Chemistry

Mumz [18]3 years ago

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.

A sample of gas in a 14.6 L flexible container is at 25.0oC and 1.00atm. What is the volume of the sample when heated to 220.0oC
inn [45]

Answer: 24.1 L

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

V_1=14.6L\\T_1=25.0^oC=(25+273)K=298K\\V_2=?\\T_2=220.0^0C=(220+273)K=493K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{14.6}{298K}=\frac{V_2}{493}\\\\V_2=24.1L

Thus the volume of the sample when heated to 220.0oC and the pressure is constant is 24.1 L

Answer:

32

Explanation:

0.56dm of gas has 0.8g

22.4dm of gas Z has a mass of 22.4/0.56X0.8

the relative molecular mass of gas Z is 32

Why does group 18 in the periodic table not form ions?
alukav5142 [94]
Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements: 
- They have 8 valence electrons. 
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable). 
- Are stable 
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases

Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions: 

Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive. 

Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond. 

That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond. 

I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.
