The answer is (4) Rb. From observation, we can find that these four elements are from first column. The melting point from top to the bottom is from high to low. So the answer is (4).

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that on moving down a group there will be decrease in melting point of the element because of increase in number of shells.

As a result, outermost electrons move away from the nucleus due to which there will be decrease in force of attraction between the protons and valence electrons. Hence, there will be decrease in melting point.

Therefore, the given elements are of same group and Rb has largest atomic size.

Thus, we can conclude that Rb has the lowest melting point.

Purpose of tanning in the leather industry is to
larisa [96]

Answer:

d) Make it flexible  

Step-by-step explanation:

Raw hides dry out to form a hard material that can decay with an offensive smell when they become wet.

Tanning converts the protein of the raw hide into a stable material that will stay flexible and not decompose when it gets wet.

a) is <em>wrong</em>. The purpose of tanning is to soften the leather.

b) is <em>wrong</em>. You smooth the leather manually with fine sandpaper.

c) is <em>wrong</em>. Tanning does not impart water resistance. It prevents the leather from putrefying when it does get wet.

Describe the properties of alkali metals. based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.
saul85 [17]

The alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.

<h3>What are the  properties of alkali metals?</h3>

The alkali metals have the high thermal and electrical conductivity. It has high lustre, ductility, and malleability as compared to other materials. Each alkali metal atom has one electron in its outermost shell which make more reactive.

So we can conclude that the alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.

Ideal He gas expanded at constant pressure of 3 atm until its volume was increased from 9 liters to 15 liters. During this proce
kkurt [141]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             P = 3 atm

                = 3 atm \times \frac{1.01325 \times 10^{5} Pa}{1 atm}  

                 = 3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa

    V_{1} = 9 L = 9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}    (as 1 L = 0.001 m^{3}),  

        V_{2} = 15 L = 15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}

            Heat energy = 800 J

As relation between work, pressure and change in volume is as follows.

                  W = P \times \Delta V

or,                W = P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                  W = P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})

                      = 3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa \times (15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3} - 9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3})

                      = 1823.85 Nm

or,                   = 1823.85 J

As internal energy of the gas \Delta E is as follows.

                     \Delta E = Q - W

                                  = 800 J - 1823.85 J

                                  = -1023.85 J

Thus, we can conclude that the internal energy change of the given gas is -1023.85 J.
