Explanation:

(a)  It is known that both Be and Ba are group 2 elements. And, in metals more easily an element is able to lose valence electrons more will be its metallic character.

Elements of group 2 have more metallic character as compared to elements of group 3 (Al is a group 3 element).

Therefore, out of the given options Ba is larger in size so, it is most metallic in nature.

(b)   A covalent compound is defined as the compound in which combining atoms form a chemical bond due to sharing of electrons.

Whereas a compound in which combining atoms tend to form a chemical bond due to transfer of electrons is known as an ionic compound.

Both NaCl and CaCl_{2} are ionic in nature. On the other hand, in BeCl_{2} size of Be is smaller and it has high charge density due to which it will attract the valence electrons of chlorine atom.

Hence, sharing of atoms occur in BeCl_{2}. Hence,  BeCl_{2} is a covalent compound.

(c)  Ionization energy is defined as the heat or energy necessary to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.

Larger is the size of an atom, less amount of energy will be needed by it to remove a valence electron. Hence, lower will be the value of ionization energy.

Therefore, out of the given options Rb has the lowest first ionization energy.

(d)    Higher is the positive charge on an atom smaller will be its size because a positive charge occurs due to loss of electrons.

As a result, size of an atom becomes small. Therefore, out of the given options Al^{3+} is the smallest.

(e)   When we move from left to right in a periodic table then there will be decrease in size of atom due to the addition of electrons into same shells.

Cs is placed at the bottom right corner and Xe is placed at the bottom left corner of a periodic table.

Hence, size of Cs^{+} is largest as compared to both Ba^{+} and Xe.

open the phase diagram for co2 given in the introduction again. use the phase diagram for co2 in the interactive activity and de
Annette [7]

The phase diagram of CO2 has a melting curve that slopes up and to the right, in contrast to the phase diagram of water, which has a more conventional shape. It is impossible for liquid CO2 to exist at pressures lower than 5.11 atm because the triple point is 5.11 atm and 56.6 °C.

Due to the fact that ice is less thick than liquid water, the phase diagram of water has an odd melting point that drops with pressure. Carbon dioxide cannot exist as a liquid at atmospheric pressure, according to the phase diagram of the gas. Thus, gaseous carbon dioxide directly sublimes from solid carbon dioxide.

A gas at constant temperature has a pressure of 404.6 kPa with a volume of 12 ml. If the volume changes to 43ml, what is the new
blagie [28]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>112.912 kPa</h2>

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the new pressure

P_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}  \\

404.6 kPa = 404600 Pa

From the question we have

P_2 =  \frac{404600 \times 12}{43}  =  \frac{4855200}{43}  \\  = 112911.6279... \\  = 112912

We have the final answer as

<h3>112.912 kPa</h3>

Hope this helps you
