As given that the

a) temperature is same for both the metals

b) the volume of both the cubes is same (Same dimension)

The metals are sodium and calcium

Sodium has atomic number = 11

the electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

It will attain noble gas configuration by easily losing one electron only

calcium has atomic number = 20

the electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

It will attain noble gas configuration by donating two electrons so calcium is less reactive than sodium

hence the difference in the rate of reaction is most closely associated with the different nature of the metals

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

V₂ =31.8 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial  volume of gas = 45 mL

Initial temperature = 135°C (135+273 =408 K)

Final temperature = 15°C (15+273 =288 K)

Final volume of gas = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 45 mL × 288 K / 408 k

V₂ = 12960 mL.K / 408 K

V₂ =31.8 mL

On the graph, which shows the potential energy curve of two N atoms, carefully sketch a curve that corresponds to the potential
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

We are to carefully sketch a curve that relates to the potential energy of two O atoms versus the distance between their nuclei.

From the diagram, O2 have higher potential energy than the N2 molecule. Because on the periodic table, the atomic size increases from left to right on across the period, thus O2 posses a larger atomic size than N2 atom.

Therefore, the bond length formation between the two O atoms will be larger compared to that of the two N atoms.

A 20.0 -\,L volume of an ideal gas in a cylinder with a piston is at a pressure of 3.2 atm. Enough weight is suddenly removed fr
zzz [600]

Answer:

1. ΔE = 0 J

2. ΔH = 0 J

3. q = 3.2 × 10³ J

4. w = -3.2 × 10³ J

Explanation:

The change in the internal energy (ΔE) and the change in the enthalpy (ΔH) are functions of the temperature. If the temperature is constant, ΔE = 0 and ΔH = 0.

The gas initially occupies a volume V₁ = 20.0 L at P₁ = 3.2 atm. When the pressure changes to P₂ = 1.6 atm, we can find the volume V₂ using Boyle's law.

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

3.2 atm × 20.0 L = 1.6 atm × V₂

V₂ = 40 L

The work (w) can be calculated using the following expression.

w = - P . ΔV

where,

P is the external pressure for which the process happened

ΔV is the change in the volume

w = -1.6 atm × (40L - 20.0L) = -32 atm.L × (101.325 J/1atm.L) = -3.2 × 10³ J

The change in the internal energy is:

ΔE = q + w

0 = q + w

q = - w = 3.2 × 10³ J
