of 235U has a mass of 235.04 grams, so there are 4.25 moles of 235U in 1.00 kg. Using Avogadro's number (6.02 × 10^23 U/mol), we can calculate that there are 2.56 × 10^24 atoms of 235U in 1.00 kg. The total energy released is the number of atoms times the given energy per U fission, which is:

(2.56 × 10^24 atoms)(200 MeV/atom) = 5.12 × 10^26 MeV

To convert this to kilograms, we can use the conversion factor 1 MeV = 1.783 × 10^-30 kg, so:

(5.12 × 10^26 MeV)(1.783 × 10^-30 kg/MeV) = 9.14 × 10^-4 kg

Therefore, about 9.14 × 10^-4 kg of rest mass is converted to energy in this fission.

Dissolving the solid tablet in water is a physical change as the chemical composition of the substance doesn't change.

A physical change can be described as a change that occurs when some of the features of the matter change but the identity does not. Physical changes are dived into categories as reversible and irreversible. For example, the melting of ice is a reversible physical change as the melted ice can be refrozen.

Physical change can be described as a kind of change where only the physical properties of a substance such as color, odor, solubility, etc. can undergo change. During physical changes, no chemical bonds between atoms in the substance are broken or formed.

The chemical composition as well as the nature of matter remains unchanged during a physical change.  The molecules of the substance can be rearranged without changing the internal composition.

Dissolving the solid tablet in water can not change the chemical composition of the tablet while the carbon tablet undergoes a chemical reaction with water and produce carbon dioxide.

Final answer:

The question is about the chemical process of a solid dissolving in water, known as dissolution. Factors like stirring, temperature, and surface area can affect the rate of dissolution, with practical applications observed in dissolving salt or sugar.

Explanation:

The process of a solid tablet dissolving in water is a chemical phenomenon where the solid substance breaks down and disperses throughout the liquid, forming a homogeneous solution. This is termed dissolution. The rate of dissolution can be influenced by several factors, such as stirring, temperature, and the surface area of the solid. To illustrate, consider the dissolution of table salt (NaCl) in water, which breaks apart into its constituent sodium and chloride ions, each surrounded by water molecules.

The faster dissolution of granulated sugar compared to sugar cubes in tea serves as a practical example of how surface area affects dissolution rates. Heating can also accelerate the process, as seen when a solute dissolves more quickly in hot water.

In experiments such as adding an effervescent tablet to a balloon over a test tube of water, we can observe not only dissolution but also possibly a chemical reaction releasing gas, which inflates the balloon. To further understand these processes, students might perform exercises such as determining mass before and after dissolution or crystallization practices that involve the careful addition and heating of solvents to dissolve solids.

Based on the figure, Neon has an atomic number of 10 and a Mass number of 20.18. We must take note that the atomic number is equal to the number of protons, while the Mass number is equal to the number of protons PLUS neutrons, so:

number of protons = 10

protons + neutrons = 20.18

hence,

10 + neutrons = 20.18

number of neutrons = 10.18

A neutron can be a considered as a whole single atom so it cannot have a decimal. The only way that the number of neutrons is fractions is only when it is a combination of isotopes. So the answer is:

Yes, Neon has isotopes
