The correct answer is (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell.
The explanation :
when a gain of energy is the shift of the electrons from a shell of low energy to the shell of high energy
and we have here 2nd shell is the shell of low energy, and 3rd shell is the shell of high energy.
∴ (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell is the correct answer.
Explanation:
To answer this question, we'll need to use the Ideal Gas Law:
p
V
=
n
R
T
,
where
p
is pressure,
V
is volume,
n
is the number of moles
R
is the gas constant, and
T
is temperature in Kelvin.
The question already gives us the values for
p
and
T
, because helium is at STP. This means that temperature is
273.15 K
and pressure is
1 atm
.
We also already know the gas constant. In our case, we'll use the value of
0.08206 L atm/K mol
since these units fit the units of our given values the best.
We can find the value for
n
by dividing the mass of helium gas by its molar mass:
n
=
number of moles
=
mass of sample
molar mass
=
6.00 g
4.00 g/mol
=
1.50 mol
Now, we can just plug all of these values in and solve for
V
:
p
V
=
n
R
T
V
=
n
R
T
p
=
1.50 mol
×
0.08206 L atm/K mol
×
273.15 K
1 atm
= 33.6 L
this is not the answer but it will help you
do by the formula it is on the answer
As the gas is heated, the particles will begin to move faster. Likewise if you start to cool a gas, the particles will move slower. Because the gas remains at a constant pressure and volume, the particles cannot spread out so they simply move around the container even faster.
Hope this helps :)
