Table Salt or NaCl is composed of sodium and chlorine. While the individual elements of sodium and chlorine are very reactive, t

ogether they form a popular cooking and baking ingredient. In order to form a salt, an electron must be transferred from one element to the other. Which element (Na or Cl) is more likely to steal an outer electron from the other? Why?

Answer:

Chlorine is more likely to steal a valence electron from sodium.

Explanation:

Sodium is number 11 on the periodic table with one valence electron. Belonging to the first group, it's one of the alkali metal, which are known to be highly reactive. Chlorine is number 17 with seven valence electrons, and it's in the second-to-last group of halogens--also very reactive.

Considering that elements with one valence electron are just about 100% likely to give up electrons to reach a stable state, sodium would be the element that is more likely to lose its valence electron to chlorine. In other words, chlorine would be the electron thief.

A sample of Ne gas has a pressure of 654 mmHg with an unknown volume. The gas has a pressure of 345 mmHg when the volume is 495m
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The initial volume of Ne gas is 261mL

Explanation:

This question can be answered using Ideal Gas Equation;

However, the following are the given parameters

Initial Pressure = 654mmHg

Finial Pressure = 345mmHg

Final Volume = 495mL

Required

Initial Volume?

The question says that Temperature is constant;

This implies that, we'll make use of Boyle's law ideal gas equation which states;

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Where P_1 represent the initial pressure

P_2 represent the final pressure

T_1 represent the initial temperature

T_2 represent the final temperature

P_1 = 654mmHg\\P_2 = 345mmHg\\V_2 = 495mL

Substitute these values in the formula above;

654 * V_1 = 345 * 495

654V_1 = 170775

Divide both sides by 654

\frac{654V_1}{654} = \frac{170775}{654}

V_1 = \frac{170775}{654}

V_1 = 261.123853211

V_1 = 261mL (Approximated)

<em>The initial volume of Ne gas is 261mL</em>

Suppose a liquid level from 5.5 to 8.6 m is linearly converted to pneumatic pressure from 3 to 15 psi. What pressure will result
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) P = 9.58 psi for  h=7.2 m

b) P=4.7 psi for h=5.94 m

Explanation:

Since the pressure Pon a static liquid level h is

P= p₀ + ρ*g*h

where p₀= initial pressure , ρ=density , g = gravity

then he variation of the liquid level Δh will produce a variation of pressure of

ΔP= ρ*g*Δh → ΔP/Δh =  ρ*g = ( 15 psi - 3 psi) /( 8.6 m - 5.5 m)  = 12/3.1 psi/m

if the liquid level is converted linearly

P = P₁ + ΔP/Δh*(h -h₁)

therefore choosing  P₁ = 3 psi and h₁= 5.5 m , for h=7.2 m

P = 3 psi  + 12/3.1 psi/m *(7.2 m -5.5 m) = 9.58 psi

then P = 9.58 psi for  h=7.2 m

for P=4.7 psi

4.7 psi = 3 psi  + 12/3.1 psi/m *(h -5.5 m)

h = (4.7 psi - 3 psi)/ (12/3.1 psi/m) + 5.5 m = 5.94 m

then P=4.7 psi for h=5.94 m

Thallium has two stable isotopes, 203tl and 205tl. knowing that the atomic weight of thallium is 204.4, which isotope is the mor
Elza [17]
You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.

The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).

203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4

Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.

After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.

203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6

x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7

Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.
