An ideal gas contained in a piston which is compressed. The gas is insulated so that no heat flows into or out of it. 1) What ha

Answer:Temperature increases

Explanation: As the gas in the container is an ideal gas so it should follow the ideal gas equation, the equation of state.

We know ideal gas equation to be PV=nRT where

   P=pressure

   V=Volume

   T=Temperature

   R=Real gas constant

   n=Number of moles

since the gas is insulated such that no heat goes into or out of the system .

When we compress the ideal gas using a piston, Thermodynamically it means that work is done on the system by the surroundings.

Now as the ideal gas is been compressed so the volume of the gas would decrease and slowly a time will reach when no more gas can be compressed that is there cannot be any further decrease in volume of the gas.

From the equation PV=nRT

Once there is no further compression is possible hence volume becomes constant so pressure of the ideal gas becomes directly proportional to the temperature as n and R are constants. Also as the pressure and volume are inversely related so an decrease in volume would lead to an increase in pressure.

As the ideal  gas is compressed so the pressure of the gas would increase since the gas molecules have smaller volume available after compression hence the gas molecules would quite frequently have collisions with other gas molecules or piston and this collision would lead to increase in speed of the gas molecules and  so the pressure would increase .

The increase in pressure would lead to an increase in temperature as show by the above ideal gas equation because the pressure and temperature are directly related.

So here we can say that work done on the system by surroundings leads to increase in temperature of the system.

Based on the nature of the sub-atomic particles, the correct answers are:

5. No Charge

6. Negative

7. Neutrons and Protons

8. 35 electrons

9. atomic number is 5

10. atomic mass is 11

11. number of protons is 15

12. number of electrons is 20

13. number of neutrons is 30 (55 -25)

14. mass number is 7

15. number of neutrons is 11 (36 - 25)

<h3>What are the sub-atomic particles?</h3>

The sub-atomic particles are the electrons, protons, and neutrons.

The electron is negatively-charged, the proton is positively-charged, whereas, the neutron is neutral and has no charge.

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

The sum of protons and neutrons gives the mass number of the atom.

Considering the given questions:

5. What type of charge does a neutron have?

Answer = No Charge

6. What type of charge does an electron have?

Answer =  Negative

7. Which two subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of an

Answer = Neutrons and Protons

8. If an atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, how many electrons will it have orbiting the nucleus?

Answer = 35 electrons

9. What is the atomic number of the atom in the diagram above?

Answer = atomic number is 5

10. What is the atomic mass/mass number of the atom in the diagram above?

Answer = atomic mass is 11

11. How many protons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 15?

Answer = number of protons is 15

12. How many electrons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 20?

Answer = number of electrons is 20

13. How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 25?

Answer = number of neutrons is 30 (55 -25)

14. What is the mass number of an atom with 3 protons, 4 neutrons, and 3 electrons?

Answer = mass number is 7

15. How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic mass of 36 and an atomic number of 25?

Answer = number of neutrons is 11 (36 - 25)

In conclusion, the mass number of an atom is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the an atom.

Please answer this question​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Natural gas is colorless and odorless, and explosive, so a sulfur-smell (similar to rotten eggs) is usually added for early detection of leaks. ... Natural gas is a fossil fuel. Natural gas is a non-renewable hydrocarbon used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation.

What is the mole, and why is it useful in chemistry?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:The mole is important because it allows chemists to work with the subatomic world with macro world units and amounts. Atoms, molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However, the mole allows a chemist to work with amounts large enough to use.

What is the limiting reactant if 12 moles of p4 react with 15 moles of o2?.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

To determine limiting reactant divide mole quantities of reactants by the respective coefficient in the balanced equation. The smaller value is the limiting reactant.

    P₄      +     5O₂       => 2P₂O₅

12/1 = 12      15/5 = 3

O₂ is the limiting reactant. P₄ will be in excess when rxn stops.
