The correct answer is A. The energy change that happens when a neutral atom gains an electron

Explanation:

In chemistry, an electron is a negatively charged particle that along with neutrons and protons form the atom and make an atom be positively charged, negatively charged or neutral. Additionally, electron affinity refers to the energy involved as in the transfer of electrons, especially as an atom that is neutral gains an electron and energy is released during this change. This occurs mainly in the gaseous state of atoms and implies the creation of bonds. Thus, electron affinity is the energy change as a neutral atom gains an electron (Option A).

If you are given an ideal gas with pressure (P) = 259,392.00 Pa and temperature (T) = 2.00 oC of 1 mole Argon gas in a volume of
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

 R = 0.064 dm³ atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Data Given:

volume of gas V = 8.8 dm³

no. of mole of gas (n) = 1 mole

Pressure P = 259,392.00 Pa  

Convert Pascal (Pa) to atm (atmospheric pressure)

As

101,325 Pascals = 1 atm

So,

259,392.00 Pa  = 2 atm

Then Pressure (P) = 2 atm

Temperature T = 2.00 °C  

change the temperature from °C to K

As  to convert °C to K the below formula used

                   0°C + 273.15 = 273.15K

So, for 2 °C

                    2°C  + 273.15 =  275.15 K

So,

Temperature T  = 275.15 K

ideal gas constant = ?

formula used for Ideal gases

                            PV = nRT

as we have to find R of the gas:

we will rearrange the ideal gas equation as below:

R = PV / nT ........................................... (1)

Put value in equation (1)

                 R = 2atm x 8.8 dm³ / 1 mole x 275.15 K

                  R = 17.6 atm. dm³ / 275.15 mol. K

                  R = 0.064 dm³ atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

So the value of R is 0.064 dm³ atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

and the unit of R (ideal gas constant) is dm³ atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

Based on the mole ratios, what can most likely be predicted?
omeli [17]
From mole ratios, the mass ratio of different elements can be predicted. Also the volume can be predicted based on density for liquids and ideal gas law equation for gases. From the mole ratios, the empirical formula can be predicted, as well as the molecular formula given another data which is mass of the sample.
