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.

Why does ammonia gas diffuse faster than hydrogen chloride gas?
Yakvenalex [24]
The ammonia gas, having a lower molecular weight than the hydrogen chloride, will diffuse faster and travel a greater length of the tube. Consequently, the white ring of ammonium chloride will form much closer to hydrochloric acid end of the tube. Which in conclusion your answer will be D :)

Find the energy in kJ for an x-ray photon with a frequency of 2.4 × 10^18 1/s.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

15912 × 10∧-19 KJ

Explanation:

Given data;

frequency of photon = 2.4 × 10^18 1/s.

Planck's constant = 6.63 × 10∧-34 j.s

Energy = ?

Formula:

E = h × ν

E =  6.63 × 10∧-34 j.s ×  2.4 × 10^18 1/s

E= 15.912 × 10∧-16 j

now we will convert the joule into kilo joule,

E = 15.912 × 10∧-16 j /1000 = 15.912 × 10∧-19 KJ

Describe two advantages and two disadvantages of building your 3D model with modeling clay. (5 points)
marishachu [46]

Answer:

A model or simulation is only as good as the rules used to create it. It is very difficult to create an entirely realistic model or simulation because the rules are based on research and past events. The main disadvantage of simulations is that they aren't the real thing.

Approximately how many formula units of NaCl are in 116.88g of table salt (NaCl), knowing that the molar mass of NaCl is 58.44g/
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

116.88g of table salt (NaCl) contains two formula units

Explanation:

Now,

We know that 1 formula unit of sodium chloride has a molar mass of 58.44g/mol

Hence;

Mass of 1 formula unit = 58.44g

Mass of x formula units = 116.88g

x = 116.88g * 1 formula unit/58.44g

x = 2 formula units

Therefore;

116.88g of table salt (NaCl) contains two formula units

How many nonbonding electron pairs are there in the lewis structure of the peroxide ion, o22−?
Tom [10]
There is 6 non - bonding pairs.
Let me show you one easy method to do this.
o22-, oxygen valence electron = 6 here we have two so total 12, and -2 that means we add electrons so it’s all equal to 14 right.
whenever need to find lone pair, subtract the number you get with the lowest multiple of 8.
here we total 14 valence electron right so lowest multiple of 8 would be 8.
so 14 - 8 = 6 and that is our answer.
Let me know if you have Problem with chemistry.
