Answer:

8 valence electrons

Explanation:

We are given the atom has 10 electrons.

The first electron shell holds 2 electrons (maximum)

The second electron shell holds 8 electrons (maximum)

2+8=10

Therefore we would have 2 electrons in the first shell and 8 in the second.

Valence electrons are the outermost electron, and since the second shell is the outermost for the atom, it has 8 valence electrons.

Methanol and butanol are alcohols. Alcohols have the same_______________ as alkanes and the __________ identifies the compound a

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Methanol and butanol are alcohols. Alcohols have the same_______________ as alkanes and the __________ identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Explanation:

Alcohols belong to a group of organic compounds which contain -OH group as the functional group.

So alcohols have the same carbon -hydrogen bonds as alkanes and the -OH functional group identifies the compound as an alcohol.

A sample of mass 6.814 grams is added to another sample weighing 0.08753 grams.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

17.5609g

Explanation:

According to the question, a sample of mass 6.814 grams is added to another sample weighing 0.08753 grams. That is weight of sample 1 + weight of sample 2;

6.814 + 0.08753 = 6.90153grams

Next, the subsequent mixture is then divided into exactly 3 equal parts i.e. 6.90153grams divided by 3

= 6.90153/3

= 2.30051grams.

One of the equal parts is 2.30051grams, which is then multiplied by 7.6335 times I.e. 2.30051 × 7.6335 = 17.5609grams

Therefore, the final mass is 17.5609grams

A 256 mL sample of HCl gas is in a flask where it exerts a force (pressure) of 67.5 mmHg. What is the pressure of the gas if it

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The pressure in the new flask would be $128\; \rm mmHg$ if the $\rm HCl$ here acts like an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Assume that the $\rm HCl$ sample here acts like an ideal gas. By Boyle's Law, the pressure $P$ of the gas should be inversely proportional to its volume $V$ .

For example, let the initial volume and pressure of the sample be $V_1$ and $P_1$ . The new volume $V_2$ and pressure $P_2$ of this sample shall satisfy the equation: $P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2$ .

In this question,

The initial volume of the gas is $V_1= 256\; \rm mL$ .
The initial pressure of the gas is $P_1 = 67.5\; \rm mmHg$ .
The new volume of the gas is $V_2 = 135\; \rm mL$ .

The goal is to find the new pressure of this gas, $P_2$ .

Assume that this sample is indeed an ideal gas. Then the equation $P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2$ should still hold. Rearrange the equation to separate the unknown, $P_2$ . Note: make sure that the units for $V_1$ and $V_2$ are the same before evaluating. That way, the unit of

$\begin{aligned} & P_2\\ &= \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{V_2} \\ &= \frac{256\; \rm mL \times 67.5\; \rm mmHg}{135\; \rm mL} \\ & \approx 128\; \rm mmHg\end{aligned}$ .
