Answer:
Water ______________________________________________
<span>Let's </span>assume that water vapor has ideal gas
behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>
</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V
is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number
of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa (standard pressure)
V = 13.97 L = 13.97 x 10</span>⁻³ m³<span>
n = ?
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 0 °C = 273 K (standard temperature)
<span>
By substitution,
</span>101325 Pa x 13.97x 10</span>⁻³
m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 273 K<span>
n = 0.624 mol
<span>
Hence, the moles of water vapor at STP is 0.624 mol.
According to the </span></span>Avogadro's constant, 1 mole of substance has 6.022 × 10²³ particles.
<span>
Hence, number of atoms in water vapor = 0.624 mol x </span>6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
<span> = 3.758 x 10</span>²³<span>
</span>
The activity series goes top to bottom, most active to least active elements, going: Li, K, Ba, Sr, Ca, Na, Mg, Mn, Zn, Fe, Cd, Co, Ni, Sn, Pb, H, Cu, Ag, Hg, Au.
Thus, your list of metals would go from most reactive to least reactive: Li, K, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu, Au
Reactants bonds are broken and products bonds are formed
