The question can be changed into a new form:
Which element has the most negative electron affinity, or attraction for electrons? halogens have the highest electron affinities, and thus are more attracted to the electrons in the Hydrogen atom than any element in their respective periods.
In this case all the following choices are in the same period, thus Cl or Chlorine is the answer as it is a halogen.
Answer:its y
Explanation:its going down with the most force, the end of the hill is the fastest if that makes sense
Answer:
12.32 L.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g
Volume of CH4 =?
Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 8.80 g of CH4. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g
Molar mass of CH4 = 12 + (1×4) = 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol
Mole of CH4 =?
Mole = mass/Molar mass
Mole of CH4 = 8.80 / 16
Mole of CH4 = 0.55 mole.
Finally, we shall determine the volume of the gas at stp as illustrated below:
1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at stp.
Therefore, 0.55 mole of CH4 will occupy = 0.55 × 22.4 = 12.32 L.
Thus, 8.80 g of CH4 occupies 12.32 L at STP.
