Two sealed 1 l containers full of gas are at room temperature. Container a has a pressure of 4 atm and container b has a pressur

e of 2 atm. What must be true about the number densities of the gases in these containers?

Answer:

The number density of the gas in container A is twice the number density of the gas in container B.

Explanation:

Here we have

P·V =n·R·T

n = P·V/(RT)

Therefore since V₁ = V₂ and T₁ = T₂

n₁ = P₁V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ = P₂V₂/(RT₂)

P₁ = 4 atm

P₂ = 2 atm

n₁ = 4V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ =2·V₁/(RT₁)

∴ n₁ = 2 × n₂

Therefore, the number of moles in container A is two times that in container B and the number density of the gas in container A is two times the number density in container B.

This can be shown based on the fact that the pressure  of the container is due to the collision of the gas molecules on the walls of the container, with a kinetic energy that is dependent on temperature and mass, and since the temperature is constant, then the mass of container B is twice that of A and therefore, the number density of container A is twice that of B.

You walk 10 miles north, 20 miles south, and 5 miles north. Taking north to be the positive y direction, define a position vecto
gulaghasi [49]

Considering north as positive Y axis

       First  10 miles north means a positive 10 displacement along y direction

      Second 20 miles south means a negative 20 displacement along y direction

       Third 5 miles south means a positive 5 displacement along y direction

So total displacement = 10 - 20 + 5 = -5 miles displacement

So position vector of the final position = - 5 j

How is light energy transported?
REY [17]

Answer:

By reflection

Explanation:

The light energy can be transported by the means of transmitting it by reflecting it to several surfaces . as we know , light doesn't need any medium to travel . Electromagnetic waves are used to transmit them .

Tricia puts 44 g of dry ice (solid CO2) into a 2.0-L container and seals the top. The dry ice turns to gas at room temperature (
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Corect answer is D

Explanation:

Assuming that the  C O 2  gas is behaving ideally, therefore, we can use the ideal gas law to find the pressure increase in the container by:

P V=nRT ⇒  P=n R T /V

n=no of moles of the gas = mass/molar mass

Molar mass o f  C O 2=44g/mol, mass = 44g

mole n = 1mole

T=20C=293K

R=0.0821L.atm/mol.K

P=nRT/V

P = 1 x 0.0821 x 293/2

P = 12atm
