MaRussiya [10]3 years ago

Explanation:

Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides while they react with water to form alkaline solutions. Also, acidic oxides are oxides of nonmetals and they react with water to form acidic solutions.

Trends on the period table shows the variation of metallic character as you move across and down the periodic table. Metallic character of a element decreases across the period on the periodic table from left to right because atoms readily accept electrons in their outermost shell to form stable configurations. Metallic character increases as you move down the group in the periodic table and this is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases (more outer shells are added), where there is decreasing attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons.

So down the group, the acidity of oxide reaction with water decreases because the oxides are more basic down the group while across the period, the acidity of oxide increases because acidic oxides are formed as we move across the period.

If a certain gas occupies a volume of 10. L when the applied pressure is 5.0 atm , find the pressure when the gas occupies a vol
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

20L is the new volume

Explanation:

In this case, moles and T° from the gas remain constant. This is the formula we must apply, to solve this:

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

5 atm . 10 L = P₂ . 2.5L

P₂ = (5 atm . 10 L) / 2.5L →20L

How many grams are in 3.14 x 1015 molecules of CO?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Not Many

1 mol of CO has a mass of

C = 12

O = 16

1 mol = 28 grams.

1 mol of molecules = 6.02 * 10^23

x mol of molecules = 3.14 * 10^15        Cross multiply

6.02*10^23 x = 1 * 3.14 * 10^15             Divide by 6.02*10^23

x = 3.14*10^15 / 6.02*10^23

x = 0.000000005 mols

x = 5*10^-9

1 mol of CO has a mass of 28

5*10^-9 mol of CO has a mass of x                        Cross Multiply

x = 5 * 10^-9 * 28

x = 1.46 * 10^-7 grams

Answer: there are 1.46 * 10-7 grams of CO if only 3.14 * 10^15 molecules are in the sample
