Option 2, Br. I'll go over why all other three options are incorrect.

Option 1 - Krypton is a Noble gas, and so it doesn't need to accept electrons since it has an octet.

Option 3 and 4 - Both Calcium and Barium are alkaline earth metals, and give away electrons, since they only have 2.

-T.B.

Write equations for the half-reactions that occur at the anode and cathode for the electrolysis of each of the following aqueous
nirvana33 [79]
For NaBr(aq) hydrogen gas is formed at the cathode. Hydrogen in water is reduced to hydrogen gas. For NaBr(aq), bromine, Br2(l), will be produced instead of oxygen gas at the anode. 

<span>For sodium sulfate hydrogen gas is formed at the cathode. Hydrogen in water is reduced to hydrogen gas. Oxygen gas will be produced at the anode. </span>

<span>Should someone suggest that sodium metal is formed at the cathode, rest assured that that can't happen. Sodium metal reacts with water to make Na+. </span>

<span>Lead(II) iodide is insoluble in water. Therefore, not much will happen since there is no electrolyte.</span>

At this pressure, how many molecules of air would there be in a 20 ∘C experimental chamber with a volume of 0.020 m3 ?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Explanation: The lowest pressure in a laboratory is 4.0×10^-11Pa

Using Ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P= 4.0×10^-11Pa

V= 0.020m^3

T= 20+273= 293k

n=number of moles = m/A

Where m is the number of molecules and A is the Avogradro's number=6.02×10²³/mol

R=8.314J/(mol × K)

PV= m/A(RT)

4.0×10^-11 ×0.020 = m/6.02×10²³(8.314×293)

m = 4.0×10^-11×0.020×6.02×10^23 / (8.314×293)

m = 1.98×10^8 molecules

Therefore,the number of molecules is 1.98×10^8

What is the volume, in liters, of 5.500 mol of C3H3 gas at STP
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

123.2 Liters.

Explanation:

At STP (T = 273K & P = 1atm)<em>, one mol of any gas will occupy 22.4 liters</em>.

With the above information in mind, we can <u>calculate how many liters would 5.500 mol of gas occupy</u>:

5.500 mol * 22.4 L / mol = 123.2 L

So 5.500 moles of C₃H₃ would have a volume of 123.2 liters at STP.
