When a gas is pumped into a small rigid container the pressure inside the container increases as more particles are added. If th

e number of particles is doubled then the pressure will double. What would happen if the number of particles were decreased by half?

Answer:  A. Pressure would decrease by half

Explanation:

Since the container of the gas is rigid, the volume of the gas will remain constant. Therefore, when the number of particles were decreased in half then the pressure will also be half of the original given they both are subjected to the same temperature.

PV = nRT

V, T and R are constants so they can be lumped together to a constant k.

P/n = k
P1/n1 = P2/n2

since n2 = n1/2
P1/n1 = P2/<span>n1/2</span>
P2 = P1/2

A student carried out a simple distillation on a compound known to boil at 124 oc and they reported a boiling point of 116-117 o
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer :

The correct answer is due to incorrect position of thermometer .

Distillation  is process of separating two volatile liquids on the basis of their boiling points .In involves the following set up ( shown in image )

Since the Boiling point is found   is 116-117 C which is near to 124 C , also the purity was checked and thermometer was calibrated .

So the only error could be possible is position of thermometer .

The position of  bulb of thermometer is very important to get an accurate reading of boiling point .The vapor so formed should touch the side walls of bulb as soon as they are formed .

May be  the bulb of thermometer was   kept far from the vapors formed by liquid so,  s<u>ome of  the vapor before reaching to  bulb start condensing and their Temperature decreases </u>.  

Hence , the  temperature shown by thermometer was decrease than actual boiling point  due to incorrect position of thermometer.

Do you notice a pattern in the charge for elements in each group? Explain.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Below are some patterns in the charge for elements in each group.

Group 1 elements : 1 valence electron and form ions with charge +1

Group 2 elements : 2 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 2

Group 3 elements : 3 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 3(there are some exceptions as well)

Elements in groups 4 and 5 are unpredictable also the D block elements consist of multiple oxidation states..

Group 6 elements : 6 valence electrons, form ions with charge -2

Group 7 elements: 7 valence electrons, form ions with charge -1  

The octet rule is being followed, the elements form either ionic bond or covalent bond to fulfill it.

eg: when a K atom forms a K+ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ar (argon).

When an O atom gains 2 electrons to form the O²⁻ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ne (neon).  

Note: Boron (B) is in Group 3 but doesn't form ions.

A chef is serving a lunch special with 1 sandwich and 2 corn cobs per plate. If there are 5 sandwiches and 14 corn cobs, what is
shtirl [24]
5 plates is the highest amount that can be served

There’s only 5 sandwiches so 7 is automatically ruled out, there’s 14 corn cobs and 5 sandwiches only need 10 so it works out
