Anika [276]3 years ago

Answer:

As you move across a period the electrons are being added to the same shell. But, protons are being added as well. This makes the nucleus more positively charged and, increasing protons has a greater effect than electrons. So, there is a greater nuclear attraction and, because the electrons are being added to the same shell that shell gets pulled in more. This causes a decrease in atomic radius.

What is the temperature of 0.5 moles of water vapor that occupies 120 dm3 and applies a pressure of 15,000 Pa to its container?
MArishka [77]
Use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

so, T = PV / nR

n=0.5
V= 120 dm^3 = 120 L  (1 dm^3 = 1 L)
R = 1/12
P = 15,000 Pa =  0.147 atm     (1 pa = 9.86 10^{-6} )

Put the values:

T = PV / nR
T = (0.147) (120) / (0.5) (1/12)
T= 426 K

For the first one, you have to find one that has both a metal and a nonmetal in it, plus potassium. Bonds between nonmetals are called covalent because they share electrons and a bond between a metal and a nonmetal is an ionic bond because they exchange electrons.

Potassium chloride is KCl. Only an ionic bond.

Potassium hydride is KH. Only an ionic bond.

Potassium nitrate is KNO3. There we go, that has a covalent bond between the nitrogen and oxygen, and an ionic bond between potassium and the nitrogen and oxygen.

For the second one, potassium chloride is the answer because the other three also have covalent bonds. Chloride is the only one that isn't a compound.

When Iodine-131 emits a β particle (beta particle), what nuclide is produced? *
k0ka [10]

When Iodine-131 emits a β particle will produce Xe-131

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles ₀γ⁰
  • positron particles ₁e⁰
  • neutron ₀n¹

So for reaction Iodine-131 :

\tt _{53}^{131}I\rightarrow _{-1}^0\beta +_{54}^{131}Xe
