<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is 1.6 atm.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We know that there is a sample gas which has a volume of 2.4 L with a pressure 1.2 atm and we are to find the pressure of the same gas sample if its volume is reduced to 1.8 L at a constant temperature.
We will apply the Boyle's law here which states that the "pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature".
<em>
</em>
Substituting the values in the formula to get:
Therefore, the pressure of the same gas sample will be 1.6 atm if the volume is reduced to 1.8 L at a constant temperature.
Answer:
Iron (Fe)
Explanation:
The number of electrons (-) is usually the same as the number of protons (+) in the atom of the element (unless it is an ion).
The element described has 26 electrons, so we can assume that it has 26 protons as well. The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number of element that the atom is.
Element 26 on the PTE is Iron (Fe), which does rust (oxidation) in air and water.
The four states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
Solid: a solid object has a definite volume and shape i.e. A box
Liquid: liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape i.e. Water
Plasma: plasma has some of the properties of gas but it's a good trainer of electricity and is a affected in a magnetic field i.e. A star
Gas: gas does not have a definite shape or volume so it takes the shoe of its container i.e. Balloon
Heating the reaction flask on a hot plate is an example of supplying activation energy to begin a reaction.
Explanation:
<u>Definition:</u>
Activation energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to start a particular chemical reaction.
For example: When hydrogen and oxygen are mixed together it does not immediately start the reaction to form water. So, to start the reaction a small electric spark is provided or it is heated to provide some energy. This energy causes the molecules of hydrogen and water to react, thus producing even more molecules to react and finally water is formed.
Here the electric spark or the heat provided is the activation energy.
Option A is correct answer.
According to octet rule, atoms have tendency to lose, gain and share electrons to complete its octet i.e. eight valence electrons are surrounded to the atom.
Since, sulphur contains six valence electrons and two chlorine atoms are present in the reaction having seven valence electrons. Thus, to complete their octet, chlorine shares a pair of electrons with the sulphur atom.
