What is the easiest way for atoms without a full valence shell to gain a full valence shell?

Most atoms do not. For those atoms that do not have a full valence shell (which usually would contain eight electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, where it would contain two), something has to change. So nature's tendency toward a full valence shell will lead to one of two things: The gain or loss of electrons.

Not most atoms. Most atoms. Something needs to change for atoms that do not have a complete valence shelled (usually containing eight electrons other than hydrogen and helium, where there are two), Thus the tendency of nature to reach an entire valence shell leads to one of two things: electron gain or loss.

Answer:

V2~0.4839M

Explanation:

We're going to use Boyles law to answer the question.

Boyle's law:

P1V1=P2V2

P1=151mmHg

P2=166mmHg

V1=0.532L

V2=?

V2=(P1 x V1)/P2

V2=(151 x 0.532)/166

V2~0.4839M

Hope it helps:)

Dehydration is a reversible process. Which of the two set-ups, distillation or

Nata [24]

Answer:

Distillation will generate the most cyclohexene.

Explanation:

Let us assume following attached reaction for the synthesis of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol which attains equilibrium after certain time.

As shown in figure the cyclohexanol upon treatment with phosphoric acid undergoes dehydration reaction (removal of water) and produces cyclohexene. On the other hand cyclohexene reacts with water (hydration reaction) and produces cyclohexanol.

Now, if this reaction is allowed in a single flask it will attain equilibrium and will not generate the cyclohexene in high quantity. On the other hand if we apply Le Chatelier's principle ( removal of product moves the equilibrium in right direction) and distillate cyclohexene (boiling the cyclohexene to convert it into vapors and then collect it after condensation) will move the reaction in forward direction and will allow us to generate cyclohexene in high amounts.
