Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      Pressure (P) = 760 torr = 1 atm

      Volume (V) = 720 cm^{3} = 0.720 L

     Temperature (T) = 25^{o}C = (25 + 273) K = 298 K

Using ideal gas equation, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

                                PV = nRT

   Total atoms present (n) = \frac{PV}{RT}

                                          = 1 \times \frac{0.720 L}{0.0821 \times 298}

                                           = 0.0294 mol

Let us assume that there are x mol of Ar and y mol of Xe.

Hence, total number of moles will be as follows.

               x + y = 0.0294

Also,      40x + 131y = 2.966

             x = 0.0097 mol

              y = (0.0294 - 0.0097)

                = 0.0197 mol

Therefore, mole fraction will be calculated as follows.

Mol fraction of Xe = \frac{y}{(x+y)}

                               = \frac{0.0197}{0.0294}

                              = 0.67

Therefore, the mole fraction of Xe is 0.67.

Radon-219 decays to radon-218 by releasing... a. a positron b.a muon O c. a neutron O d. an electron O e. a proton
MrRa [10]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A positron is denoted as ^{0}_{+1}e, a neutron is denoted as ^{1}_{0}n, an electron is denoted as ^{0}_{-1}e, and a proton is denoted as ^{1}_{1}p.

Therefore, when ^{219}Rn will decay into ^{218}Rn this means there occurs decrease in its mass number. Hence, it means a neutron will be releasing during this reaction.

The reaction will be as follows.

                ^{219}Rn \rightarrow ^{218}Rn + ^{1}_{0}n

What is the difference between electronegativity and ionization energy
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

These properties are basically the inverse of each other.

Explanation:

  • Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract an electron and make it a part of its orbital.

        Ionization enthalpy, is the energy required to remove an electron from                        an atom.

  • More electronegative atoms have high ionization enthalpies If the energy required to remove an electron is less, i.e. the atom has more tendency to give electron, it would thus have less tendency to take electron.
  • Values and tendency of electronegativity in the periodic table: In general, the electronegativity of a non‐metal is  larger than that of metal. For the elements of one period the electronegativities increase from  left to right across the periodic table. For the elements of one main group the electronegativities  decrease from top to bottom across the periodic table. To the subgroup elements, there’s no  regular rule.
  • Values and tendency of ionization potential in the periodic table: The first ionization energy is the energy which is  required when a gaseous atom/ion loses an electron to form a gaseous +1 valence ion. The  energy which is required for a gaseous +1 valence ion to loose an electron to form a gaseous +2  valence ion, is called the second ionization energy of an element.  In general, the second ionization energy is higher than the first ionization energy of an element. The first ionization energies of the elements of one period increase from the left to the right  across the periodic table. According to the elements of main group, the first ionization energies  generally decreases from top to bottom across the periodic table.

Can rotation and revolution occur at the same time? Explain.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Revolution is the movement of an object around another object. So, Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around Earth. At the same time, Earth and the Moon are also rotating. Earth's rate of revolution is about 365 days (one year), and its rate of rotation is about 24 hours (one day).

A compound is found to contain 43.66% of P and 56.33% of O.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: P2O5 is the empirical formula.

Explanation: When given percentages you can assume that many grams of each atom are in the compound. Then you divide grams by the molar mass of each element, giving you moles. Once you have moles, divide by the smaller molar amount, which should give you 1 mol of Phosphorus and 2.5 mol of Oxygen. Then multiply by 2 in order for both moles to be a whole number. This gets you 2 and 5.
