A gas is at a pressure of 12.5psi and a volume of 750mL. What volume will the gas occupy at a pressure of 18psi?

520.8 mL

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Boyle's Law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

Mathematically:

where

p is the pressure

V is the volume

We can rewrite the equation as

where here:

is the initial pressure of the gas

is the initial volume

is the final pressure

And solving for V2, we find the final volume of the gas:

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.
