Answer:

igneous rocks are made from molten,and therefore rarely have fossils in them.Metamorphic rocks are squished,put under pressure,and get heated to the extreme,so it's very rare for fossils to survive in these conditions.

A syringe initially holds a sample of gas with a volume of 285 mL at 355 K and 1.88 atm. To what temperature must the gas in the

Ivahew [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The temperature to which the gas in the syringe must be heated is 720.5 K

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume when temperature and pressure has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law.

The equation follows:

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

where,

$P_1,V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

$P_2,V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

We are given:

$P_1=1.88atm\\V_1=285mL\\T_1=355K\\P_2=2.50atm\\V_2=435mL\\T_2=?K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.88atm\times 285mL}{355K}=\frac{2.50atm\times 435mL}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{2.50\times 435\times 355}{1.88\times 285}=720.5K$

Hence, the temperature to which the gas in the syringe must be heated is 720.5 K

The acid dissociation constant ka for an unknown acid ha is 4.57 x 10^-3 what is the base dissociation constant kb for th econju

SashulF [63]

Answer:

2.19 x 10^-12.

Explanation:-

The relation between Ka and Kb for an acid and it's conjugate base is

Ka x Kb = Kw where Kw = ionic product of water.

So Kb = 10^-14 / (4.57 x 10 ^ -3)

= 2.19 x 10^-12
