•6.5 L of a gas has a pressure of 840 mmHg and temperature of 84 0C. What will be its volume at STP

5.5 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Convert T₁ to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

K = 84 °C + 273.15 = 357 K

Step 3: Calculate the final volume of the gas

We will use the combined gas law.

P₁ × V₁ / T₁ = P₂ × V₂ / T₂

V₂ = P₁ × V₁ × T₂ / T₁ × P₂

V₂ = 840 mmHg × 6.5 L × 273.15 K / 357 K × 760 mmHg = 5.5 L

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
