Chlorine is widely used to purify municipal water supplies and to treat swimming pool waters. suppose that the volume of a particular sample of cl2 gas is 8.80 l at 895 torr and 25 ∘c. at what pressure will the volume equal 5.90 l if the temperature is 56 ∘c?

1474.0 torr.

Explanation:

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

P₁V₁T₂ = P₂V₂T₁

P₁ = 895.0 torr, V₁ = 8.8 L, T₁ = 25°C + 273 = 298 K.

P₂ = ??? torr, V₂ = 5.9 L, T₂ = 56°C + 273 = 329 K.

∴ P₂ = P₁V₁T₂/V₂T₁ = (895.0 torr)(8.8 L)(329 K)/(5.9 L)(298 K) = 1474.0 torr.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
