Answer:

It's important that we understand how the climate is changing so that we can prepare for the future. Studying the climate helps us predict how much rain the next winter might bring, or how far sea levels will rise due to warmer sea temperatures.

Weather is the state of the atmosphere at any given time and place.

Climate is the long-term average of the weather in a given place

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 . How many valence electrons does this Atom have

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.

Approximately 6.81 × 10⁵ Pa.

Assumption: carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Look up the relative atomic mass of carbon and oxygen on a modern periodic table:

C: 12.011;
O: 15.999.

Calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide $\rm CO_2$ :

$M\!\left(\mathrm{CO_2}\right) = 12.011 + 2\times 15.999 = 44.009\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Find the number of moles of molecules in that $41.1\;\rm g$ sample of $\rm CO_2$ :

$n = \dfrac{m}{M} = \dfrac{41.1}{44.009} \approx 0.933900\; \rm mol$ .

If carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas, it should satisfy the ideal gas equation when it is inside a container:

$P \cdot V = n \cdot R \cdot T$ ,

where

$P$ is the pressure inside the container.
$V$ is the volume of the container.
$n$ is the number of moles of particles (molecules, or atoms in case of noble gases) in the gas.
$R$ is the ideal gas constant.
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas.

Rearrange the equation to find an expression for $P$ , the pressure inside the container.

$\displaystyle P = \frac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{V}$ .

Look up the ideal gas constant in the appropriate units.

$R = 8.314 \times 10^3\; \rm L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Evaluate the expression for $P$ :

$\begin{aligned} P &=\rm \frac{0.933900\; mol \times 8.314 \times 10^3 \; L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1} \times 298\; K}{3.4\; L} \cr &\approx \rm 6.81\times 10^5\; Pa \end{aligned}$ .

Apply dimensional analysis to verify the unit of pressure.
