What is thermal expansion?

1 answer:

7 0

Thermal expansion<span> is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature, through heat transfer. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases.</span>

matrenka [14]

Answer:
The pressure increases to 3.5 atm.

Solution:
According to Gay-Lussac's Law, " At constant volume and mass the pressure of gas is directly proportional to the applied temperature".

For initial and final states of a gas the equation is,

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂
Solving for P₂,
P₂ = P₁ T₂ / T₁ ----- (1)

Data Given;
P₁ = 3 atm

T₁ = 27 °C + 273 = 300 K

T₂ = 77 °C + 273 = 350 K

Putting values in eq. 1,

P₂ = (3 atm × 350 K) ÷ 300 K

P₂ = 3.5 atm

How can we find the volume of this fish tank? Please I needed but Good

r-ruslan [8.4K]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Find the number of 1-foot cubes that fill the fish tank

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Volume of a cuboid such as the fish tank is given by the product of length width and height;

Such that; Volume = length × width × height

Similarly, we can count the number of 1 foot cube that can fill the fish tank.

And since each cube has a volume of 1 cubic ft, then the number of cubes will be equivalent to the volume of the fish tank in cubic ft.

leva [86]

Answer:

A) carbon - 2

B) cobalt - 3

C) sulfur - 2

D) fluorine - 1

E) titanium - 2

F) germanium - 2

Explanation:

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:-

Firstly, every orbital which is present in the sublevel is singly occupied and then the orbital is doubly occupied.

(A) Carbon.
