The ionization energies for removing successive electrons from sodium are 496 kJ/mol, 4562 kJ/mol, 6912 kJ/mol, and 9544 kJ/mol. The great jump in ionization energy after the first electron is removed
indicates that
Select one:
O a. sodium has four or five electrons.
O b. the atomic radius has increased.
c. a d-electron has been removed.
d. the noble gas configuration has been reached.

D

Explanation:

The high jump of ionization energy indicates that we are trying to remove electron from noble gas configuration state.

The ionization energy data specifies that the Elements are from group 1 at period 3 or greater.

Removing the first electron require 496 kJ and the second ionization energy jump significantly due to the removal of electron from the noble gas configuration which is logical because electron try to maintain the especially stable state.

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
