The ideal gas law allows a scientist to calculate the number of moles that the other gas laws do not. The ideal gas law is given as

P V = n RT

rearranging the equation by dividing both side by "RT", we get

PV/(RT) = nRT/(RT)

n = PV/(RT)

inserting the values of pressure, volume and temperature, we get number of moles.

<u>The ideal gas law allows the scientists to calculate the number of moles of the gas whereas other gas laws deal with the temperature, pressure and volume of the gas only.</u>

Further Explanation:

The ideal gas law for an ideal gas establishes the relation between the pressure, volume, temperature and the number of moles of a gas. According to the ideal gas law, the product of the pressure and volume of the gas is directly proportional to the product of the number of moles and the temperature of the gas.

The ideal gas law can be represented mathematically as.

{PV} ∞ {nT}

Remove the proportionality constant.

 \boxed{\text{}PV=nRT}

Here, P is the pressure of gas, V is the volume of the gas,   is the number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature of the gas.

The other gas laws are the Boyle’s Law and the Charles’ Law. The Boyle’s Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.  

On the other hand, the Charles’ Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

It shows that the other gas laws only establish the relation between the pressure, temperature and the volume of the gas but do not deal with the number of the moles of gas. <u>The number of moles can only be known from the ideal gas law.</u>

The photograph shows matter going through a physical change. Which characteristic of the matter changes?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Possibly shape.

Explanation:

Because it is ripped in half. As you guys and the questioner can see that there is a wiggly strip down the middle. That also cause of a shape change.

I really hope my answer is right ^_^

As seen in the figure, a bullet with mass of 15.0-g is fired vertically and penetrates a block with mass of 2.5-kg and the block
rodikova [14]

Answer:

KE = 2.03 J

Explanation:

After impact, the kinetic energy of the bullet+block will convert to potential energy

½mv² = mgh

v = √(2gh) = √(2(9.81)(0.00500) = 0.0981 m/s

conservation of momentum during the collision

0.015u + 2.50(0) = (2.50 + 0.015)(0.0981)

u = 16.4481 m/s

KE = ½mv² = ½(0.015)16.4481² = 2.0290499...

KE = 2.03 J

A toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.9-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stored energy in spring = 1/2 k x² , k is spring constant , x is compression.

= 1/2 x 8 x (5.7 x 10⁻²)²

= 129.96 x 10⁻⁴ J

Energy lost due to friction = force x distance

= .035 x .17

= .00595 J

Energy used in providing kinetic energy to projectile.  

129.96 x 10⁻⁴  - .00595

.012996 - .00595

= .007046 J

So

1/2 m v² = .007046

v² = .007046  x 2 / .0059

= 2.3885

v = 1.545 m /s

A small candle is 38 cm from a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of 24 cm. (a) what is the focal length of the mirror?
Finger [1]
For a concave mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length of the mirror:
r=2f
where f, for a concave mirror, is taken to be positive.

Re-arranging the formula we get:
f= \frac{r}{2}
and since the radius of curvature of the mirror in the problem is 24 cm, the focal length is
f= \frac{24 cm}{2} = 12 cm
