If anyone is good at chemistry do you mind helping :)

• 1.62432 moles of nitrogen

• Tire Pressure: 2.74 * 10⁵ Pa

• The tires will burst

• Pressure: 244 kPa

Explanation:

• We can determine the number of moles of nitrogen using the formula pV = nRT, where p = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = gas constant, and T = absolute temperature.

Now remember we have our initial pressure in kilopascals so let's convert to pascals (249 pascals). The volume is given in liters, so let's convert into m². And the initial temperature is given in Celsius ⇒ our absolute temperature in Kelvins.

Respectively the moles of nitrogen in each tire should be:

• We can solve this part similarly. All our values will be the same, besides the temperature, as we have to consider both the initial and final temperature here.

• The text mentions that the tires will burst when the internal pressure reaches 269kP. From part #2 we know that the final pressure will be, in kilopascals, 274kP. As 274 > 269, the tires will burst in Death Valley.

• We would want the final temperature = breaking pressure. Therefore,

"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."
