<u>Answer:</u> The molality of the solution is 0.1 m.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:
Where,
= Given mass of solute = 27.1 g
= Molar mass of solute = 27.1 g/mol
= Mass of solvent = 100 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the molality of the solution is 0.1 m.
Answer:
Collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy.
Explanation:
When a gas is paced in a container, the molecules of the gas have little or no intermolecular interaction between them. There is a lot of space between the molecules of the gas.
The gas molecules move at very high speed and collide with each other and with the walls of container.
The collision of these particles with each other is perfectly elastic hence the kinetic energy of the colliding gas particles do not change.
Answer: 8 electrons
Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.
Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.
Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.
Three elements that are likely to have similar chemical and physical properties are
