How will the vapor pressure of a solution compare to the pure solvent?

Answer: vapor pressure of solution will be less than that of the pure solvent

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of a liquid  is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapors  in equilibrium with the liquid/solution at a particular temperature.

So, when a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent then its molecules align at the surface of liquid. As a result, less number of solvent molecules will escape from the solution. Thus, there will be decrease in vapors and thus the vapor pressure decrease.

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=\frac{w_2M_1}{w_1M_2}

where,

p^o = vapor pressure of pure solvent

p_s = vapor pressure of solution  

w_2 = mass of solute

w_1 = mass of solvent  

M_1 = molar mass of solvent

M_2 = molar mass of solute

As you go down a family or group on the periodic table *
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The elements become less reactive.

Explanation:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction and reactivity increases because of greater electron affinity.

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased. The electron affinity decreases because of shielding effect and thus atom become less reactive.

the pressure of a sample of argon gas was increased from 2.32 atm2.32 atm to 7.16 atm7.16 atm at constant temperature. if the fi
SOVA2 [1]

initial volume of the argon sample = 5.93L according to Boyle's law

What is Boyle's law ?

Boyle's law, also known as Mariotte's law, is a relationship describing how a gas will compress and expand at a constant temperature. The pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas changes inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature, according to this empirical connection, which was established by the physicist Robert Boyle in 1662. In equation form, this means that pv = k, a constant.

According to Boyle's law

P1/V1 = P2/V2

P1 = initial pressure

P2 = final pressure

V1 =initial volume

V2= final volume

V1 = P1*V2/P2

V1 = 2.32*18.3/7.16 = 5.93L

initial volume of the argon sample = 5.93L according to Boyle's law

A gardener decides to use only part of their garden in the spring. What will most likely happen first in the unused part of the
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Growth of weeds and grasses

Explanation:

The part of the garden, probably left to rest by the Gardner, would start experiencing a legion of invasive plants. Giant weeds and grasses could be seen, and brambles and tree seedlings could also sneak in.  

Some Gardeners would recommend the use of herbicides to restore order to an abandoned garden even though certain scientists are of the opinion that chemicals may not offer a sound solution to the problem.

The heaviest element to be created by exothermic nuclear fusion is:
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The heaviest element to be created by exothermic nuclear fusion is Iron

Explanation:

Because it is the heaviest element produced during fusion without having to add energy, and it is the lightest element produced during fission without having to add energy. Energy-wise, everything in the universe wants to be iron! Iron is the most abundant element on Earth, making up 34.5 percent of Earth's mass.
