If I have 4 moles of a gas at a pressure of 5.6 atm and a volume of 12 liters, what is the temperature? (2005 K)

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

205K

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

n = 4moles

P = 5.6atm

V = 12L

R = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

T =?

PV = nRT

T = PV/nR

T = (5.6 x 12)/ (4 x 0.082)

T = 205K

Why might Marie Curie have been motivated to teach the children of beet workers?

pav-90 [236]

Marie curie worked as a governess and she was awarded noble prize for her discoveries.

Explanation:

When Marie curie worked as a governess for three years her employer allowed her to teach reading to the children of peasant workers at his beet sugar factory. This was banned under Russian rule. During that time she studied chemistry lessons from her father by mail.

Marie curie was awarded the Noble prize in chemistry for her discoveries and studies of elements radium and polonium. She is the only women who is awarded the Noble prize twice.

She made her first research into the treatment of tumors with radiation and founded a Curie institutes, that are important medical research centers.

Even though so much energy is required to form a metal cation with a 2+ charge, the alkaline earth metals form halides with gene

nasty-shy [4]

The ∆Hrxn of the reaction is -394.5kJ/mol.

<h3>What is alkaline earth metal? </h3>

The alkaline earth metals are those elements which correspond to group 2 of the modern periodic table.

All elements of this group forms a cation of +2 charge.

The other elements of this group are:

Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.

<h3>What is Halogen? </h3>

The Halogen elements are present in group 17 of the modern periodic table.

All elements of this groups forms anions of -1 charge.

The elements of this group are:

Fluorine, Chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

∆Hrxn = ∆H(bond broken) - ∆H(bond formed)

We have following data of bond energy in kJ/mol:

Mg—Mg = 738

Cl—Cl = -349

Mg—Cl = 783.5

Since, one mole of Mg react with one mole of Cl atom to form one mole of MgCl

∆Hrxn = 738-349-783.5

∆Hrxn = -394.5kJ/mol.

Thus, we concluded that the ∆Hrxn of the reaction is -394.5kJ/mol.

How is beryllium similar to calcium?<br>

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The second column on the periodic table of the chemical elements is collectively called the alkaline earth metal group: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties.

What limitation is placed on electrons in the bohr model of the atom?

Olegator [25]

I thinking the limitation is that a shifting electron will always move from a more excited states to a less excited state. Electrons could not circle the nucleus because they would lose energy by emitting electromagnetic radiation and spiral into the nucleus. In addition Bohr was not able to explain electrons orbits of large atom w/many electrons.
