The bacteria move slower and also when refrigerated there is less liquid so mold is less likely to happen.

Which law relates to the ideal gas law?

professor190 [17]

Answer: The law that related the ideal gas law is $\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}$

Explanation:

There are 4 laws of gases:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

Mathematically,

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Charles' Law: This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

Gay-Lussac Law: This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

Avogadro's Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to number of moles at constant temperature and pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}$

Hence, the law that related the ideal gas law is $\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}$

Complete Question:

check the first image for complete part of the question

Answer and Explanation:

Epoxide is a three membered ring made up of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Epoxides are cyclic ethers. Due to its ring size, it is highly strained and very reactive. Epoxide ring opening takes place with respect to addition of acid and base.

Ring opening of epoxide with acid:

In the presence of base, the nucleophile attacks the epoxide ring at more substituted site and inverse stereochemistry takes place.(check file 2 attached)

Ring opening of epoxide with base:

The backside attack of nucleophile takes place in less substituted site and then it undergoes protonation to form a product.

At 35.0°c and 3.00 atm pressure, a gas has a volume of 1.40 l. what pressure does the gas have at 0.00°c and a volume of 0.950 l

Leona [35]

Answer : The pressure of gas will be, 3.918 atm and the combined gas law is used for this problem.

Solution :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 3 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 1.40 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 0.950 L

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $35^oC=273+35=308K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $0^oC=273+0=273K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

$\frac{3atm\times 1.40L}{308K}=\frac{P_2\times 0.950L}{273K}$

$P_2=3.918atm$

Therefore, the pressure of gas will be, 3.918 atm and the combined gas law is used for this problem.

The partial pressure of CO2 inside a bottle of soft drink is 4.0 atm at 25°C. The solubility of CO2 is 0.12 mol/L. When the bott

navik [9.2K]

We can solve this problem by using Henry's law.
Henry's law states that the amount of dissolved gas is proportional to its partial pressure.
$C=kP$
C is the solubility of a gas.
k is Henry's law constant.
P is the partial pressure of the gas.
We can calculate the constant from the first piece of information and then use Henry's law to calculate solubility in open drink.
0.12=4k
k=0.03
Now we can calculate the solubility in open drink.
$C_o=kP_o
$
$C_o=0.03 \cdot 3\cdot 10^{-4}=0.09\cdot 10^{-4} \frac{mol}{L}$
Now we need to convert it to g/L. One mol of CO2 is 44.01g.
The final answer is:
$C_o=0.09\cdot 10^{-4}\cdot 44,01=3.4\cdot 10^{-4} \frac{g}{L}$
