Electron affinities generally become more favorable (more negative) as you move from left to right across a period. However, the electron affinity for Be is less favorable than the electron affinity for Li, as shown below.
Li(g) + e + Li (9) EA = -60 kJ/mol
Be(g) + e + Be (g) EA> 0 kJ/mol
Which of the following best helps to explain why the electron affinity for Be is less favorable than the electron
affinity for Li?

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. an industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 25.0l tank with 4.5 mol of sulfur dioxide gas and 4.5 mol of oxygen gas at 30.°c. he then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.4 mol. calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen at the final temperature of the mixture. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
