Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The element potassium is a metal, non-metal or metalloid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Metals:
Metals are the elements which are shiny materials and good conductors of heat and electricity. All metals are solids at room temperature except for mercury, which is a liquid.
Non-metals:
Nonmetals are the elements which do not have a shiny appearance and non-metals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Metalloids:
Metalloids are the elements which have properties intermediate between metals and non-metals. Only seven elements are categorized as metalloids.
(b)
Interpretation:
The element plutonium is a metal, non-metal or metalloid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The element Sulfur is a metal, non-metal or metalloid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
The element antimony is a metal, non-metal or metalloid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:

- Given that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardA bottle contains 1.0 mol He(g) and a second bottle contains 1.0 mol Ar(g) at the same temperature. At that temperature, the root mean square speed of He is 1477 m⋅s−1 and that of Ar is 467 m⋅s−1. What is the ratio of the number of He atoms in the first bottle to the number of Ar atoms in the second bottle having these speeds? Assume that both gases behave ideally.arrow_forward(a) An ideal gas occupies a volume of 2.2 cm3 at 20°C and atmospheric pressure. Determine the number of molecules of gas in the container. (b) If the pressure of the 2.2-cm3 volume is reduced to 2.6 ✕ 10−11 Pa (an extremely good vacuum) while the temperature remains constant, how many moles of gas remain in the container?arrow_forward
- To what temperature must 76.3 g of krypton be raised in order to have the same rootmean-squared speed of 32.4 g of O2 at room temperature (25 °C)?arrow_forwardA gas mixture being used to simulate the atmosphere of another planet consists of 320 mg of methane, 175 mg of argon, and 225 mg of nitrogen. The partial pressure of nitrogen at 300 K is 15.2 kPa. Calculate (a) the volume and (b) the total pressure of the mixture.arrow_forwardChlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish-yellow gas used in the bleaching of paper pulp. Calculate the root mean square speed of a ClO2 molecule at 48 degrees Celcius.arrow_forward
- Cylinders of compressed gas are typically filled to a pressure of 200 bar. For oxygen, what would be the molar volume at this pressure and 25 °C based on (i) the perfect gas equation, (ii) the van der Waals equation? For oxygen, a = 1.364 dm6 atm mol−2, b = 3.19 × 10–2 dm3 mol−1.arrow_forwardAt what pressure does the mean free path of argon at 20 °C become comparable to 10 times the diameters of the atoms themselves? Take σ = 0.36 nm2.arrow_forward(5) Using the data in Table 1C.3 (from the textbook), calculate the pressure that 2.500 moles of carbon dioxide confined in a volume of 1.000 L at 450 K exerts. Compare the pressure with that calculated assuming ideal-gas behavior.arrow_forward

Calculate (a) their partial pressures and (b) the total pressure.arrow_forwardA 1.0 dm3 glass bulb contains 1.0 x 1023 H2 molecules. If the pressure exerted by the gas is 100 kPa. what is (a) the temperature of the gas, (b) the root mean square speeds of the molecules? (c) Would the temperature be different if they were O2 molecules?arrow_forward5. A vessel of volume 22.4 dm3 contains 2.0 mol H2 and 1.0 mol N2 at 273.15 K. Calculate (a) the mole fractions of each component, (b) their partial pressures, and (c) their total pressure.arrow_forward
