As you proceed down the periodic table, the metallic character becomes stronger. This is because as the atomic radius increases, there is less attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons due to the greater distance between them, making electrons simpler to shed.
Answer: The atomic weight of any atom can be found by multiplying the abundance of an isotope of an element by the atomic mass of the element and then adding the results together. This equation can be used with elements with two or more isotopes: Carbon-12: 0.9889 x 12.0000 = 11.8668. Carbon-13: 0.0111 x 13.0034 = 0.1443.
Explanation:
The reaction for burning of charcoal or complete combustion is as follows:
From the above balanced reaction, 1 mole of carbon releases 1 mole of 
gas.
Converting mass of charcoal into moles as follows:
Molar mass of pure carbon is 12 g/mol thus,
The same moles of is released. Converting these moles into mass as follows:
m=n×M
Molar mass of is 44 g/mol thus,
Converting mass into kg,
Thus, total mass of gas released is 5.5 kg.
