Answer:

The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.

Explanation:

Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.

The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.

But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.

So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

Hitman42 [59]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

N₂O₄(g)⇌2NO₂ at 2°C is Kc = 2.0

If each yellow sphere represents 1 mol of N₂O₄(g) and each gray sphere 1 mol of NO₂ which of the following 1.0 L containers represents the equilibrium mixture at 2°C?

The image is attached below.

Answer: The system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_c$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

The expression for $K_{c}$ is written as:

$K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

For the given chemical equation:

$N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$ .......(1)

We are given:

Volume of the container = 1.0 L

Value of $K_c$ = 2.0

Molarity of the substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}$

For the given images:

For a:

Number of Gray spheres = 8 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 4 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(8/1)^2}{(4/1)}\\\\K_c=16$

For b:

Number of Gray spheres = 4 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(4/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=2$

For c:

Number of Gray spheres = 6 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 6 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(6/1)^2}{(6/1)}\\\\K_c=6$

For d:

Number of Gray spheres = 2 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(2/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

According to the combined gas law, the pressure exerted by a gas is:

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer : The correct option is, (d) inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

Charles' Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

$V\propto T$

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$

Combined gas law : It is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{PV}{T}=K$

or,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

From the above information we conclude that the pressure exerted by a gas is inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature.

Hence, the correct option is, (d)
