Oxygen has 8 plus-charged protons. The number of minus-charged electrons is

1 answer:

6 0

A single oxygen has atomic number 8 that means the nuclei of all oxygen atoms have eight protons. The number of minus-charged electron is two but the number of electrons is 10. To gain a minus two-charge ion, it must have two more negative electrons than positive charged protons. With this, the ion has 10 electrons, which give it a -2 net charge.

Under which conditions of temperature and pressure would a 1-liter sample of a real gas behave most like an ideal gas?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer : The correct option is (3) 500 K and 0.1 atm.

Explanation :

A real gas behaves ideally at high temperature and low pressure.

The ideal gas equation is,

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas

V = Volume of gas

R = Gas constant

T = temperature of gas

n = number of moles of gas

The ideal gas works properly when the inter-molecular interactions between the gas molecules and volume of gas molecule will be negligible. This is possible when pressure is low and temperature is high.

Therefore, the correct option is (3) 500 K and 0.1 atm.

Why doesn’t alcohol freeze?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Because it's a combination of chemicals, vodka doesn't freeze at the same temperature as either water or alcohol. Of course, vodka will freeze, but not at the temperature of an ordinary freezer. This is because vodka contains enough alcohol to lower the freezing point of water below the -17°C of your typical freezer.
