Answer:- work = 319 J

Solution:- The volume of the gas decreases from 5.35 L to 1.55 L.

\Delta V=1.55L-5.35L  = -3.80 L

external pressure is given as 0.829 atm.

w=-P_e_x_t\Delta V

where w is representing work.

Let's plug in the values and calculate pressure-volume work:

w=-0.829atm(-3.80L)

w = 3.15 atm.L

We need to convert atm.L to J.

1 atm.L = 101.325 J

So, 3.15atm.L(\frac{101.325J}{1atm.L})

= 319 J

So, 319 J of work is involved in a chemical reaction. Positive work means the work is done on the system.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a.  3.72 [atm]

Explanation:

For a gas at constant temperature, (with no change in number of molecules of the gas), we can apply Boyle's Law:  P_1V_1=P_2V_2

(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL])=P_2(112.4[mL])

\dfrac{(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}])}{112.4[mL \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}]}=\dfrac{P_2(112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----})}{112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----}}

3.716957[atm]=P_2

It seems like the answer should have 4 significant figures since all of the other quantities have 4 significant figures, but the closest answer choice of those provided is a.  3.72

What statement is true about the eight elements on the periodic table termed metalloids?
valina [46]

Answer:

They have properties of both metals and nonmetals

Explanation:

  • Elements in the periodic table may be divided into Metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
  • Metals are the elements that react by losing electrons to form stable positively charged ions known as cations. Examples are group 1, 2, and 3 elements together with transition elements.
  • Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form stable negatively charged ions called anions. Examples include oxygen, carbon, sulfur, etc.
  • Metalloids, on the other hand, are elements that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
  • Metalloids occur between metals and non-metals in the periodic table. Examples include Boron and silicon among others.
