Because the alkali metals are the group 1 metals, they have only 1 valence electron that they want to lose, and the halogens are the group 17 nonmetals, they want to gain 1 valence electron to become stable.
Answer : The final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm
Explanation :
Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

or,

where,
= initial pressure = 1.10 atm
= final pressure = ?
= initial temperature = 
= initial temperature = 
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:


Thus, the final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm
Sorry, but where are the ‘items’?
Answer:
45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.
Explanation:
Using Ideal gas equation for same mole of gas as
Given ,
V₁ = 25.0 L
V₂ = ?
P₁ = 2575 mm Hg
Also, P (atm) = P (mm Hg) / 760
P₁ = 2575 / 760 atm = 3.39 atm
P₂ = 1.35 atm
T₁ = 353 K
T₂ = 253 K
Using above equation as:

Solving for V₂ , we get:
<u>V₂ = 45.0 L</u>
45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.
