In terms of shape and volume, how can a gas be defined ?

Chemistry

Particles in a gas are far apart compared to a solid or liquid, allowing it not to have a definitive shape or volume. This also means that gases can fill any container and be easily compressed.

4.65 L of nitrogen at standard pressure is compressed into a 0.480 L container. What is the new pressure in kPa?
Semenov [28]
Assuming that nitrogen gas is ideal, we can use the equation PV = nRT to relate first conditions to the second condition. At constant temperature, pressure and volume are indirectly related as follows:

P = k / V

k is equal nRT

P1V1 = P2V2
P2 = 101.325 ( 4.65 ) / .480 = 981.586 kPa

I2 is produced by the reaction of 0.4235 mol of CuCl2 according to the following equation: 2CuCl2+4KI⟶2CuI+4KCl+I2. What volume
sveta [45]

Answer: 4.7432 L

Explanation:

Use stoichiometry: .4235 mol CuCl2 (1 mol I2 / 2 mol CuCl2)(22.4 L / 1 mol I2) = 4.7432 L :)

Is this atom more likely to gain electrons or to lose electrons? Explain how you can tell
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.
