A balloon is filled with helium at sea level. The volume was measured to be 3.1 liters at a pressure of 0.97 atmosphere. If the

balloon is released, it drifts upward. At a height of 4 kilometers, the pressure is measured to be 0.61 atmospheres. What is the volume of the balloon?

Answer:

The volume of the balloon is 4.92 L at the height of 4 km.

Explanation:

Initial Volume of the helium gas V_1= 3.1 L

Initial pressure of the helium gas P_1= 0.97 atm

Final volume of the helium gas = V_2

Final pressure of the helium gas =P_2=0.61 atm

Applying Boyle's law:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2 (At constant temperature)

V_2=\frac{P_1\times V_1}{P_2}=\frac{0.97 atm\times 3.1 L}{0.61 L}

V_2=4.92 L

The volume of the balloon is 4.92 L at the height of 4 km.

Manganese forms several oxides when combined with oxygen. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn and another oxide (Ox
Nina [5.8K]

Explanation:

Defining law of definite proportions, it states that when two elements form more than one compound, the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers.

A. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn.

Mass of the oxide = 100g

Mass of Mn = 63.2 g

Mass of O = 100 - 63.2

= 36.8 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 63.2/36.8

= 1.72

Another oxide (Oxide 2) contains 77.5% Mn.

Mass of oxide = 100 g

Mass of Mn = 77.5 g

Mass of O = 100 - 77.5

= 22.5 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 77.5/22.5

= 3.44

Therefore, the ratio of the masses of Mn and O in Oxide 1 and Oxide 2 is in the ratio 1.72 : 3.44, which is also 1 : 2. So the law of multiple proportions is obeyed.

B.

Oxide 1

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.

Oxide 2

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.

How does incoming solar radiation make life on earth possible?
MrMuchimi

<span>Light from the sun provides energy for life’s processes. It enables the primary producers (photosynthetic organisms) such as phytoplankton and plants to produce organic molecules from abiotic factors. This energy is passed up as primary and secondary consumers consume these producers and this cycle continues up the foods chain/web. </span>
