Answer:

The pressure in the new flask would be 128\; \rm mmHg if the \rm HCl here acts like an ideal gas.  

Explanation:

Assume that the \rm HCl sample here acts like an ideal gas. By Boyle's Law, the pressure P of the gas should be inversely proportional to its volume V.

For example, let the initial volume and pressure of the sample be V_1 and P_1. The new volume V_2 and pressure P_2 of this sample shall satisfy the equation: P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2.

In this question,

  • The initial volume of the gas is V_1= 256\; \rm mL.
  • The initial pressure of the gas is P_1 = 67.5\; \rm mmHg.
  • The new volume of the gas is V_2 = 135\; \rm mL.

The goal is to find the new pressure of this gas, P_2.

Assume that this sample is indeed an ideal gas. Then the equation P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2 should still hold. Rearrange the equation to separate the unknown, P_2. Note: make sure that the units for V_1 and V_2 are the same before evaluating. That way, the unit of

\begin{aligned} & P_2\\ &= \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{V_2} \\ &= \frac{256\; \rm mL \times 67.5\; \rm mmHg}{135\; \rm mL} \\ & \approx 128\; \rm mmHg\end{aligned}.

Which of the following is the best example of a scientific law?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The correct answer is :'The gravitational force between two objects is related mathematically to their mass and the distance between them'.

Explanation:

A scientific law is a statement which explains physical phenomena and has been tested multiple times through the correct scientific methods and experimentation. It will give same results and observations after each conduct.

A scientific law comes into picture after the acceptance of a theory which explains or exposes the reason behind any physical phenomena occurrence.

So the best example of scientific law:

The gravitational force between two objects is related mathematically to their mass and the distance between them.

An atom's tendency is to become stable. What does this mean? A. The electrons all move to one electron shell. B. The atom gains
masya89 [10]
The answer is D. To put it simply, all atom wished to become stable. The only way for that is to obtain an octet structure where the outermost shell would have 8 electrons, thus being full.
