When potassium forms an ion, it will carry a +1 charge because it lost its electron. Also it is in group one of the periodic table which means it will have a +1 charge.

Answer : The correct option is, (E) 7.8 atm

Explanation :

The partial pressure of $N_2$ = 8.00 atm

The partial pressure of $O_2$ = 5.00 atm

$K_p$ = 0.0025

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$N_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO(g)$

Initial pressure 8.00 5.00 0

At eqm. (8.00-x) (5.00-x) 2x

The expression of equilibrium constant $K_p$ for the reaction will be:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{NO})^2}{(p_{N_2})(p_{O_2})}$

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

$0.0025=\frac{(2x)^2}{(8.00-x)\times (5.00-x)}$

By solving the terms, we get:

$x=0.15atm$

The equilibrium partial pressure of $N_2$ = (8.00 - x) = (8.00 - 0.15) = 7.8 atm

Therefore, the equilibrium partial pressure of $N_2$ is 7.8 atm.

skad [1K]

Answer:

C. Cs < K < P

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the basically the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. The pauling scale is used to quantify electronegativity, the most electronegative element; fluorine has a value of 4.0 and francium, the least electronegative element has a value of 0.7

The electronegative values of the following elements are given as;

K = 0.82

Cs =0.79

P = 2.19

Arranging in order of increasing electronegativity, we have;

Cs < K < P. The correct option is;

C. Cs < K < P
