Answer:
As you move across a period the electrons are being added to the same shell. But, protons are being added as well. This makes the nucleus more positively charged and, increasing protons has a greater effect than electrons. So, there is a greater nuclear attraction and, because the electrons are being added to the same shell that shell gets pulled in more. This causes a decrease in atomic radius.
Explanation:
So this is p1 over t1 = p2 over t2. So you do 880/250=x/303 and then cross multiply and divide
Using dimensional analysis, we can find the moles of strontium by comparing the mass of strontium to it's atomic mass.
You can find the atomic mass of Sr on the periodic table:
Atomic Mass Sr = 87.62g/mol
In case you are not familiar, dimensional analysis works like this:
(what we know) x (conversion factor) = what we are looking for
The conversion factor compares the units of what we know to the units of what we are looking for. In this case, the conversion factor is:
1 mol/87.62g
The important thing to note about the conversion factor is that you want to be able to cancel out the units of your given measurement (in this case, it is the mass)
So, our full solution will be:
moles Sr = (175.24 g)x(1 mol/87.62 g)
(cancel out the mass units)
moles Sr = 175.24 x 1 mol/87.62
= 2.00 mol Sr
Hope this helped you!
