Answer: Cesium (Cs)

Explanation:

Elements lose or gain electrons in their valence shell so as to maintain stability by either forming duplets or octet configuration. I.e 2 electrons in its outer shell to form duplet or 8 in its outer shell to form octet configurations. All metals with exception of Metalloids lose electrons in its outer shell corresponding to its group number to form stability. I.e group 1 elements lose 1 electrons to form stability, group two elements lose 2 electrons, group 3 and so on. From the elements listed above, Cesium is a group 1 element and it will require to lose 1 electron so as to form stability. Magnesium (Mg) loses 2 electrons to form stability, Fluorine (F) a non metal from group (vii) requires 1 electron to be stable and boron a group (v) element would need 3 electrons to form stability.

A neutral atom becomes a positive ion when it
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Neutral atoms can be turned into positively charged ions by removing one or more electrons.

Explanation:

If there is an atom that has 9 protons and 9 electrons, removing an electron from the atom will gain a postive charge.

A bulb is found to weigh 5.76 grams more when filled with air at 298 K and 1.00 atmosphere pressure than when it is evacuated. W
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Subtract water vapor pressure from total pressure to get partial pressure of gas A: PA=1.03 atm- 1 atm=0.03 atm.

What is the total pressure of the gases at 298 K?

98.8 kPa

A sample of nitrogen gas is bubbled through water at 298 K and the volume collected is 250 mL. The total pressure of the gas, which is saturated with water vapour, is found to be 98.8 kPa at 298 K.

The total pressure of a mixture of gases can be defined as the sum of the pressures of each individual gas: Ptotal=P1+P2+… +Pn. + P n . The partial pressure of an individual gas is equal to the total pressure multiplied by the mole fraction of that gas.

How do you find the partial pressure of water in air?

e is vapor pressure Rv = R∗/Mv = 461.5Jkg−1K−1 and Mv = 18.01gmol−1, ϵ = Mv/Md = 0.622. The vapor pressure is the partial pressure of the water vapor. where es is in Pascals and T is in Celsius.

ExpHow do you find the pressure of h2?

For the high pressures in which hydrogen gas is often stored, the van der Waals equation can be used. It is P+a(n/V)^2=nRT. For diatomic hydrogen gas, a=0.244atm L^2/mol^2 and b=0.0266L/mol.lanation:

If the solubility of a gas is 10.5 g/L at 525 kPa pressure, what is the solubility of the gas when the pressure is 225 kPa? Show
Talja [164]

Answer:

4.5 g/L.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we must mention Henry's law.
  • Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
  • It can be expressed as: P = KS,

P is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution.

K is the Henry's law constant,

S is the solubility of the gas.

  • At two different pressures, we have two different solubilities of the gas.

<em>∴ P₁S₂ = P₂S₁.</em>

P₁ = 525.0 kPa & S₁ = 10.5 g/L.

P₂ = 225.0 kPa & S₂ = ??? g/L.

∴ S₂ = P₂S₁/P₁ = (225.0 kPa)(10.5 g/L) / (525.0 kPa) = 4.5 g/L.
