Answer:

a.  3.72 [atm]

Explanation:

For a gas at constant temperature, (with no change in number of molecules of the gas), we can apply Boyle's Law:  P_1V_1=P_2V_2

(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL])=P_2(112.4[mL])

\dfrac{(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}])}{112.4[mL \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}]}=\dfrac{P_2(112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----})}{112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----}}

3.716957[atm]=P_2

It seems like the answer should have 4 significant figures since all of the other quantities have 4 significant figures, but the closest answer choice of those provided is a.  3.72

A major disadvantage of a corporation is the
Nikitich [7]
A major disadvantage of a corporation is the double taxation of the corporation's income and of dividends paid to shareholders.
<span>Corporations end up paying taxes twice. The corporation pays tax when it shows a profit. Secondly the corporation pays tax when it pays out dividends to its shareholders.  Sole proprietorships and partnerships are taxed as owners of the business. The owners of a corporation are taxed individually from the corporation. The advantage of this is that the owners of a corporation are not taxed on the corporation's profit. </span>

What did Josef Loschmidt and Amedeo Avogadro Contribute to our understanding of basic molecular numbers, sizes, and reaction rat
mario62 [17]

From Avogadro we obtained a physical constant of matter which is Avogadro's number, and from both scientists we understand that elementary gases such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen were composed of two atoms.

<h3>What is Avogadro's number?</h3>

Avogadro's number, or Avogadro's constant, is the number of particles found in one mole of a substance.

The Avogadro's number is given as 6.02 x 10²³.

Summary of Josef Loschmidt and Amedeo Avogadro Contribution to chemistry.

  • Equal volumes of gas contain equal numbers of molecules,
  • Elementary gases such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen were composed of two atoms.

Thus, from Avogadro we obtained a physical constant of matter which is Avogadro's number, and from both scientists we understand that elementary gases such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen were composed of two atoms.
