Papessa [141]3 years ago

Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.

Question 4 (1 point)
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

In an endothermic reaction products are <u>HIGHER </u>than reactants in potential energy and <u>LESS </u>stable.

Explanation:

Energy is input into the reaction in an endothermic reaction. This means the products are of a higher energy level than the reactants. Therefore the reaction increases Gibb's free energy and reduces entropy. Remember in thermodynamic stability involves an increase in entropy and a decrease in Gibbs free energy. Therefore the products are less stable than the reactants. This is why endothermic reactions do not occur spontaneously like exothermic reactions.

The atmospheric pressure will be:

The pressure of the atmosphere resulting from the mercury column is 0.959 atm

What is atmospheric pressure?

The force that an object experiences from the weight of the air above it per unit area are known as atmospheric pressure.

Given: Height of mercury column = 729 mm Hg

To find: The pressure of the atmosphere

Calculation:

The atmospheric column resulting from the mercury column is calculated as follows:

1 atm =760 mm Hg

So, we can convert the 729 mm Hg to atm, and we get

Atmospheric pressure = 729 x 1 atm / 760 = 0.959 atm

Express 6009m in scientific notation
Andre45 [30]
6.009 x 10^3. You have to put 6009 into a decimal that is less than 10. Count backwards from 9 until you get to a single digit. You would move the decimal back three places making it 10^3
