<h2>The pressure will become double </h2>

Explanation:

The gas pressure is directly proportional to the mean root square velocity of the constituent molecules of gas .

P ∝ \sqrt{\frac{C_1^2+C_2^2+C_3^2----C_n^2}{n} }      I

Here C₁ , C₂ ------------ Cₙ is the velocities of molecules .

By making these velocities double

The pressure P₀ ∝ 2\sqrt{\frac{C_1^2+C_2^2+C_3^2----C_n^2}{n} }          II

By dividing II by I

P₀ = 2 P

Thus pressure will become double than its previous value

forsale [732]

Answer:

232.9m³ (Option b. is the closest answer)

Explanation:

Given:

Air pressure in the lab before the storm, P₁ = 1.1atm

Air volume in the lab before the storm, V₁ = 180m³

Air pressure in the lab during the storm P₂ = 0.85atm

Air volume in the lab before the storm, V₂ = ?

Applying Boyle's law:    P₁V₁ = P₂V₂    (at constant temperature)

                          V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{P_{2}}

                          V_{2} = \frac{1.1 * 180}{0.85}

                          V_{2} = \frac{198}{0.85}

                           V₂  = 232.9m³

The air volume in the laboratory that would expand in order to make up for the large pressure difference outside is 232.9m³

How much total heat transfer is necessary to lower the temperature of 0.175 kg of steam from 125.5 °C to −19.5 °C, including the
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

The heat required to change the temperature of  steam from 125.5  °C to 100 °C is:

Q_1 = ms_{steam} (125.5^0C - 100^0C) \\ \\ Q_1 = 0.175 \ kg ( 1520 \ J/kg.K ) (25.5^0 \ C) \\ \\ Q_1 = 6783 \ J

The heat required to change the steam at 100°C to water at 100°C is;

Q_2 = mL_v \\ \\ Q_2 = (0.175 \ kg) (2.25*10^6 \ J/kg ) \\ \\ Q_2 = 393750 \ J

The heat required to change the temperature from 100°C to 0°C is

Q_3 = ms_{water} (100^) \ C) \\ \\ Q_3 = (0.175\ kg)(4186 \ J/kg.K) (100 ^0c ) \\ \\ Q_3 = 73255 \ J

The heat required to change the water at 0°C to ice at 0°C  is:

Q_4 = mL_f \\ \\ Q_4 = (0.175 \ kg)(3.34*10^5 \ J/kg) \\\\ Q_4 = 58450 \ J

The heat required to change the temperature of ice from 0°Cto -19.5°C is:

Q_5 = ms _{ice} (100^0 C) \\ \\ Q_5 = (0.175 \ kg)(2090 \ J/kg.K)(19.5^0C)  \\ \\ Q_5 = 7132.125 \ J

The total heat required to change the steam into ice is:

Q = Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 + Q_4 +Q_5 \\ \\Q = (6788+393750+73255+58450+7132.125)J \\ \\ Q = 539325.125 \ J \\ \\ Q = 5.39*10^5 \ J

b)

The time taken to convert steam from 125 °C to 100°C is:

t_1 = \frac{Q_1}{P} = \frac{6738 \ J}{835 \ W}  = 8.12 \ s

The time taken to convert steam at  100°C to water at  100°C is:

t_2 = \frac{Q_2}{P} =\frac{393750}{834} =471.56 \ s

The time taken to convert water to 100° C to 0° C is:

t_3 = \frac{Q_3}{P} =\frac{73255}{834} = 87.73 \ s

The time taken to convert water at 0° to ice at 0° C is :

t_4 = \frac{Q_4}{P} =\frac{58450}{834} = 70.08  \ s

The time taken to convert ice from 0° C to -19.5° C is:

t_5 = \frac{Q_5}{P} =\frac{7132.125}{834} = 8.55  \ s

A plant species has two possible gene variations for seed shape. One plant has smooth seeds, and another has wrinkled seeds. The
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: The correct answer is- The plant with the smooth seeds is homozygous for the dominant trait.

According to the Mendelian genetics, dominant trait is the one that expresses itself and masks the expression of the recessive trait. Dominant is depicted with capital letter and recessive with small letter.

Let us consider 'S' depicts the allele for smooth seed and 's' for the wrinkled seeds. There can be two genotypes for smooth seeds that is 'Ss' and 'SS' whereas only one genotype is possible for wrinkled ( 'ss') seeds.

As per the question, there is no chance of the offspring born with wrinkled seeds. This is only possible when the parental plant with smooth seeds is homozygous for the dominant trait ( like SS) . Therefore, only smooth trait will be visible in the offsprings ( with genotype Ss) of the parental plants and there will be no chance of wrinkled seeds (ss) in the offsprings.
