Because matter cannot be created or destroyed
Answer:
only chlorine can expand its octet.
Explanation:
An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital
the electronic configuration of given elements will be:
B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell
Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.
E.g. in H3PO4 (O, -2).
8. The sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a species must be equal to net charge on the species. e.g. Net Charge of HClO4 = 0, i.e. [+1(H)+7(Cl)-2<span>*4(O)] = 0.</span>
Answer:
82.97 K
Explanation:
Applying,
PV/T = P'V'/T'................ Equation 1
Where P = initial pressure, T = Initial temperature, V = Initial Volume, P' = Final pressure, V' = Final Volume, T' = Final Temperature.
Make T' the subject of formula in equation 1
T' = P'V'T/PV................ Equation 2
From the question,
Given: P = 877 mmHg = (877×0.001316) atm = 1.154 atm, T = 222.2 K, V = 7.9 L, P' = 0.327 atm, V' = 10.41 L
Substitute these values into equation 2
T' = (0.327×10.41×222.2)/(1.154×7.9)
T' = 82.97 K
Hence the new temperature is 82.97 K
