Answer is: Cl and Na.

sodium and chlorine are in third period and they have very different properties. Sodium is solid metal and chlorine is gaseous nonmetal.

They form compound NaCl (Sodium chloride), because sodium lost one valence electron and form cation Na⁺, chlorine gain one electron and form anion Cl⁻.

Electron configuration of sodium atom: ₁₁Na 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹.

Electron configuration of chlorine atom: ₁₇Cl 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.

Other examples are metal-metal pairs and they do not form cation and anion.

The cycle repeats when the carbon stored in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas is taken in.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Order of the cycle:

Step -1>>>>Step -4 >>>> Step -3 >>>>> step -2.

Explanation:

Step -1:

Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants during photosynthesis.

Step -4;

The animal eats a plant and uses its carbohydrates for energy.

Step - 3

The animal releases the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere during respiration.

Step -2

The cycle repeats when the carbon stored in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas is taken in.

Therefore, order of the cycle is Step -1>>>>Step -4 >>>> Step -3 >>>>> step -2.

1.6x10^23 lead atoms. Find the weight in grams

Ber [7]

Moles of lead(Pb) = 1.6x10^23/6.02x10^23 = 0.265 moles.

Weight of lead = moles x atomic weight of lead
= 0.265x207.2
= 54.908 grams.

Hope this helps!

if 0.0203 g of a gas dissolves in 1.39 l of water at 1.02 atmospheres at what pressure (in atm) would you be able to dissolve 0.

Sergeu [11.5K]

First, we need to get n1 (no.of moles of water ): when

mass of water = 0.0203 g and the volume = 1.39 L

∴ n1 = mass / molar mass of water

= 0.0203g / 18 g/mol
= 0.00113 moles

then we need to get n2 (no of moles of water) after the mass has changed:

when the mass of water = 0.146 g

n2 = mass / molar mass

= 0.146g / 18 g/ mol
= 0.008 moles

so by using the ideal gas formula and when the volume is not changed:

So, P1/n1 = P2/n2

when we have P1 = 1.02 atm

and n1= 0.00113 moles

and n2 = 0.008 moles

so we solve for P2 and get the pressure

∴P2 = P1*n2 / n1

=1.02 atm *0.008 moles / 0.00113 moles

= 7.22 atm

∴the new pressure will be 7.22 atm

Answers:

1) Breaking Solvent-Solvent Attractions is an Endothermic Process.

2) Breaking Solute-Solute Attractions is an Endothermic Process.

3) Forming Solute-Solvent Attractions is an Exothermic Process.

Explanation:
When a solute is dissolved in solvent it either releases heat or absorbs heat depending upon the the interactions broken and interactions formed. At first, the solvent solvent interactions are broken , this process requires heat which is provided either from external source or is provided by the forming of solute solvent bond forming process which is exothermic.

When the solvent molecules get apart the solute particles enter to form interactions with elimination of heat. So, if the heat required to break solvent solvent interactions is greater than the heat provided by solute solvent interactions formation then the solute will not dissolve at room temperature and vice versa.
