Because of extra electrons

All other atoms have less stable electron numbers, so they react with each other and share electrons to be more stable. The most reactive elements tend to be short one or two electron or have one or two extra electrons.

A large balloon is initially filled to a volume of 25.0 L at 353 K and a pressure of 2575 mm Hg. What volume of gas will the bal

bija089 [108]

Answer:

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.

Explanation:

Using Ideal gas equation for same mole of gas as

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = 25.0 L

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 2575 mm Hg

Also, P (atm) = P (mm Hg) / 760

P₁ = 2575 / 760 atm = 3.39 atm

P₂ = 1.35 atm

T₁ = 353 K

T₂ = 253 K

Using above equation as:

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

$\frac{{3.39}\times {25.0}}{353}=\frac{{1.35}\times {V_2}}{253}$

$\frac{1.35V_2}{253}=\frac{3.39\times \:25}{353}$

Solving for V₂ , we get:

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.
