Explanation:

When we move across a period from left to right then there will occur an increase in electronegativity and also there will occur an increase in non-metallic character of the elements.

As sulfur (S) is a group 16 element and chlorine (Cl) is a group 17 element. Hence, sulfur (S) is more metallic in nature than chlorine.

This means that chlorine (S) is less metallic than chlorine (Cl).

Both indium (I) and aluminium (Al) are group 13 elements. And, when we move down a group then there occur an increase in non-metallic character of the elements. As indium belongs to group 13 and period 5 whereas aluminium belongs to group 13 and period 3.

Therefore, aluminium (Al) is more metallic than indium (In).

Arsenic (Ar) is a group 15 element and bromine (Br) is a group 17 element. Therefore, arsenic is more metallic than bromine.

1‑Propanol ( P⁰ 1 = 20.9 Torr at 25 ⁰C ) and 2‑propanol ( P⁰ 2 = 45.2 Torr at 25 ⁰C ) form ideal solutions in all proportions. L

anastassius [24]

Answer : The mole fraction of vapor phase 1‑Propanol and 2‑Propanol is, 0.352 and 0.648 respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Vapor presume of 1‑Propanol $(P^o_1)$ = 20.9 torr

Vapor presume of 2‑Propanol $(P^o_2)$ = 45.2 torr

Mole fraction of 1‑Propanol $(x_1)$ = 0.540

Mole fraction of 2‑Propanol $(x_2)$ = 1-0.540 = 0.46

First we have to calculate the partial pressure of 1‑Propanol and 2‑Propanol.

$p_1=x_1\times p^o_1$

where,

$p_1$ = partial vapor pressure of 1‑Propanol

$p^o_1$ = vapor pressure of pure substance 1‑Propanol

$x_1$ = mole fraction of 1‑Propanol

$p_1=(0.540)\times (20.9torr)=11.3torr$

and,

$p_2=x_2\times p^o_2$

where,

$p_2$ = partial vapor pressure of 2‑Propanol

$p^o_2$ = vapor pressure of pure substance 2‑Propanol

$x_2$ = mole fraction of 2‑Propanol

$p_2=(0.46)\times (45.2torr)=20.8torr$

Thus, total pressure = 11.3 + 20.8 = 32.1 torr

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of vapor phase 1‑Propanol and 2‑Propanol.

$\text{Mole fraction of 1-Propanol}=\frac{\text{Partial pressure of 1-Propanol}}{\text{Total pressure}}=\frac{11.3}{32.1}=0.352$

and,

$\text{Mole fraction of 2-Propanol}=\frac{\text{Partial pressure of 2-Propanol}}{\text{Total pressure}}=\frac{20.8}{32.1}=0.648$

Thus, the mole fraction of vapor phase 1‑Propanol and 2‑Propanol is, 0.352 and 0.648 respectively.

calcium reacts with fluorine to produce calcium fluoride. how does oxidation and reduction take place in this reaction?

Assoli18 [71]

The oxidation is occurring on Calcium ions as it release one electron and reduction will be occurring on fluorine ion as it accepts one electron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An element will undergo oxidation and form a positive ion on releasing one or more electrons from its valence shell. While reduction is occurred in a chemical reaction, then the element will be forming a negative ion with the acceptance of one or more electrons in its valence shell.

So in the given process of calcium fluoride, the one electron from the valence shell of calcium will be released making it as $c a^{+}$ ions and this is termed as oxidation process. This one electron will be getting accepted by the fluorine ion and thus it will convert to $F^{-}$ ions. This process of acceptance of electrons is termed as reduction.

These are 3 questions in one but i really need help i put the most points i could give and i’ll give Brainliest !!

Answer:

1) 950 mL

2) 625 mmHg

3) 426 mL

Explanation:

1) This is the relationship between pressure and volume. This relationship looks like this:

P1*V1 = P2*V2

This means the first pressure times the initial volume is equal to the second pressure times the second volume. We are solving for the second volume. First, convert the mmHg to atm and the mL to L.

1 L * 1 atm = 1.053 atm * X

X = 0.95 L or 950 mL

2) This is the same concept as the last one. :) We don't have to convert the mmHg to atm since the answer wants it in mmHg.

750 mmHg * 0.25 L = 0.3 L * X

X = 625 mmHg

3) The relationship between volume and temperature is similar to the one between pressure and temperature (like the problem in your last question). Remember to convert degrees C to Kelvin and mL to L.

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

0.4 L / 303 K = X / 323 K

X = 0.426 L pr 426 mL

These problems become much easier once you learn the relationships between the different variables (temp, pressure, volume, etc.) When you have a problem like this, I like to first determine what relationship I am dealing with and then write out what I have and what I am solving for. This helps with organizing the problem. Then just solve it like a normal algebra problem. Always remember to convert temp to Kelvin, mL to L, and pressure to atm (unless it wants it in a different unit, then just make sure all the units match).

Good luck with you studies! :)
