The work function (ϕ) of a metal is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from its surface. (a) Is it easier to remove an electron from a gaseous silver atom or from the surface of solid silver (ϕ = 7.59×10−19 J; IE = 731 kJ/mol)? (b) Explain the results in terms of the electron-sea model of metallic bonding.

Explanation:

solid silver:

457 < 731; it is easier to remove electrons from surface of solid silver

b) overlap of orbitals results in a continuous energy band so that electrons can easily transition to higher energies and be removed.

lol idk man i guess u gotta ask bill nye the science guy

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation

this is not my own answer, this is an answer for the same question by the user blahblahmali. i do not claim ownership of this account.
