7. Justify why these ions do not exist under normal conditions. (a) K2+ (b) 0-

1 answer:

6 0

K^+ can not exists because electrons are removed from an inner shell. The ion O^- can not exist because it will have an incomplete octet.

<h3>Stability of ions</h3>

Ions are species that contain a positive or a negative charge. When we consider the electron configuration of ions, we can deduce the stability of the ion.

Let us consider the electron configuration of K^2+ which is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 which means that the second electron is to be removed from an inner shell which implies greater energy expenditure hence it does not exist.

In the case of O^-, involves the formation of an ion with an incomplete octet which is not possible.

A gas has a pressure of 3.16 atm at STP. I have decided to transfer it to a container that is 3 times larger than the original v

Oliga [24]

Answer:

<u>The new pressure is 1.0533 atm</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

According to<u> Boyle's Law :</u> The Pressure of fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to Volume at constant temperature.

PV = Constant

P1V1 = P2V2

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$ .....(1)

P1 = 3.16 atm

Accprding to question ,

V1 = V

V2 = 3 V

Insert the value of V1 , V2 and P1 in the equation(1)

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$

$3.16\times V=P_{2}\times 3V$

V and V cancel each other

$3.16=P_{2}\times 3$

$P_{2}=\frac{3.16}{3}$

$P_{2}=1.05atm$

how can you make the gravitational force between two 50kg objects less than the gravitational force between two 5kg objects

Paraphin [41]

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two 50kg objects could be less than the gravitational force between a 50kg and a 5kg object if the two 50kg objects are much farther apart.
