Answer : The pressure of the helium gas is, 1269.2 mmHg
Explanation :
To calculate the pressure of the gas we are using ideal gas equation:
where,
P = Pressure of gas = ?
V = Volume of gas = 210. mL = 0.210 L (1 L = 1000 mL)
n = number of moles = 0.0130 mole
R = Gas constant =
T = Temperature of gas =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Conversion used : (1 atm = 760 mmHg)
Thus, the pressure of the helium gas is, 1269.2 mmHg
The melting point of potassium =
Melting point of titanium =
Titanium has a stronger metallic bonding compared to potassium. Titanium being a transition metal has greater number of valence electrons (4 valence electrons) contributing to the valence electron sea compared to potassium which has only one valence electron. The atomic size of Titanium much lower than that of potassium, so the bonding between Titanium atoms is stronger than that of potassium. Hence, the melting point of Titanium is much higher than that of potassium.
