A sample of gas in a sealed container (fixed volume) is heated from room temperature to 80.0°C.

Hello!

A) When the temperature inside the container increases, the pressure inside the container increases as well. 

An example for that is when you have an aerosol can and start heating it. The pressure of the gas inside the aerosol can will start to increase, and that would lead to the exploding of the can if heating is kept for too long. Bombs work on this principle too: The heat from the violent chemical reaction inside the closed compartment increase the pressure of the gases until the fragments are ejected at high velocities. 

B) The effect of temperature on the pressure of a gas illustrates Gay-Lussac's Law.

This law was formulated by the famous French chemist that gives it its name. It relates the expansion of a gas with the increase in temperature when the volume is left constant. The Gay-Lussac's Law can be expressed as follows, for the case of this exercise:

\frac{P1}{T1}= \frac{P2}{T2} \\ \\ P2= \frac{P1}{T1}*T2=P1* \frac{80 degC}{25degC}= P1*3,2

You can see that the factor that is multiplying P1 is higher than 1 for the case of heating from 25 °C to 80 °C, so the pressure will increase.

C) At a molecular level, when the temperature is raised the kinetic energy of the molecules inside the container will increase. This increase in the kinetic energy will cause the molecules to move faster, and to hit the walls of the container more often. This causes an increase in the pressure inside the container because there more hits means more force on the walls of the container, and that is the definition of pressure. 

Have a nice day!

Can someone please answer this?
Amanda [17]

Answer:-

0.229 L

Explanation:-

Molar mass of AgBr = 107.87 x 1 + 79.9 x 1

=187.77 grams mol-1

Mass of AgBr = 150 grams

Number of moles of AgBr = 150 grams / 187.77 gram mol-1

= 0.8 mol

The balanced chemical equation is

NaBr (aq) + AgNO3 (aq)--> AgBr(s) + NaNO3(aq)

From the equation we can see that

1 mol of AgBr is produced from 1 mol of AgNO3.

∴ 0.8 mol of AgBr is produced from 1 x 0.8 / 1 = 0.8 mol of AgNO3.

Strength of AgNO3 = 3.5 M

Volume of AgNO3 required = Number of moles / strength

= 0.8 moles / 3.5

=0.229 L

50.0 mL of an HNO^3 solution were titrated with 36.90 mL of a 0.100 M LiOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What is the
NISA [10]

Answer:

0.0738 M

Explanation:

HNO3 +LiOH = LiNO3 + H2O

Number of moles HNO3 = number of moles LiOH

M(HNO3)*V(HNO3) = M(LiOH)*M(LiOH)

M(HNO3)*50.0mL = 0.100M*36.90 mL

M(HNO3) = 0.100*36.90/50.0 M = 0.0738 M

What would be the temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg?
Anna [14]

Answer: The temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg is 920 K

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 2300 mm Hg = 3.02 atm  (760mmHg=1atm)

V = Volume of gas = 15 L

n = number of moles = 0.6

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature = ?

T=\frac{PV}{nR}

T=\frac{3.02atm\times 15L}{0.0821Latm/K mol\times 0.6mol}=920K

Thus the temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg is 920 K
