(a) By the ideal gas law, the temperature of the gas is approximately 423.51129 K

(b) By the Van der Waals equation, the temperature of the gas is approximately 442.00558 K

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the methane gas, m = 60 g

The volume of the container in which the gas is placed, V = 1.00-L

The pressure of the gas in the container, P = 130 atm

The molar mass of methane, CH₄ = 16.04 g/mol

The Van der Waals Constant for Methane (CH₄) a = 2.253 atm L²·mole⁻² and b = 0.04278 L·mol⁻¹

The universal gas constant, R = 0.08206 L·atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹

The number of moles of methane present, n = 60.0 g/(16.04 g/mol) ≈ 3.7406 48 moles

(a) The ideal gas law is P·V = n·R·T

Where;

P = The pressure of the gas

V = The volume of the gas

R = The universal gas constant

T = The temperature of the gas

n = The number of moles of the gas

Therefore, T = P·V/n·R

By substituting the known values of the variables, we get;

T = 130×1/(3.740648 × 0.08206) ≈ 423.51129 K

The temperature of the gas, T ≈ 423.51129 K

(b) The Van der Waals equation of state;

$n \cdot R \cdot T = \left (P + a \cdot \dfrac{n^2}{V^2} \right) \cdot (V - n\cdot b)$

Therefore, we have;

$T = \dfrac{ \left (P + a \cdot \dfrac{n^2}{V^2} \right) \cdot (V - n\cdot b)}{n \cdot R}$

Therefore, we have;

$T = \dfrac{ \left (130 + 2.253 \times \dfrac{3.740648^2}{1^2} \right) \times (1 - 3.740648\cdot 0.04278)}{3.740648 \times 0.08206} = 442.00558 \ K$

The temperature of the gas, T ≈ 442.00558 K.

Answer from: Quest

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.
