Decide which element probably forms a compound with oxygen that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical formula of the compound formed by oxygen and barium.

a. magnesium

b. nitrogen

Explanation:

Barium and magnesium  are both in 2nd group, so most similar compounds.

Nitrogen - 15 group, so  it forms least similar to barium compound.

let that person have a turn to speak : )

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
