Phosphorous would gain or lose electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: the valence electron for phosphorus is 5. To achieve an octet electron arrangement, it needs to lose 5 electrons or gain 3 electrons. It is easier to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.

Room temperature is often assumed to be 25∘c. Calculate the molar volume of an ideal gas at 25∘c and 1 atm pressure.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

  • 24.5 liter / mol

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) T = 25°C = 25 + 273.15K = 298.15 K

b) P = 1 atm

c) assumption: ideal gas

<u>2) Formulae and principles</u>

a) Ideal gas equation: p V = n R T, where:

  • p = pressure
  • V = volume
  • n = number of moles
  • R = universal constant of gases = 0.0821 atm-liter / K-mol
  • T = absolute temperature (Kelvin)

b) Molar volume: ν = V / n, where:

  • ν = molar volume
  • V = volume
  • n = number of moles

<u>3)  Solution:</u>

  • p V = n R T⇒ V/n = ν = RT / p =

                                            = 0.0821 atm-liter / mol-K × 298.15 K / 1 atm

                                            = 24.5 liter / mol

What happens to the entropy of a sample of matter when it changes state from a solid to a liquid?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

  • <em>When a sample of matter changes state from a solid to a liquid, its entropy</em> <u>increases</u>.

Explanation:

The <em>entropy</em> is a thermodinamic variable that measures the disorder of radomness of a substance or system.

In the <em>solid </em>stated the particles (molecules, atoms or ions) are tightly packed, forming an organized structure. So, the particles barely can move, just vibrating around their fixed positions.

In the <em>liquid </em>state the particles are more free to move (that is why liquids flow and take the shape of the vessel in which they are contained).

Then, you can predict that <em>when a matter changes state from a solid to a liquid</em>, the parciles will gain motion leading to a higher disorder, which means that the entropy increases.

Two (2) moles of an ideal gas are in a container at 200 kpa and a temperature of 300 k. The volume occupied by the gas in the co
k0ka [10]

The volume occupied by the gas in the container is 1 m³

Boyles law applies

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

Where P₁ = 200kpa

P₂ = 300kpa

if its initial volume is 1.5

then,

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

200 × 1.5 = 300 × V₂

V₂ = 200 × 1.5 / 300

    = 1 m³

Hence  the volume occupied by the gas container is 1 m³
