The answer is B. Below freezing
Answer is: a. Rubidium (Rb) is more reactive than strontium (Sr) because strontium atoms must lose more electrons.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
Alkaline metals (group 1), in this example rubidium, have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), they are most reactive metals.
Earth alkaline metals (group 2), in this example strontium, have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons, they are less reactive.
Rubidium electron configuration: ₃₇Rb 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s¹; one valence electron is 5s¹ orbital.
Strontium electron configuration: ₃₈Sr 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s²; two valence electrons is 5s² orbital.
Answer:
The volume of CO2 produced is 6.0 L (option D)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of oxygen = 3.0 L
Carbon monoxide = CO = in excess
Step 2: The balanced equation
2 CO (g) + O2 (g) → 2 CO2 (g)
Step 3: Calculate moles of O2
1 mol of gas at STP = 22.4 L
3.0 L = 0.134 moles
Step 3: Calculate moles of CO2
For 2 moles CO we need 1 mol of O2 to produce 2 moles of CO2
For 0.134 moles O2 we'll have 2*0.134 = 0.268 moles CO2
Step 4: Calculate volume of CO2
1 mol = 22.4 L
0.268 mol = 22.4 * 0.268 = 6.0 L
The volume of CO2 produced is 6.0 L
1 kpa = 7.5 mm of Hg [Remember it or can be found on internet ]
So, 275 kpa = 7.5 x 275 = 2062.5 mm of Hg
This works because it demonstrates that as volume increases, pressure decreases (inverse relationship)
