yuradex [85]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

<u>Fahrenheit Scale </u>

Fahrenheit temperature scale is the scale which is based on:

(a) For freezing point of the water, 32 °F.

(b) For boiling point of the water, 212 °F.  

With interval between two being divided into equal 180 parts.

<u> Celsius Scale </u>

Celsius temperature scale is the scale which is based on:  

(a) For freezing point of the water, 0 °C

(b) For boiling point of the water, 100 °C.

With interval between two being divided into equal 100 parts.

<u>Kelvin Scale </u>

It denotes the triple point of water where the solid, liquid, and gas phases exist in equilibrium which is at 273.16 K.

kelvin is defined as 1/ 273.16 of triple point temperature.

A 19.0 L helium tank is pressurized to 26.0 atm. When connected to this tank, a balloon will inflate because the pressure inside
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The new volume of the balloon when the pressure equalised with the pressure of the atmosphere = 494 L.

The balloon expands by am additional 475 L.

Explanation:

Assuming Helium behaves like an ideal gas and temperature is constant.

According to Boyle's law for ideal gases, at constant temperature,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = 26 atm

V₁ = 19.0 L

P₂ = 1 atm (the balloon is said to expand till the pressure matches the pressure of the atmpsphere; and the pressure of the atmosphere is 1 atm)

V₂ = ?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

(26 × 19) = 1 × V₂

V₂ = 494 L (it is assumed the balloon never bursts)

The new volume of the balloon when the pressure equalised with the pressure of the atmosphere = 494 L.

The balloon expands by am additional 475 L.

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the contrast of these two atoms?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The atomic number of silicon is 14 while atomic mass of carbon is 14.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

In given atoms ¹⁴₆C  and ²⁸₁₄Si the atomic mass of carbon is 14 while the atomic number of silicon is 14. It means silicon has 14 electrons or protons while carbon has 6 protons or electrons because its atomic number is 6. Carbon has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus while silicon has 14 protons and 14 neutrons in its nucleus.

In C:

Number of neutrons + protons = 8 + 6 = 14 amu (mass number)

Number of electrons = 6

In Si:

Number of neutrons + protons = 14 + 14 = 28 amu (mass number)

Number of electrons = 14
