Answer:
<h2>3.31 g/mL</h2>
Explanation:
The density of a substance can be found by using the formula
From the question
mass = 23.2 g
volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water
volume = 62 - 55 = 7 mL
We have
We have the final answer as
<h3>3.31 g/mL</h3>
Hope this helps you
Answer:
Methane
Explanation:
The gas that you could keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter in Alaska is Methane.
The reason is the extreme low temperature during the winter. The boiling point of butane is 44 ºF ( -1ºC) and that of propane is a higher -43.6 º F but still within the range of average minimum winter temperature in Alaska (-50 ªF). Therefore we will have condensation in the tanks and not enough gas pressure.
Methane having a boling point of -259 ºF will not condense at the low wintertime temperatures in Alaska.
We first assume that the gas is an ideal gas so we can use the relation PV= nRT where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles R is the gas constant and T is the temperature. In a closed system, the number of moles should be constant since mass cannot be created or destroyed. So the only thing we can manipulate here is the volume of the system. We do as follows:
PV/T = nR = k
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
V2 = P1V1T2/T1P2
V2 = 1.50 (298.15) V1 / (273.15)(1.0)
V2 = 1.64V1
Therefore, the volume should be changed by a factor of 1.64 of the original volume.
