Answer: The temperature of the gas reduced to 400K.
Explanation:
Stated that ; The pressure remains the same, that is initial and final pressure equals 1atm.
Applying Charles Law
Initial volume V1 = 1
Final volume V2 = 1/2 (halved)
Initial temperature T1 =800K
Final temperature T2 = ?
(1/800) = (1/2)/T2
T2 = 800/2
T= 400K
Therefore, when the volume is halved, the temperature reduced also to half ( 400K)
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Which of the following Group 17 elements is the least reactive
a) Flourine
b) Chlorine
c) Astatine
d) Iodine
Answer: c) Astatine
Explanation:
Halogen is the name given to Group 17 family with general electronic configuration of which have 7 valence electrons and thus easily gain one electron to attain stable configuration.
As we move down the group from flourine to chlorine to bromine to iodine to astatine , the valence shell moves farther from nucleus and thus tendency to accept the electron decreases and thus reactivity also decreases.
Thus Astatine is the least reactive of all.
