What is the general trend for electron affinity values going across a period?

increase.

Explanation:

as you cross the period the atomic size decrease makes the atoms to have more affinity to the coming electrons.

weight of any object is given by

w = m*g

where m is mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for earth the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2 so

w=117.6 n m=12 g=?

117.6=12g => g=9.8 m/s^2

which is the force of gravity on earth.
