Answer:
5.55 L
Explanation:
This excersise can be solved by the Boyle's law.
This law for gases states that the pressure of a gas in a vessel is inversely proportional to the volume of the vessel.
P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂
The law comes from the Ideal Gases Law, in the first term.
P . V = n . R . T In this case, n . R . T are all constant.
6.35 L . 88.6 kPa = 101.3 kPa . V₂
V₂ = (6.35 L . 88.6 kPa) / 101.3 kPa
V₂ = 5.55 L
It is inversely proportional because, as it happened in this case, pressure was increased, therefore volume decreased.
Answer:
Sodium (Na)
Explanation:
The element on the periodic table at Column (group) 1, period 3 is Sodium (Na)
You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.
Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.
