Answer:

The ans is 71.1 g/mol

Explanation:

Mass of MEK (m) = 0.599 g

Volume of MEK (V) = 258 ml = 0.258 L

Temperature (T) = 100 C = 100 +273 = 373 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Based on the ideal gas equation:

$PV = nRT$

where n = number of moles and R = gas constant 0.0821 Latm/mol-K

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

$n = \frac{1*0.258}{0.0821*373} = 0.00842 moles$

number of moles is given as:

$n = \frac{mass MEK}{molar mass MEK} \\\\molar mass = \frac{mass MEK}{n} = \frac{0.599}{0.00842} = 71.14 g/mol$

<span>Correct answer is : 72.0 g/mole If we assume Ideal Gas Law, PV = nRT. n = PV/RT = ((0.988 atm)*(0.258 L))/((0.0821 L*atm/mole*K)*(100 + 273.15)) = 0.00832 moles Molar mass = 0.599 g/0.00832 moles = 72.0 g/mole; your answer is E.</span>

Three different atoms or atomic cations with 3 electrons.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

$Li, Be^+, B^{2+}$

Explanation:

To answer this question successfully, we need to remember that atoms are neutral species, since the number of protons, the positively charged particles, is equal to the number of electrons, the negatively charged particles. That said, we may firstly find an atom which has 3 electrons (and, as a result, 3 protons, as it should be neutral).

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element. We firstly may have an atom with 3 protons and 3 electrons (atomic number of 3, this is Li).

Similarly, we may take the atomic number of 4, beryllium, and remove 1 electron from it. Upon removing an electron, it would become beryllium cation, $Be^+$ .

We may use the same logic going forward and taking the atomic number of 5. This is boron. In this case, we need to remove 2 electrons to have a total of 3 electrons. Removal of 2 electrons would yield a +2-charged cation: $B^{2+}$ .
