Which one is heavier 10 gram of sodium or potassium?

1 answer:

7 0

DENSITY Gradually increases in moving down from Li to Cs. Because the increase in mass dominates the increase in volume.
But Potassium is less dense when compared to Sodium. The reason is, the unusual increase in atomic size i. e., atomic volume. This happens because of the addition of empty 3d orbitals. This increases the atomic volume of the atom. Hence we see that anomaly.

At standard temperature and pressure, 1 mole of gas has what volume? A. 2.4 liters B. 22.4 liters C. 42.4 liters D. 76.6 liters

LekaFEV [45]

Answer: B.22.4 liters

Explanation:

When we attribute to a certain fixed mass of a given gas a fixed number of molecules. Avogadro considered that the mass of 36g of oxygen at any temperature and pressure would have a fixed number of molecules to which he called 1 mol of molecules. So by definition 1 mole of molecules would have a number of molecules equal to that present in 36 g of oxygen. The occupied volume by one mole of molecules at a given temperature and pressure is called molar volume and consists in 22,4 Liters. The molar volume matches the Avogadro Hypothesis (created in 1811 by Amedeo Avogadro), where equal volumes of different gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have even number of moles.

The units of density are kg/m2. If the density of a liquid is 760.0 kg/m' what is the specific volume? a) 1.316 x 10 m2/kg b) 1.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is: 1.316 . 10⁻³ m³/kg.

Explanation:

The density (ρ) of a substance is the ratio of its mass (m) to its volume (V). At constant temperature and pressure, its value is constant and it is an intrinsic property of materials. The units of density are kg/m³.

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

The specific volume (ν) of a substance is the ratio of its mass to its volume. We can see that it is the reciprocal of density and an intrinsic property of matter as well. Therefore, the units of specific volume are m³/kg.

$\nu = \frac{V}{m}=\frac{1}{\rho }$
