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.

A sample of gas has a volume of 100. L at 17 °C and 800. torr. To what temperature must the gas be cooled in order for its volum
Romashka [77]

Answer:

108.81 K

Explanation:

First convert 17 °C to Kelvin:

  • 17 + 273.16 = 290.16 K

Assuming ideal behaviour, we can solve this problem by using the<em> combined gas law</em>, which states that at constant composition:

  • P₁V₁T₂=P₂V₂T₁

Where in this case:

  • P₁ = 800 torr
  • V₁ = 100 L
  • T₂ = ?
  • P₂ = 600 torr
  • V₂ = 50 L
  • T₁ = 290.16 K

We <u>input the data</u>:

  • 800 torr * 100 L * T₂ = 600 torr * 50 L * 290.16 K

And <u>solve for T₂</u>:

  • T₂ = 108.81 K

A 0.0884 M solution of a weak base has a pH of 11.79. What is the identity of the weak base?Weak Base KbEthylamine (CH3CH2NH2) 4
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The base must be ethylamine.

Explanation:

The pH of solution of a weak base gives us an idea about the Kb of the base.

pOH=14-pH

pOH=14-11.79=2.21

pOH=-log[OH^{-}]

[OH^{-}]=0.0062M

The relation between Kb and hydroxide ion concentration is:

Kb=\frac{[OH^{-}]^{2}}{[base]}

Kb=\frac{0.0062X0.0062}{0.0884}=4.34X10^{-4}

Thus the weak base must be ethylamine.
