Answer:

The correct answer is "It loses an electron and has an octet in the next-lowest energy level."

Explanation:

Valencia electrons are the electrons found in the last electronic layer (called valence orbitals). These electrons are what determine the ability of the atom to form bonds. When an element joins another, it does so through its valence electrons. It is also possible to say that these electrons are the electrons furthest from the nucleus of the atom, which is why they participate in chemical reactions.

An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.

In the ionic bond, when the metallic atom has a single electron in its outer layer and the non-metallic one needs an electron to complete its layer; The metallic atom yields its electron to the nonmetal for both elements. Thus the ions comply with the octet rule and, therefore, are more stable. Remember that the octet rule states that the atom is stable when it presents in its valence layer 8 electrons. This configuration is similar to that of a noble gas, which are the elements located at the right end of the periodic table.

Potassium is a metal that is in group 1 and has an electron in its last layer (layer S). Then this electron and becomes a cation. In this way it acquires the stable configuration of the argon noble gas Ar, which is the closest noble gas in the periodic table.

So, the correct answer is "It loses an electron and has an octet in the next-lowest energy level."

in a second experiment, the total pressure is observed to be 58 atm. what is the partial pressure of the water vapor produced?

dimulka [17.4K]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Nitroglycerine (C₃H₅N₃O₉) explodes with tremendous force due to the numerous gaseous products. The equation for the explosion of Nitroglycerine is:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9(l)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+O_2(g)+6N_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

A scientist conducts an experiment to characterize a bomb containing nitroglycerine. She uses a steel, ridge container for the test.

Volume of rigid steel container: 1.00 L

Molar mass of Nitroglycerine: 227 g/mol

Temperature: 300 K

Amount of Nitroglycerine tested: 227 g

Value for ideal gas constant, R: 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

In a second experiment, the total pressure is observed to be 58 atm. what is the partial pressure of the water vapor produced?

Answer : The partial pressure of the water vapor is, 20.01 atm

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$

$\text{Moles of }C_3H_5N_3O_9=\frac{\text{Given mass }C_3H_5N_3O_9}{\text{Molar mass }C_3H_5N_3O_9}=\frac{227g}{227g/mol}=1mol$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $CO_2,O_2,N_2\text{ and }H_2O$

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9(l)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+O_2(g)+6N_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 12 moles of $CO_2$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{12}{4}=3$ moles of $CO_2$

and,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 1 moles of $O_2$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{1}{4}=0.25$ moles of $O_2$

and,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 6 moles of $N_2$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{6}{4}=1.5$ moles of $N_2$

and,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 10 moles of $H_2O$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{10}{4}=2.5$ moles of $H_2O$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of water.

$\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2O}{\text{Moles of }H_2O+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }O_2+\text{Moles of }N_2}$

$\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{2.5}{2.5+3+0.25+1.5}=0.345$

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of the water vapor.

According to the Raoult's law,

$p_{H_2O}=X_{H_2O}\times p_T$

where,

$p_{H_2O}$ = partial pressure of water vapor gas = ?

$p_T$ = total pressure of gas = 58 atm

$X_{H_2O}$ = mole fraction of water vapor gas = 0.345

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$p_{H_2O}=X_{H_2O}\times p_T$

$p_{H_2O}=0.345\times 58atm=20.01atm$

Therefore, the partial pressure of the water vapor is, 20.01 atm

Water readily sticks to many other substances, a property called ______. Water readily sticks to many other substances, a proper

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

Cohesion is usually defined as the contrasting property by which the water molecules are attached to one another, and adhesion is the property by which the molecular substances are linked to the molecules of other substances.

Since, the water molecules are able to form inter-molecular hydrogen bonding, so they are comprised of strong cohesive force.

And, as the water molecules are able to stick to the walls of the container, so they tend to show more of the properties for adhesion.

Thus, according to the given condition, water molecules are sticking to other substances and this is the property of adhesion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).

Wind blowing sediment against rock or land area or sand blasting is called

artcher [175]

The correct answer is - deflation.

The process of deflation can be caused by the winds. It is an erosive process in which the main role has the wind that is carrying lot of sediment in the shape of very small particles with it.

Through this process, the winds manage to erode large areas, especially in the drier places where the vegetation is very sparsely distributed. By this type of erosion, the winds manage to make lot of hollows that can range significantly in size. The hollows made by the deflation can be anywhere from few cm deep and several meters long, up to several km long and 50-60 meters of depth.

This is the process that is responsible for the creation of most of the oasis in the largest desert in the world, Sahara, some even being lowered enough to be under the sea level.

Which of the following terms describes an accumulation of rocky, sandy, or clayey material deposited at the end of a glacier?

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Eskers are the long ridges that are comprised of rocks, sands and clay particles and are deposited towards the end of the glaciers. These are fluvioglacial depositional features. These particles are exposed after the glaciers recede. These ridges are formed parallel to the earlier flow direction of ice. The size of eskers is generally smaller as it carries smaller particles such as rocks, sands, and gravels, in comparison to the different type of moraines. It is because the flow velocity decreases as the glaciers melt. So, these eskers are formed at the end of the glaciers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
