A certain box contains 200 particles of an ideal gas. how many times more likely is it to find the particles evenly split betwee

n the left and right halves of the box, than to find 160 particles on one side and 40 on the other?

 Each particle has two possibilities: either it is on the left hand side or it is on the right hand side.  

The probability of having them equally split is  

P(100,100) = 200C100 / 2^200  

where 200C100 is the binomial coefficient.  

For the uneven distribution we have  

P= 2 * 200C160 / 2^200  

where the factor 2 comes in because we could have 160/40 or 40/160 as a division.  

So the ratio of probabilities is  

200C100 /(2 * 200C160 )  

= 2.2 * 10^16

Hope this helps!

The element in period 3 with the most metallic character is A sodium
Gekata [30.6K]
A. Sodium is correct.

Sodium is an alkali metal.
Aluminum is a post-transitional metal- still a metal but it’s character is not as metallic as sodium.
Silicon is a metalloid- it has characteristics from both the metals and the non-metals.
Phosphorous is a non-metal.

A solution of which of the following coordination compounds will form a precipitate when treated with aqueous AgNO3?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

[Cr(NH3)6.]C13

Explanation:

Alfred Werner's coordination theory (1893) recognized two kinds of valency;

Primary valency which are nondirectional and secondary valency which are directional.

Hence, the number of counter ions precipitated from a complex depends on the primary valency of the central metal ion in the complex.

We must note that it is only these counter ions that occur outside the coordination sphere that can be precipitated by AgNO3.

If we consider the options carefully, only [Cr(NH3)6.]C13 possess counter ions outside the coordination sphere which can be precipitated when treated with aqueous AgNO3.
