You have a red ballooe that has a volume of 20 liters, a pressure of 1.5 atmospheres and a temperature of 28 C. What is the volu

ki77a [65]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$P_{1}$ = 1.5 atm, $V_{1}$ = 20 L, $T_{1}$ = (28 + 273) K = 301 K

$P_{2}$ = 5 atm, $V_{2}$ = ?, $T_{2}$ = (50 + 273) K = 323 K

Formula to calculate the volume will be as follows.

$\frac{P_{1} \times V_{1}}{T_{1}}$ = $\frac{P_{2} \times V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\frac{P_{1} \times V_{1}}{T_{1}}$ = $\frac{P_{2} \times V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

$\frac{1.5 atm \times 20 L}{301 K}$ = $\frac{5 atm \times V_{2}}{323 K}$

$V_{2}$ = 0.64 L

Thus, we can conclude that the change in volume of the balloon will be 0.64 L.

If an atom has three shell and number of valence electrons are two. Is this element metal

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Metal

Element: Calcium

Valency: 2

Explanation:

To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)

We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.

Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right

We end up at Calcium.

Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.

Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
