<u>Answer</u>:

physical property is related to the use of Activated charcoal in gas masks is Physical adsorption

<u>Explanation</u>:

Respirators in the gas masks has a 2-stage inhalation protection process . In the first step, particle filter is used that behaves like a physical barrier that removes bacteria from air which is inhaled. When the bacteria is inhaled, it gets entangled in the filter fibres preventing it from being inhaled into the lungs.

In the next stage , activated charcoal is used .This layer with highly porous charcoal attracts and binds to toxins. Through adsorption process, a solid or a liquid can trap particles on its surface. Toxins that pass through the charcoal become bonded to its surface, preventing inhalation of the toxins.

Which of the following sets are isoelectronic (i.e., have the same number of electrons)? i. Br-, Kr, Sr2+ ii. C, N-, O2- iii. Mg

il63 [147K]

Answer:

ii. $C,\ N^-,\ O^{2-}$

Explanation:

Isoelectric species are the species which have same number of electrons.

From the given options:-

$C,\ N^-,\ O^{2-}$ are the isoelectric species.

All the three species have same number of electrons which is equal to 6.

Carbon has 6 electrons.

$N^-$ has 6 electrons.

$O^{2-}$ has 6 electrons.

What is the volume of 0.640 grams of Oz gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)?

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: The volume of 0.640 grams of $O_{2}$ gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is 0.449 L.

Explanation:

Given: Mass of $O_{2}$ gas = 0.640 g

Pressure = 1.0 atm

Temperature = 273 K

As number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

So, moles of $O_{2}$ (molar mass = 32.0 g/mol) is as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{0.640 g}{32.0 g/mol}\\= 0.02 mol$

Now, ideal gas equation is used to calculate the volume as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = no. of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$PV = nRT\\1.0 atm \times V = 0.02 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 273 K\\V = 0.449 L$

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of 0.640 grams of $O_{2}$ gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is 0.449 L.
