Answer:
Each of more than one hundred substances that cannot be chemically interconverted or broken down into simpler substances and primary constituents of matter are called element. Each element is distinguished by its atomic number, i.e. the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.

Hope it helps u!

A balloon has a volume of 6.2 liters at 23.2 C. The balloon is then heated to a temperature of 144.0 C. What is the volume of th
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

8.7 L

Explanation:

T2(V1/T1) = V2

417.15 K(6.2 L/296.45 K) = 8.7 L

Remember to almost always change celcius to kelvin. Also, this is part of Charle's Law (temp and volume are proportional, so if temp increaces so must the volume or vice versa). Lastly, Charle's Law has the formula of V1/T1 = V2/T2. I just rearranged it to go along with your problem. Hence, the T2(V1/T1) = V2

Which law relates to the ideal gas law?
Kamila [148]

The equation of state for a hypothetical ideal gas is known as the ideal gas law, sometimes known as the general gas equation. i.e. PV = nRT or P1V1 = P2V2.

  • According to the ideal gas law, the sum of the absolute temperature of the gas and the universal gas constant is equal to the product of the pressure and volume of one gram of an ideal gas.
  • Robert Boyle, Gay-Lussac, and Amedeo Avogadro's observational work served as the basis for the ideal gas law. The Ideal gas equation, which simultaneously describes every relationship, is obtained by combining all of their observations into a single statement.
  • When applying the gas constant R = 0.082 L.atm/K.mol, pressure, volume, and temperature should all be expressed in units of atmospheres (atm), litres (L), and kelvin (K).
  • At high pressure and low temperature, the ideal gas law basically fails because molecule size and intermolecular forces are no longer negligible but rather become significant considerations.

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

Inclined planes reduce the amount of effort needed to move an object, but increases
QveST [7]

Inclined planes reduce the amount of effort needed to move an object, but increases the length of the ramp.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mechanical advantage is the measure of amount of effort needed to move an object. The mechanical advantage can be calculated as the ratio of length of ramp to the height of ramp for an inclined plane.

As it is known that an object can be easily moved on an inclined plane than on a vertical plane, this is because, the inclined plane provides greater output force. But in that case, the effort required will be reduced with the cost of increasing the distance of the movement of object.

In other terms , the ramp's length of inclined planes has to get increased in order to reduce the amount of effort needed to move an object. This is because as the mechanical advantage has length of the ramp in the numerator, with the increase in numerator value or length value the mechanical advantage will also increase.
