Answer:
Inert gases
Explanation:
Inert elements have a stable electron configuration meaning their shells/orbitals are full with their requisite number of electrons. Therefore, gaining or losing an electron would take high ionization energy. Therefore they are less likely to be involved in chemical reaction unless a high amount of energy is used. An example of an inert gas is Helium.
Answer : The pressure of the helium gas is, 1269.2 mmHg
Explanation :
To calculate the pressure of the gas we are using ideal gas equation:
where,
P = Pressure of gas = ?
V = Volume of gas = 210. mL = 0.210 L (1 L = 1000 mL)
n = number of moles = 0.0130 mole
R = Gas constant =
T = Temperature of gas =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Conversion used : (1 atm = 760 mmHg)
Thus, the pressure of the helium gas is, 1269.2 mmHg
