Answer:

The identity of the gas is Cl₂ (chlorine)

Explanation:

STP conditions are:

1 atm → Pressure

273.15 K → T°

So, we must use the Ideal Gas Law to get the moles.

Before that, we will think density as data where 3.164 g of diatomic gas are contained in 1 L of volume.

P.V = n . R . T

1 atm . 1 L = n. 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K

1 L.atm / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) = n

0.0446 mol = n

This quantity of diatomic gas, are 3.164 g so the molar mass will be:

Mass / mol = molar mass

3.164 g / 0.0446 mol = 70.9 g/m

The element (a diatomic molecule), which has that molar mass in the periodic table is the Cl₂.

1 Cl = 35.45 g/m

Cl₂. = 70.9 g/m

Characteristics of Life Present in Viruses:

has a defined boundary - viruses are made up simply of genetic material surrounded by a protein capsid and sometimes a lipid membrane

Characteristics of Life Absent in Viruses:

made up of one or more cells - one of the main arguments for why viruses are not living is that they are not cellular
uses energy - this is a tricky one. They don't use or produce their own energy. However, in order to reproduce they do hijack the host cells and steal energy from them in order to reproduce
exhibits growth and development - although viruses do reproduce, the individual viral particles do not exhibit growth or development
possess internal organisation - other than the fact they ahve genetic material, the inside of a virus does not contain internal organization like a cytosol, instead conssiting of the bare minimum amount of proteins to survive
eliminates waste - since they do not have their own metabolism, they have no waste to eliminate

Which pH value represents a solution with the lowest OHM ion concentration?

Arlecino [84]

pH value 1 represents a solution with the lowest OH⁻ion concentration.

Explanation:

pH is given by the expression as the negative logarithm to the base 10 of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]

If the pH is lower than 7, pH < 7 then it is acidic

If the pH = 7, then it is neutral

If the pH > 7, then it is basic

If pH is 1 then the solution is showing mostly acidic character,which is least basic in its character.

So if the pH is 1, which is most acidic and least basic solution that is lowest OH⁻ ion concentration.

if the spin of one electron in an orbital is clockwise , what is the spin of the other electron in that orbital

nata0808 [166]

Here we have to get the spin of the other electron present in a orbital which already have an electron which has clockwise spin.

The electron will have anti-clockwise notation.

We know from the Pauli exclusion principle, no two electrons in an atom can have all the four quantum numbers i.e. principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (m) and spin quantum number (s) same. The importance of the principle also restrict the possible number of electrons may be present in a particular orbital.

Let assume for an 1s orbital the possible values of four quantum numbers are n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 and s = $\frac{+}{-}$ $\frac{1}{2}$ .
