<h2>Hello!</h2>

The correct answer is A: Water molecules evaporate and condense at the same rate.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Evaporation is defined as the physical change from liquid to gas, and Condensation is the physical change from gas to liquid.

At any given temperature, these two processes occur at once, in a dynamic equilibrium.

When the lid is closed, evaporation occurs faster than condensation, and pressure increases. Then, when pressure reaches a critical value, condensation starts to occur faster than evaporation, until an equilibrium is reached, and the pressure of the water molecules in the gas phase is maximum for that temperature. The pressure at that point is called Vapor Pressure.

Have a nice day!

The reaction P4 +502P4010 + 712 kcal is
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The reaction is exothermic (option 4)

Explanation:

P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 + 712 kcal

In chemical reactions heat can be absorbed or released:

⇒in the first case, when heat is absorbed, this is called an endothermic reaction. The products have more energy than the reactants. The reaction requires or absorbs energy from it's surroundings.  That means  that in this reaction energy , in the form of heat, will be absorbed by the reactants.

⇒ when heat is released, this is called an exothermic reaction. The reactants have more energy than the products. The reaction gives or releases energy to it's surroundings.  That means  that in this reaction energy , in the form of heat, will be released by the reactants.

in the case of P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 + 712 kcal

We notice that on the right side, which is the product side, there is a positive amount of energy. This means that the energy is released by the the reactants, in this reaction. <u>The reaction is exothermic.</u>

When the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure, the liquid
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The liquid will boil.

Explanation:

Boiling will occur when the vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. This is called the boiling point. Without any external pressure the liquid molecules will be able to spread out and change from a liquid to a gas.

Which factor can increase a population rate
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Factors that cause population growth include increased food production, improved health care services, immigration and high birth rate. These factors have led to overpopulation, which has more negative effects than positive impacts. The world population today is over 7 billion and the number is increasing with each passing year.

Hope this helps!

A neutral atom in the ground state of Sulfur has its outer most valence electron in which orbital? f d
Natasha_Volkova [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The outermost valence electron enters the p orbital.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in outer most orbital of an atom.

Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having 16 electrons.

Electronic configuration of sulfur atom is 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

The number of valence electrons are 2 + 4 = 6

These 6 electrons enter s-orbital and p-orbital but the outermost valence electron will enter the p-orbital.

Hence, the outermost valence electron enters p orbital.
