<u>Answer:</u> Oxygen is a non-metal.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Elements are distributed into 7 period and 18 Groups in a periodic table.

Elements are classified into three categories:

  • <u>Metals:</u> They are called as metals because they loose electrons to attain stability. These elements belong from Group 1 to group 13 of the periodic table. They are hard and are mainly solid.
  • <u>Non-metals:</u> They are called as non-metals because they gain electrons to attain stability. These elements belong from Group 15 to group 17 of the periodic table. They are soft and are mainly liquid or gases.
  • <u>Metalloids:</u> They are called as metalloids because they show properties of both metals and non-metals. These elements belong from Group 14 of the periodic table.

Oxygen belongs to Group 16 and period 2 of the periodic table.

Hence, oxygen is a non-metal.

An ideal gas in a sealed container has an initial volume of 2.65 L. At constant pressure, it is cooled to 25.00 ∘C, where its fi
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Initial temperature was: 178.3^\circ \:C

Explanation:

The Relation between the volume and temperature at constant pressure is:

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\\frac{2.65}{T_1}=\frac{1.75}{\left(25+273\right)}\\\\T_1=451.3\:K\quad\:or\:\quad 178.3^\circ\:C

What pressure will be produced when 2.0 moles of N2 gas is heated to 68oC in a container that holds 1.25 of gas?
Stella [2.4K]

The pressure of the nitrogen gas produced is determined as 44.77 atm.

<h3>What is the pressure of the Nitrogen gas?</h3>

The pressure of the nitrogen gas is determined from ideal gas equation, as shown below;

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

where;

  • n is number of moles = 2 moles
  • R is ideal gas constant = 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K
  • T is temperature = 68⁰C = 68 + 273 = 341 K
  • V is volume = 1.25 L

P = (2 x 0.08205 x 341)/(1.25)

P = 44.77 atm.

Define cation and anion. In which case are electrons gained? Lost?
inn [45]

Explanation:

A cation is a positively charged ion.

An anion is a negatively charged ion.

  • In a cation, electrons are usually lost
  • In an anion, electrons are usually gained.

In an atom, the balance between the number of protons and electrons determine whether they become an anion or cation.

Protons are positively charged particles.

Electrons are negatively charged

 When an atom gains electrons, the number of electrons becomes more than that of protons. This leaves a net negative charge on the atom and it makes an anion.

 When an atom loses electrons, the number of protons becomes more than that of electrons. This leaves a net positive charge on the atom and makes a cation.
