Explanation:

A substance is able to conduct electricity if it has or contains free electrons.

This also means that larger is the atomic radius of a metal lesser will the force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons. As a result, it can easily lose its valence electrons.

Therefore, availability of free electrons is easy in that case.

Also, more is the number of valence electrons a metal contains more is the number of electrons participating in conducting electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that a combination of more valence electrons and larger atomic radius factors is most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals.

Answer : The volume of $CO_2$ will be, 514.11 ml

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HCO_3^-+HCl\rightarrow Cl^-+H_2O+CO_2$

First we have to calculate the mass of $HCO_3^-$ in tablet.

$\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-\text{ in tablet}=32.5\% \times 3.79g=\frac{32.5}{100}\times 3.79g=1.23175g$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $HCO_3^-$ .

Molar mass of $HCO_3^-$ = 1 + 12 + 3(16) = 61 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }HCO_3^-=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-}{\text{Molar mass of }HCO_3^-}=\frac{1.23175g}{61g/mole}=0.0202moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $CO_2$ .

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $HCO_3^-$ react to give 1 mole of $CO_2$

So, 0.0202 mole of $HCO_3^-$ react to give 0.0202 mole of $CO_2$

The moles of $CO_2$ = 0.0202 mole

Now we have to calculate the volume of $CO_2$ by using ideal gas equation.

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1.00 atm

V = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas = $37^oC=273+37=310K$

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0202 mole

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get :

$(1.00atm)\times V=0.0202 mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (310K)$

$V=0.51411L=514.11ml$

Therefore, the volume of $CO_2$ will be, 514.11 ml

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

85 g AgNO₃ (silver nitrate)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Ag - 107.87 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of AgNO₃ - 107.87 + 14.01 + 3(16.00) = 169.88 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 85 \ g \ AgNO_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ AgNO_3}{169.88 \ g \ AgNO_3})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ AgNO_3}{1 \ mol \ AgNO_3})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 3.01313 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ AgNO_3$
