Ar (g) is placed in a 3.80 L container at 320 K. The gas pressure is 0.496 atm.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

PV=nRt

Therefore n(number of moles)=PV/RT

=>(0.49×3.80)/(0.08206×320)

Therefore Number of moles is = 0.071mols

Explanation: By using the Real gas equation..

PV=NRT .

We can solve for the number of moles of Ar by making N the subject..

Always make sure you pressure is In atm, your Volume is in Litres and temperature in degree Kelvin.

Also Recall the universal gas constant R used in this type of questions which is 0.08206.

Hence l, by making N the subject we get our answer as

Why are there 2 chloride ions for every 1 calcium in calcium chloride
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Calcium is divalent. This means that it donates two electrons during ionic bond formation. Since chlorine atom can only accept one electron during ionic bond formation, two chlorine atoms must accept the two electrons donated by calcium.

For this purpose, each time CaCl2 is formed, there must be two chlorine atoms for each calcium atom.
