B. eight valence electrons.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an atom's octet or shell is filled then the atom becomes stable. Therefore, the atom will be very less reactive as it does not need more electrons to fill its shell.

For example, neon has atomic number 10 and electron distribution in its shells is 2, 8. As there are 8 electrons in its valence shell this means that it has attained stability according to the octet rule. Hence, it will be least reactive.

Thus, we can conclude that atoms of the LEAST reactive elements tend to have eight valence electrons.

A steel tank contains carbon dioxide at a pressure of 13.0 atm when the temperature is 34oC. What will be the internal gas press
morpeh [17]

Answer:

D. 15.8atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial pressure = 13atm

Initial temperature  = 34°C = 34 + 273  = 307K

Final temperature  = 100°C = 100 + 273  = 373K

Unknown:

Final pressure  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply a derivation of the combined gas law taking the volume as a constant.

The expression is shown mathematically below;

        \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }   = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }

P and T pressure and temperature values

1 and 2 are initial and final states

 Insert the parameters and solve for T₂;

    \frac{13}{307}   = \frac{P_{2} }{373}  

        P₂  = 15.8atm

An unknown aqueous metal analysis yielded a detector response of 0.255. When 1.00 mL of a solution containing 100.0 ppm of the m
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal

Explanation:

Based on Lambert-Beer law, the increasing in signal of a detector is directly proportional to its concentration.

The unknown concentration (X) produces a signal of 0.255

99mL * X + 1mL * 100ppm / 100mL produces a signal of 0.502

0.99X + 1ppm produce 0.502, thus, X is:

0.255 * (0.99X + 1 / 0.502) =

X = 0.503X + 0.508

0.497X = 0.508

X =

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal

Using words, explain all steps of dimensional analysis when converting 6.7 hectometers to meters. You must explain the set up of
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

  • See below

Explanation:

In order to convert 6.7 hectometers to meters using dimensional analysis, you must use the ratio of hectometers to meters.

There are 100 meters in one hectometer, then you start setting the equality: 100 m = 1 hm.

Dividing both sides by 1 hm you get the fraction form of the ratio, with meters (m) in the numerator and hectometers (hm) in the denominator.

              1m/100hm

Since hm is in the numerator, when you multiply 6.7 hm by the unit ratio the hm will be canceled and the result will have only m:

            6.7hm\times 1m/100hm=0.067m
