Calculate the number of moles of gas that occupy a 3.45L container at a pressure of 1.48 atm and a temperature of 45.6 Celsius

There are 0,2 moles of gas that ocuppy the container.

Explanation:

We apply the formula of the ideal gases, we clear n (number of moles); we use the ideal gas constant R = 0.082 l atm / K mol. Firs we convert the unit of temperature in Celsius into Kelvin:

0°C= 273 K > 45,6 °C= 273 + 45, 6= 318, 6 K

PV= nRT ---> n= PV/RT

n= 1,48 atm x 3,45 L /0.082 l atm / K mol x 318,6 K

n= 0,195443479 mol

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.
