A diver exhales a bubble with a volume of 250 mL at a pressure of 2.4 atm and a temperature of 15 °C. What is the volume of the

alexdok [17]

Answer : The volume of the bubble is, 625 mL

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 2.4 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 1.0 atm

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 250 mL

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $15^oC=273+15=288K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $27^oC=273+27=300K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{2.4atm\times 250mL}{288K}=\frac{1.0atm\times V_2}{300K}$

$V_2=625mL$

Therefore, the volume of the bubble is, 625 mL

Fluorine (F) and bromine (Br) are in the same group on the periodic table. How do atoms of these elements compare when they form

mojhsa [17]

Answer is: Both a fluorine atom and a bromine atom gain one electron, and both atoms become stable.

Fluorine and bromine are in group 17 in Periodic table of elements. Group 17 (halogens) elements are in group 17: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I). They are very reactive and easily form many compounds.

Halogens need to gain one electron to have electron cofiguration like next to it noble gas.

Fluorine has atomic number 9, it means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons.

Fluorine tends to have eight electrons in outer shell like neon (noble gas) and gains one electron in chemical reaction.

Electron configuration of fluorine: ₉F 1s² 2s² 2p⁵.

Electron configuration of neon: ₁₀Ne 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

aksik [14]

The question requires us to draw the structural formula, provide the name and highlight any functional groups for the compound: diethyl ether.

The molecule diethyl ether can be represented as it follows, with two ethyl groups (-CH2CH3) bonded to a oxygen atom:

Note that the functional group ether (R-O-R) is present in the structre and highlighted in blue in the image. The official name of diethyl ether is ethoxyethane.
