Answer:

Compare the reactivities of lithium (Li) and Krypton (Kr)

Explanation:

Lithium has an <em>atomic number </em>of <em>3</em> while krypton has an <em>atomic number</em> of <em>36</em>. Note that <em>atomic number</em> is the <em>number of protons </em>present in an atom. It can be deduced from the above that krypton has more protons than lithium however krypton is found in the group zero of the periodic table and thus a noble gas. One of the properties of noble gases/group zero elements is that they have low reactivity because of there octet configuration/completely filled outermost shell.

However, lithium on the other hand is a member of group 1 (called alkali metals) in the periodic table. Group 1 elements are highly reactive (there members are some of the most reactive metals) because they have just one electron in there outermost shell which can be easily donated to achieve duplet/octet configuration.

Hence, Lithium (Li) with 3 protons is more reactive than krypton (Kr) with 36 protons hence disputing the student's idea.

A 0.529-g sample of gas occupies 125 ml at 60. cm of hg and 25°c. what is the molar mass of the gas?
Llana [10]

<span>Let's </span>assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>

</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 60 cm Hg = 79993.4 Pa
V = </span>125  mL = 125 x 10⁻⁶ m³

n = ?

<span> R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 25 °C = 298 K
<span>
By substitution,
</span></span>79993.4 Pa<span> x </span>125 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 298 K<span>
                                          n = 4.0359 x 10</span>⁻³ mol

<span>
Hence, moles of the gas</span> = 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>

Moles = mass / molar mass

</span>Mass of the gas  = 0.529 g 

<span>Molar mass of the gas</span> = mass / number of moles<span>
                                    = </span>0.529 g / 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>
<span>                                    = </span>131.07 g mol</span>⁻¹<span>

Hence, the molar mass of the given gas is </span>131.07 g mol⁻¹

Why does the temperature of the water stay the same when it melts and boils?
krok68 [10]

The temperature stays the same when a solid changes to a liquid because energy is required to break the forces between particles of water therefore changing the state of matter and separating the particles away from each other.

When a liquid boils, the energy is needed by the particles to escape the surface of the liquid and boil. Instead of raising the temperature, the energy goes into the particles' kinetic energy store so it has enough speed to escape the surface of the liquid.
