Serjik [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer : The correct option is argon.

Explanation :

Neutral atom : It is defined as an atom has equal number of electrons and protons.

  • The given electronic configuration of magnesium is,

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

The atomic number of magnesium is 12 that means it has 12 number of protons and 12 number of electrons.

As per given electronic configuration, there are 18 electrons are present in magnesium which is the electronic configuration of argon. So, this is not a neutral atom.

  • The given electronic configuration of argon is,

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

The atomic number of argon is 18 that means it has 18 number of protons and 18 number of electrons. So, this is a neutral atom.

Calculate the work done when an ideal gas expands isothermally and reversibly in a piston and cylinder assembly for expansion of
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

W=5743.1077\ J

Explanation:

The expression for the work done is:

W=RT \ln \left( \dfrac{P_1}{P_2} \right)

Where,

W is the amount of work done by the gas

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol

T is the temperature

P₁ is the initial pressure

P₂ is the final pressure

Given that:

T = 300 K

P₁ = 10 bar

P₂ = 1 bar

Applying in the equation as:

W=8.314\times 300 \ln \left( \dfrac{10}{1} \right)

W=300\times \:8.314\ln \left(10\right)

W=2.30258\times \:2494.2

W=5743.1077\ J

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

0.47dm³

Explanation

Given parameters :

Molarity of NaCl = 6.67M

Number of moles = 3.12mol

Volume of NaCl =?

Volume of NaCl = number of moles/Molarity

Volume of NaCl = 3.12mol/6.67M

Volume of NaCl = 0.47dm³
