Answer:

The main reason why air is cooled before nitrogen and oxygen are obtained is because these two gases are much more soluble in cold air than in warm air. As a result, if air were not cooled before these gases were separated, they would simply mix back together again.

Si una masa dada de hidrógeno ocupa 40 litros a 700 grados torr. ¿Qué volumen ocupará a 1 atmósfera de presión? (dar la presión

Svetach [21]

Answer:

$V_2=36.84L$

Explanation:

Hola,

En este caso, podemos usar la ley de Boyle, la cual nos permite analizar el comportamiento volumen-presión en un gas ideal de manera inversamente propocional:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Así, dado el volumen y la presión inicial, la cual se convierte a atmósferas (760 torr = 1atm), calculamos el volumen final a 1 atm como se muestra a continuación:

$V_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}=\frac{700torr*\frac{1atm}{760torr}*40l }{1atm}\\ \\V_2=36.84L$

Saludos!

Which of the following statements is not a description of asteroids?

seraphim [82]

Answer: Most of them lie in a belt between Earth and Mars.

Explanation:

Asteroids are small rocky bodies having irregular shape size which orbit sun. Majority of the asteroids are found in a belt between orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists presume that these asteroids are remains of a planet that never formed between Mars and Jupiter due to great gravitational pull of the largest planet of the solar -system - Jupiter.

Thus, the incorrect description of the asteroids is: Most of them lie in a belt between Earth and Mars.
