Answer: The gas law which applies here is :Charle's Law

Explanation:

The main principle behind this is that, warm air rises in the cooler air.Which implies that hot air is less denser than the cooler air. Due to this property hot air rises up in the sky.

Density decrease with increase in volume due to this hot air balloon rises up in the air

Also the volume occupied by the gas increase with increase in temperature at constant pressure known as Charle's law.

So, during preflight the propane torch is lit to warm up the air present inside the balloon.

Propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during pre-flight preparation because the heat from the touch is needed to heat the cold air inside the balloon, so that the air will expand and become less dense and rise, thus providing a lift for the balloon. This is line with charle's law, which states that, the volume of a fixed mass of ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. This law implies that, as the temperature of the air inside the balloon increase, the volume of the balloon also increases.

R is the midpoint of FG. FR = 26 find RG

vichka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because if R is the midpoint of FRG, FR is half of FRG, so basically all you do it multiply by 2 to get the FRG

What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air if the temperature is increased? It increases. It decreases. I

Leno4ka [110]

The partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air increases if the temperature is increased.

Answer: Option 1

Explanation:

According to Guy-Lussac's law, at constant volume, pressure exhibited by the gas molecules will be directly proportional to the temperature of the gas molecules. It is also known that pressure of mixture of gas molecules is the sum of partial pressure of each gas molecule in the mixture.

If the temperature increases, the partial pressure and the pressure of the mixture of gas also tend to increase. As it can be seen that at higher altitudes, the low temperature leads to the decrease in oxygen's partial pressure in the air.

So, it can also be concluded that temperature increases the oxygen's partial pressure in air increases.

The metal conducts the heat and through conduction, cooks the brownies; conduction also cooks the brownies in the glass pan, but since infrared goes right through the glass, they also cook by radiation.
