I need help understanding polyatomic ions

1 answer:

3 0

A polyatomic ion, also known as a molecular ion, is a charged chemical species (ion) composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered to be acting as a single unit. The prefix poly- means "many," in Greek, but even ions of two atoms are commonly referred to as polyatomic

Which causes an air conditioner to turn on

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C.)house temperature increases cause the bimetallic coil to expand

Explanation:

A bimetallic strip is used in an air conditioner as a regulator. It is made up of two metals that behaves differently to a change in temperature.

To turn on the air conditoner, the circuit must be complete. When the temperature is high in a room, bimetallic strip responds by expanding and bending to complete the circuit. This puts on the air conditioner and the house begins to cool through exchange of warm and cold air.

When the temperature is too cold, the strip contracts and straightens. This process disconnects the circuit and the air conditioning system ceases to work.

The Average Speed of the orbiting space shuttle is

maxonik [38]

Explanation:

It is given that, the Average Speed of the orbiting space shuttle is 17500 miles/hour.

We need to convert the speed in kilometers/ second

We know that,

1 mile = 1.609 km

1 km = 0.621 miles

1 hour = 3600 seconds

$17500\ \dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}=17500\ \dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{h}}\times \dfrac{1\ h}{3600\ s}\\\\=17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}$

Now cancel the miles in numerator.

$17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}=17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}\times \dfrac{1.609\ km}{1\ \text{miles}}\\\\=17500\times \dfrac{1.609}{3600}\ km/s\\\\=7.82\ km/s$

So, 17500 miles/hour is equal to 7.82 km/s.

Based on the three formulas shown, use one of them to solve for the purple yellow and red box and explain how you did it.

zysi [14]

P = 11.133 atm (purple)

T = -236.733 °C(yellow)

n = 0.174 mol(red)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Some of the laws regarding gas, can apply to ideal gas (volume expansion does not occur when the gas is heated),:

Boyle's law at constant T, P = 1 / V
Charles's law, at constant P, V = T
Avogadro's law, at constant P and T, V = n

So that the three laws can be combined into a single gas equation, the ideal gas equation

In general, the gas equation can be written

$\large {\boxed {\bold {PV = nRT}}}$

where

P = pressure, atm

V = volume, liter

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm / mol K

T = temperature, Kelvin

To choose the formula used, we refer to the data provided

Because the data provided are temperature, pressure, volume and moles, than we use the formula PV = nRT

Purple box

T= 10 +273.15 = 373.15 K

V=5.5 L

n=2 mol

$\tt P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{2\times 0.08205\times 373.15}{5.5}\\\\P=11.133~atm$

Yellow box

V=8.3 L

P=1.8 atm

n=5 mol

$\tt T=\dfrac{PV}{nR}\\\\T=\dfrac{1.8\times 8.3}{5\times 0.08205}\\\\T=36.42~K=-236.733^oC$

Red box

T = 12 + 273.15 = 285.15 K

V=3.4 L

P=1.2 atm

$\tt n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.2\times 3.4}{0.08205\times 285.15}\\\\n=0.174~mol$
