Answer:

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>B. A strong repulsive force is created when the cations suddenly line up.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Solid ionic compounds are fragile. </em>This behavior is explained as a result of the repulsions that appear when one layer of ions moves with respect to the other<em> so that ions of the same charge are stopped.</em>

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>B. A strong repulsive force is created when the cations suddenly line up.</u>

A container initially holds 1.24mol of hydrogen gas and has a volume of 27.8L. Hydrogen gas was added to the container, and the
Fantom [35]

Answer:

After increasing the volume, we have 1.81 moles of hydrogen gas in the container

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles hydrogen gas (H2) = 1.24 moles

Volume of hydrogen gas (H2° = 27.8 L

The final volume is increas to 40.6 L

Step 2: Calculate the new number of moles

V1/n1 = V2/n2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 27.8 L

⇒with n1 = the initial number of moles H2 = 1.24 moles

⇒with V2 = the final volume = 40.6 L

⇒with n2 = the new number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

27.8L / 1.24 moles = 40.6 L / n2

n2 = 40.6 / (27.8/1.24)

n2= 1.81 moles

After increasing the volume, we have 1.81 moles of hydrogen gas in the container

Suppose that CO2 in the atmosphere was held at a constant, natural level for a few thousand years. Then, CO2 was added to double
MissTica

Answer:

temperature before the increase in CO2 was a few degrees lower than temperature after the increase.

Explanation:

CO2 in the atmosphere has the property of trapping heat by absorbing it. So, with increase in the level of CO2 in the atmosphere the more heat will be absorbed by it and hence the temperature before the increase in CO2 was a few degrees lower than temperature after the increase.

Level of CO2 ∝ Temperature of the Earth
