Fantom [35]

Answer:

537.68 torr.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and V are constant, and have different values of P and T:

<em>(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁).</em>

P₁ = 485 torr, T₁ = 40°C + 273 = 313 K,

P₂ = ??? torr, ​T₂ = 74°C + 273 = 347 K.

∴ P₂ = (P₁T₂)/(P₁) = (485 torr)(347 K)/(313 K) = 537.68 torr.

To which period does an element belong if it has its 3d orbitals filled
swat32

fourth period

The third period is similar to the second, except the 3s and 3p sublevels are being filled. Because the 3d sublevel does not fill until after the 4s sublevel, the fourth period contains 18 elements, due to the 10 additional electrons that can be accommodated by the 3d orbitals.
