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).

What is the melting point of a solution in which 3.5 grams of sodium chloride is added to 230 mL of water?
kirza4 [7]
We are going to use this equation:

ΔT = - i m Kf

when m is the molality of a solution 

i = 2

and ΔT is the change in melting point = T2- 0 °C

and Kf is cryoscopic constant = 1.86C/m

now we need to calculate the molality so we have to get the moles of NaCl first:

moles of NaCl = mass / molar mass

                         = 3.5 g / 58.44 

                         = 0.0599 moles


when the density of water = 1 g / mL and the volume =230 L

∴ the mass of water = 1 g * 230 mL = 230 g = 0.23Kg 

now we can get the molality = moles NaCl / Kg water

                                                =0.0599moles/0.23Kg

                                                = 0.26 m

∴T2-0 =  - 2 * 0.26 *1.86

∴T2 = -0.967 °C

The volume of a sample of gas is 0.5 L and the pressure is 0.98 atm. The volume is increased to 1.0 L. Show the set
meriva

Given,

P1 = 0.98 atm

V1 = 0.5 L

V2 = 1.0 L

P2 = ?

Solution,

According to Boyle's Law,

P1V1 = P2V2

0.98 × 0.5 = 1.0 × P2

P2 = 0.98 × 0.5 × 1.0

P2 = 0.49 atm

Answer - The new pressure is 0.49 atm.

What is AgNO3 + KCI-KNO3+AgCI. What type of reaction does this represent
PIT_PIT [208]
<span>C4H10 + 6.5 O2 ----> 4CO2 + 5H2O 

2C4H10 + 13 O2 ----> 8CO2 + 10H2O 

1. Count the C on the left (4), put a 4 where the C on the right. 

2. Count the H on the left (1), you have two on the right, so you multimply this two by 5. Put the 5 in front of the H2O 

3. Count the O on the right. You have 4*2 + 5 = 13. You have two on the left, so you need 6.5 on the left. 

4. Now multiply everything on the equation by two so you have nice integer numbers. 

5. check you have the same amount of everything on each side. 
Example C: left 8, right 8, etc.
I hope this helps. :)</span><span>
