When the volume of a gas is changed from 3.6 L to 15.5 L, the
temperature will change from
°C to 87°C.
Assume that the number of moles and the
pressure remain constant.
Be sure to notice that temperatures are
given in °C!

Initial temperature = -189.4  °C

Given

the volume of a gas is  changed from 3.6 L to 15.5 L

final temperature = 87 °C = 87+ 273 = 360 K

Required

initial temperature

Solution

Charles's Law

When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature  

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

no, the red giant is the hottest with 2.00.000.000 degrees celsius. while the white dwarf only 25,000 degrees celsius.
