Hmmm. I think the answer is A. If I remember correctly. I had this question before. Sorry if I'm wrong.
Explanation:
It's displacement would be negative
displacement is a vector quantity.
'Backwards', we can assume, would be negative.
and forwards, positive. So going backwards would mean a negative displacement.
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
An oxygen molecule is adsorbed onto a small patch of the surface of a catalyst. It's known that the molecule is adsorbed on 1 of 36 possible sites for adsorption. Calculate the entropy of this system.
Explanation:
It is known that Boltzmann formula of entropy is as follows.
s = k ln W
where, k = Boltzmann constant
W = number of energetically equivalent possible microstates or configuration of the system
In the given case, W = 36. Now, we will put the given values into the above formula as follows.
s = k ln W
=
= 
Thus, we can conclude that the entropy of this system is
.
Answer:
<h3>The answer is option A</h3>
Explanation:
The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

Since we are finding the new volume

From the question we have

We have the final answer as
<h3>3.10 L</h3>
Hope this helps you
