Answer:

Neon is the least likely to undergo chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The other elements given in the option do not have 8 electrons in their outermost shell, so they will be quite willing to undergo chemical reactions in order to become stable.

Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 57.5 L Xe at STP

[Solve] atoms Xe

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[STP] 22.4 L = 1 mol

Avogadro's Number

Step 3: Convert

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 57.5 \ L \ Xe(\frac{1 \ mol \ Xe}{22.4 \ L \ Xe})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Xe}{1 \ mol \ Xe})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 1.54583 \cdot 10^{24} \ atoms \ Xe$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

1.54583 × 10²⁴ atoms Xe ≈ 1.55 × 10²⁴ atoms Xe

When was the idea of an atom first developed? Describe this theory.

malfutka [58]

The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.

According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.

Suppose that Daniel has a 3.00 3.00 L bottle that contains a mixture of O 2 O2 , N 2 N2 , and CO 2 CO2 under a total pressure of

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Partial pressure O₂ → 2.74 atm

Explanation:

Let's analyse the data given:

Volume → 3L

In the bottle there is a mixture of gases that contains, O₂, N₂ and CO₂.

Total pressure is 4.80 atm

Let's apply the Ideal Gases Law to determine the total moles of the mixture

P . V = n . R. T

4.80 atm . 3L = n . 0.082 . 273K

n = 4.80 atm . 3L / 0.082 . 273K → 0.643 moles

We apply the concept of mole fraction:

Mole fraction of a gas X = moles of gas X / Total moles

Mole fraction of a gas X = Partial pressure X / Total pressure

In a mixture, sum of mole fraction of each gas = 1

We determine mole fraction of N₂ → 0.230 / 0.643 = 0.357

We determine mole fraction of CO₂ → 0.350 atm / 4.80 atm = 0.0729

1 - mole fraction N₂ - mole fraction CO₂ = mole fraction O₂

1 - 0.357 - 0.0729 = 0.5701 → mole fraction O₂

We replace in the formula: Mole fraction O₂ = Partial pressure O₂ / 4.80 atm

0.5701 . 4.80 atm = Partial pressure O₂ → 2.74 atm

12 Describe In your own words, describe the glassblowing process.

Vikentia [17]

Explanation:

To give the glass its final shape and size, it is blown into with a blowpipe, creating a sort of bubble of glass. To carry out this process, the blowpipe holding the glass must be placed on a steel stand. Then, the glass artist has to blow into the blowpipe while rotating it at the same
