Which electron shell in an atom of calcium in the ground state

1 answer:

7 0

When calcium forms an ion, it loses its two valence electrons and becomes a calcium ion with a 2+ charge. In that case the highest energy level occupied by the calcium ion's electrons in its ground state would be the third energy level.

How many moles of neon would be contained in 4.0 l of neon gas at 2 atm and 127oc?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

If the pressure, volume, and temperature are 202650 Pa, 0.004 cubic meters, and 400.15 K. Then the number of the mole is 0.24 mol.

<h3>What is thermodynamics?</h3>

It is a branch of science that deals with heat and work transfer.

We know that the Ideal gas equation is given as

PV = nRT

Where

P = Pressure (Pa)

V = Volume (in m³)

n = Number of moles (mol)

R = universal gas constant (8.314 J⋅K⁻¹⋅mol⁻¹)

T = temperature (in K)

We have

P = 2 atm = 202.65 × 10³ Pa

V = 4 liters = 0.004 m³

T = 127 °C = 400.15 K

Then we have

Then the number of the mole will be

$\rm n = \dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\\\n = \dfrac{202.65 \times 10^3 \times 0.004}{8.314 \times 400.15}\\\\\\n = \dfrac{810.6}{3326.85}\\\\\\n = 0.24365 \approx 0.24$
