The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the observation that main group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas

Hey there.

By adding up all the "exponents," you'll get a number of 19. By looking at a periodic table, the element of such an atomic number is potassium or K.

A cylindrical glass tube of length 27.4cm and radius 4 cm is filled with gas. The empty tube has a mass of 254.3 g. The tube fil

Temka [501]

Density of the gas is 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Volume of the cylinder = π r² h

where r is the radius and h is the height of the height or the length of the glass tube.

Here r = 4 cm and h = 27.4 cm

Volume of the cylinder = 3.14 × 4 × 4 × 27.4 = 1376.6 cm³

We have to find the mass of the gas by subtracting the mass of the tube filled with the substance from the mass of the empty tube.

Mass of the substance = 258.5 - 254.3 = 4.2 g

We have to find the density using the formula as,

$$ Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

Plugin the values as,

$$ Density = \frac{4.2}{1376.6}$

= 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³

So the Density of the gas is 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³.
