Answer:
Explanation:
The octet rule does not always refer to a stable arrangement of eight valence electrons because there are some element that do not have eight valence electrons yet they are stable. for example;
i) Helium, It has two valence electrons and it is a stable gas.
ii) Boron triflouride (BF3); it has six valence electrons (deficit valence electron) yet it is also stable.
iii) Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5); it has more than eight valence electron and it is also stable.
For these few reasons it is not always advisable to say octet arrangement refer to stable eight valence electrons.
Answer: 0.86g/mL
Explanation:
Mass of empty cylinder = 23.731g
Mass of cylinder + liquid = 26.414g
Mass of the liquid = 26.414 — 23.731
= 2.683g
Volume of the liquid = 3.12mL
Density = Mass / volume
Density = 2.683g / 3.12mL
Density = 0.86g/mL
Explanation:
The partial pressure of an individual gas is equal to the total pressure of the mixture multiplied by the mole fraction of the gas.
Total pressure = 2atm
Mole Fraction = number of moles / total number of moles
Neon
Mole Fraction = 4.46 / 7.35 = 0.607
Partial Pressure = 0.607 * 2 = 1.214 atm
Argon
Mole Fraction = 0.74 / 7.35 = 0.101
Partial Pressure = 0.101 * 2 = 0.202 atm
Xenon
Mole Fraction = 2.15 / 7.35 = 0.293
Partial Pressure = 0.293 * 2 = 0.586 atm
Talc is not a good choice when building a statue because the mineral Talc is one of the weakest minerals on the Mohs Scale with a hardness of 1 since it could be scratched by a fingernail, which means that when people build a statue with Talc, it could be easily broken down.
