Answer:

Sodium is higher than Potassium in thesame group

Explanation:

Sodium and potassium are the elements present in the first group of the periodic table. In group, atomic size increases from top to bottom this implies that even atomic radius increases. This causes less attraction force by nucleus on the electrons of outermost orbit of the atom and hence reduces the first ionisation energy, which is the energy required to remove the electron from the outermost orbit of an atom. So, as potassium is below sodium in the group, sodium has greater ionisation energy than potassium

What volume will 50.2 grams of co2 (g) occupy at stp?

Genrish500 [490]

Number of moles of CO2 =
Mass /Ar
= 50.2 / (12 + 32)
1.14 mols

For every 1 mol of gas, there will be
24000 cm^3 of gas

Vol. = 1.14 x 24 dm^3
= 27.36 dm^3

A cylinder with a moving piston expands from an initial volume of 0.350 L against an external pressure of 1.90 atm. The expansio

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

1.84 L

Explanation:

Using the equation for reversible work:

$W = -P*(V_{2} - V_{1})$

Where:

W is the work done (J) = -287 J.

Since the gas did work, therefore W is negative.

P is the pressure in atm = 1.90 atm.

However, work done is in joules and pressure is in atm. We can use the values of universal gas constant as a convenient conversion unit. R = 8.314 J/(mol*K); R = 0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol*K)

Therefore, the conversion unit is 0.0821/8.314 = 0.00987 (L*atm)/J

$V_{1}$ is the initial volume = 0.350 L

$V_{2}$ is the final volume = ?

Thus:

(-287 J)*0.00987 (L*atm)/J = -1.9 atm*( $V_{2}$ - 0.350) L

$V_{2}$ = [(287*0.00987)+(1.9*0.350)]/1.9 = (2.833+0.665)/1.9 =1.84 L
