Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

Atomic number of beryllium is 4 and its electronic distribution is 2, 2. This means there are only two shells of electrons.

Whereas atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.  This means there are three shells of electrons.

Also there is one more valence electron in sodium as compared to beryllium.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the element X is sodium (Na).

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

We have that there were produced 0.120 moles of CO_{2}

n=0.120mol

<h2>Why?</h2>

We are asked to calculate the number of moles of the given gas, also, we  are given the volume, the temperature and the pressure of the gas, we can calculate the approximate volume using The Ideal Gas Law.

The Ideal Gas Law is based on Boyle's Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, Charles's Law, and Avogadro's Law, and it's described by the following equation:

PV=nRT

Where,

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

n is the number of moles of the gas.

T is the absolute temperature of the gas (Kelvin).

R is the ideal gas constant (to work with pressure in mmHg), which is equal to:

R=62.363\frac{mmHg.L}{mol.K}

We must remember that the The Ideal Gas Law equation works with absolute temperatures (K), so, if we are given relative temperatures such as Celsius degrees or Fahrenheit degrees, we need to convert it to Kelvin before we proceed to work with the equation.

We can convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin using the following formula:

Temperature(K)=Temperature(C\°) + 273K

So, we are given the following information:

Pressure=760mmHg\\Volume=2.965L\\Temperature=25.5C\°=25.5+273K=298.5K

Now, isolating the number of moles, and substituting the given information, we have:

PV=nRT

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{760mmHg*2.965L}{62.363\frac{mmHg.L}{mol.K}*298.5K}

n=\frac{760mmHg*2.965L}{62.363\frac{mmHg.L}{mol.K}*298.5K}\\\\n=\frac{2242mmHg.L}{18615.355\frac{mmHg.L}{mol.}}\\\\n=0.120mole

Hence, we have that there were produced 0.120 moles of CO_{2}

n=0.120mol

Have a nice day!

solution:

the reaction for formation of methyl acetate is\\CH_{3}OH+CH_{3}COOH----------->CH_{3}COOCH_{3}+H_{2}O\\standard internal energy \\\delta u=\delta H -\delta(pv)=\delta H -\delta n\times RT\\where \delta n=change in number of moles=0\\\delta u=\delta H\\=-442kj/mol
