Why is Cobalt (Co) placed before Nickel (Ni) on the Periodic Table of the Elements even though it has a higher average atomic ma

ss than nickel?

Answer: Nickel has one more proton.

Explanation:

The Periodic table orders elements based on their atomic number not by their atomic mass even though this order usually coincides with the atomic masses of the elements. Occasionally however, this is not the case as is proven by Cobalt and Nickel.

The atomic number of an element refers to the number of protons that the element has in its nucleus. Cobalt has 27 protons whilst Nickel has one more proton at 28 which is why it comes after Cobalt.

A gas occupies 100 mL at 150. kPa. Find its volume at 200. kPa. You must show all your work to receive credit. Be sure to identi
PtichkaEL [24]

The Boyle-Mariotte's law or Boyle's law is one of the laws of gases that <u>relates the volume (V) and pressure (P) of a certain amount of gas maintained at constant temperature</u>, as follows:

PV = k

where k is a constant.

We can relate the state of a gas at a specific pressure and volume to another state in which the same gas is at different P and V since the product of both variables is equal to a constant, according to the Boyle's law, which will be the same regardless of the state of the gas. In this way,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and V₁ is the pressure and volume of the gas to a state 1 and P₂ and V₂ is the pressure and volume of the same gas in a state 2.

In this case, in the state 1 the gas occupies a volume V₁ = 100 mL at a pressure of P₁ = 150 kPa. Then, in the state 2 the gas occupies a volume V₂ (that we must calculate through the boyle's law) at a pressure of P₂ = 200 kPa.  Substituting these values in the previous equation and clearing V₂, we have,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ → V₂ = \frac{P1V1}{P2}  

→ V₂ = \frac{100 mL x 150 kPa}{200 kPa}

→ V₂ = 75 mL

Then, the volume occupied by the gas at 200 kPa is V₂ = 75 mL
