1. The pressure and temperature of a gas are held constant. Which of the following is true for the volume of the gas?
katovenus [111]
<h3>1.</h3>

C) The volume of the gas is proportional to the number of moles of gas particles.

The Avogadro's law applies to ideal gases with constant pressure and temperature. By that law, the volume of an ideal gas is proportional to the number of moles of particles in that gas.

<h3>2.</h3>

B) The gas now occupies less volume, and the piston will move downward.

Boyle's Law applies to ideal gases with a constant temperature. The volume of an ideal gas is inversely related to its pressure. A high pressure drives gas particles together, such that they occupy less volume. The gas trapped inside the piston has a smaller volume. As a result, the the piston will move downward.

Alternatively, consider the forces acting on the piston. Both the atmosphere and gravity are dragging the piston down. In order for it to stay in place, the gas below it must exert a pressure to balance the two forces. Now the pressure from outside has increased. The gas inside needs to increase its pressure. It needs a smaller volume to create that extra pressure. As a result, its volume will decrease, and the piston will move downwards.

When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as?
Jet001 [13]
A force of attraction that holds atom together
When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as a force of attraction that holds atom together. A force of attraction is defined as a kind of force that draws two or more objects together regardless of distance. There are two major categories of forces of attraction, one is intramolecular and intermolecular. Intramolecular forces is the presence of forces in atoms internally. While intermolecular is the force by which the force that is existent in two or more elements.
