The answer to this question would be: Because the increase of temperature will increase volume.

Using PV=nRT formula we can see that temperature increase will cause an increase in volume. Overheating will cause the volume increase, then increasing the volume. If the percent value used is based on the volume, it will seem that the water is increased. But if the percent is using mass, there will be no increases.
That is why sometimes scientists using molality in a reaction with high temperature changes.

Remark

The question with these kind of problems is "Which R do you use?" That's where dimensional analysis is so handy. You must look at the units of the givens and choose your R accordingly. You'll see how that works in a moment.

You need to list the givens along with their units and in this case the property you want to solve for. You need all that to determine the R value

Givens

n = 0.25 moles

T = 35°C = 35 + 273.15 = 308.15°K

V = 6.23 L

Pressure = P in kPa

Which R

The units of the R you want has to have units of moles, kPa, °K and liters

The R that  you want is 8.314

<em><u>Formula</u></em>

PV = nRT

P 6.23 = 0.25 * 8.314 * 308.15  Combine the left

P*6.23 = 640.5

P = 640.5/6.23 = 102.81  The answer should be 100 kpA of 1.0 * 10^2 kPa

because the number of moles has only 2 sig digs.

But if sig digs are not a problem 102.8 is likely close enough.

Second Question

You are going to have to clean up the numbers. I think I've got only 1 chance at this. The partial pressures of the 2 gases will add up to the total pressure. So the total pressure was 100 approx and the water vapor was 3.36 kPa. The difference is

Total = air + water vapor

100.18 = air + 3.36 about  Subtract 3.36 from both sides.

100.18 - 3.36 = 96.82 about. Pick the answer that is closest to that. I'll clean up the numbers if I can.

Answer  C

What is the first step in balancing a redox reaction by the half-reaction method?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
First step is to balance the amount of atoms on each side

So for example if my equation that I have to balance is : Br2 -> Br-

First thing I would have to do would be :
Br2 -> 2Br-

Then I would have to balance the charges on both sides. So because there is a -2 charge on the right side I will have to add a -2 charge onto the right side as well. I would do this by :
Br2 + 2e- -> 2Br-

And now you can see the amount of atoms and the charges are balanced... So your overall reaction is now balanced too.

dlinn [17]
The answer that best completes the statement above is EXTENSIVE LAVA FLOW. Maria is the name that refers to an asteroid family. And this has punctured the surface of the moon which created magma to bleed out and resulted in an extensive lava flow. Hope this answer helps.
