A) solid
b)liquid
c)liquid
d)gas
Answer:
B) Their valence shell is full
Explanation:
In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.
A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.

Answer:
The percentage efficiency of the electrical element is approximately 82.186%
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The thermal energy provided by the stove element, 
= 3.34 × 10³ J
The amount thermal energy gained by the kettle, 
= 5.95 × 10² J
The percentage efficiency of the electrical element in heating the kettle of water, η%, is given as follows;
Therefore, we get;
The percentage efficiency of the electrical element, η% ≈ 82.186%.

Answer:</h3>
20.62 Kilo-joules
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- The Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl alcohol is -950 kJ/mol.
- This means that 1 mole of ethyl alcohol evolves a quantity of heat of 950 Joules when burned.
Molar mass of ethyl ethanol = 46.08 g/mol
Therefore;
46.08 g of C₂H₅OH evolves heat equivalent to 950 kilojoules
We can calculate the amount of heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH
Heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH = Molar enthalpy of combustion ÷ Molar mass
= 950 kJ/mol ÷ 46.08 g/mol
= 20.62 Kj/g
Therefore, a gram of C₂H₅OH will evolve 20.62 kilo-joules of heat
Answer:
The equilibrium shifts to the left, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) decreases
Explanation:
Whenever a solution of an ionic substance comes into contact with another ionic compound with which it shares a common ion, the solubility of the ionic substance in solution decreases significantly.
In this case, both BaSO4 and Na2SO4 both possess the SO4^2- anion. Hence SO4^2- anion is the common ion. Given the equilibrium;
BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq), addition of Na2SO4 will decrease the solubility of BaSO4 due to the presence of a common SO4^2- anion compared to pure water.
This implies that the equilibrium will shift to the left, (more undissoctiated BaSO4) hence decreasing the Ba^2+(aq) concentration.
