Coach Fontana has ordered a special game ball that has been specially advertised to have a permeable needle hole which allows air to automatically inflate the ball. Using your
knowledge of partial pressure systems and gas diffusion, explain how this game ball
defies the laws of partial pressure systems, assuming the ball meets the mmHG pressure
standard of 776 mmHg and the atmospheric pressure is 760 mmHg. (6pts)

the answer is na (sodium)

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
