Answer:
The new volume of the gas is 32L
Explanation:
P1 = 16atm
V1 = 4L
P2 = atm
V2 = ?
According to Boyle's law, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume provided the temperature remains constant.
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2
V2 = (16 * 4) / 2
V2 = 64 / 2
V2 = 32L
The new volume of the gas is 32L
Explanation:
Whether you choose to use van der Waals radii or metallic radii as a measure of the atomic radius, for metals the ionic radius is smaller than either, so the problem doesn't exist to the same extent. It is true that the ionic radius of a metal is less than its atomic radius (however vague you are about defining this).
I’m pretty sure true, just not your skull at birth hehe. hope this helps :)
