Why greenhouse affect referred to as a "blanket" around the atmosphere?

A 25.0 L tank of nitrogen gas is at 25 oC and 2.05 atm . If the temperature stays at 25 oC and the volume is decreased to 14.5 L

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf P_2 \approx 3.53 \ atm}}$

Explanation:

In this problem, the temperature stays constant. The volume and pressure change, so we use Boyle's Law. This states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume. The formula is:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Now we can substitute any known values into the formula.

Originally, the gas has a volume of 25.0 liters and a pressure of 2.05 atmospheres.

$25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm = P_2V_2$

The volume is decreased to 14.5 liters, but the pressure is unknown.

$25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm = P_2 * 14.5 \ L$

Since we are solving for the new pressure, or P₂, we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 14.5 liters and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 14.5 L .

$\frac {25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm }{14.5 \ L}=\frac{P_2 *14.5 \ L}{14.5 \ L}$

$\frac {25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm }{14.5 \ L}= P_2$

The units of liters cancel.

$\frac {25.0 * 2.05 \ atm }{14.5 }=P_2$

$\frac {50.25\ atm }{14.5 }=P_2$

$3.53448276 \ atm = P_2$

The original values of volume and pressure have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we found, that is the hundredth place.

3.53448276

The 4 in the thousandth place (in bold above) tells us to leave the 3 in the hundredth place.

$3.53 \ atm \approx P_2$

The new pressure is approximately <u>3.53 atmospheres.</u>

How do I determine the flow rate of a liquid?

topjm [15]

The flow rate of a liquid substance using any type of method is determined through the use of a type of measurement. It's often measured using velocity, an area or through the means of elapsed time. It's also called as continuity.

Which pair of substances would most likely result in the production of a gas when reacting with an acid?

vovangra [49]

Answer: metal and carbonate

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions $(OH^-)$ when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions $(H^+)$ in water.

An acid is represented as :

$HX\rightarrow H^++X^-$

1. When metal is treated with an acid such as $HCl$ , if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its salt solution and thus produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
