Pangaea is scientifically known as the original whole mass of land that eventually was divided into separate mass entities called continents as a result to natural phenomena like earthquakes. This is more explained inthe continental drift theory. After rigorous collection of evidences, scientists noticed that fossilized plants and animals of the same species, also with the coastlines match on different continents. The answers are the first and second choices (A and B).

11. If four gases in a cylinder each exert 6 atm, what is the total pressure exerted by the

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

24 atm is the total pressure exerted by the gases

Explanation:

We propose this situation:

In a vessel, we have 4 gases (for example, hydrogen, Xe, methane and chlorine)

Each of the gases has the same pressure:

6 atm → hydrogen

6 atm → xenon

6 atm → methane

6 atm → chlorine

To determine the total pressure, we sum all of them:

Partial pressure H₂ + Partial pressure Xe + Partial pressure CH₄ + Partial pressure Cl₂ = Total P

6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm = 24atm

What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?

Kamila [148]

Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Potassium is more reactive than Krypton because it only has one valence electron.

K and Kr are both in Period 4, so they each have the n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 shells. Kr is less reactive than K because it already has a complete octet.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Krypton is more reactive than Potassium because it has a full outer shell” is incorrect because having a full outer shell means that the element is unreactive.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same group, so they have the same number of valence electrons. They have different numbers of electron shells” is incorrect for three reasons:

1. K is in Group 1 and Kr is in Group 18.

2. K has one valence electron, and Kr has eight valence electrons.

3. They have the same number of electron shells.

1. K and Kr have different numbers of valence electrons.

2. They have the same number of electron shells.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 35 and its mass number is 76?

Nastasia [14]

Formula for calculation of neutrons is Mass number - atomic number, here values are given. By putting values in formula 76-35= 41. Number of neutrons 41

Convert 22.4 kg/L to kg/mL

liberstina [14]

1 kg/L -------------- 0.001 kg/mL
22.4 kg/L --------- ??

22.4 x 0.001 / 1 => 0.0224 kg/mL

When forming a chemical bond only the blank electrons participate in the bonding process

serious [3.7K]

A chemical bond is created by either the transfer or sharing of electrons. Electrons with a missing full outer shell will be the ones participating in the bonding process. Hope this helped :)
