What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of

a standard meter stick”?
Chemistry

sergey [27]3 years ago

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

If a gas occupies 1532.7 mL at standard temperature, what volume does it occupy at 49.4 ºC if the pressure remains constant?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

a. 1810mL

Explanation:

When conditions for a gas change under constant pressure (and the number of molecules doesn't change), it follows Charles' Law:

\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}  where the temperatures must be measured in Kelvin

To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273, or use the equation:  T_C+273=T_K

For this problem, one must also recall that standard temperature is 0°C (or 273K).

So, T_1 = 273[K], and T_2 = (49.4+273)[K]=322.4[K].

\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}

\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K])}=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K])}

\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}])}(322.4[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}] )=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})}(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})

1810.04571428[mL]=V_2

Adjusting for significant figures, this gives V_2=1810[mL]

How many moles of hydrogen are required to react with 4.6 x 10 22 molecules of nitrogen?
V125BC [204]

Answer: 6 moles

Take a look at the balanced chemical equation for this synthesis reaction

N 2(g] + 3 H 2(g] → 2 NH 3(g]

Notice that you have a  1:3  mole ratio between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas. This means that, regardless of how many moles of nitrogen gas you have, the reaction will always consume twice as many moles of hydrogen gas.

So, if you have  2 moles of nitrogen taking part in the reaction, you will need

2 moles N 2 ⋅ 3 moles H 2 /1 mole N 2 = 6 moles H 2
