Answer: The answer is D on usa test prep

Explanation:The decrease in volume as a result in an increase in pressure is BEST explained by the fact that there is a large relative distance between gas molecules. This explains the property of compressibility, exhibited by gases under pressure.

Pushing down on the piston causes an increase in pressure and a decrease in the volume of the gas in the cylinder. This is BEST explained by the fact that the pressure is always inversely proportional with volume at constant temperature and number of moles of substance.

Consider the reaction of gaseous hydrogen with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous water. Given that the first picture represents
Bogdan [553]

The question is incomplete. There's missing the image, which is shown below.

Answer:

Volume of O₂ = 6 L, volume of mixture: 18 L, volume of H₂O = 12 L, molecule volume of H₂O = 0.667 molecule/L

Explanation:

The reaction between hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to form water is:

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

So, for 1 mol of O₂ is necessary 2 moles of H₂ form 2 moles of H₂O. As the images below there's 8 molecules of H₂, 4 molecules of O₂, 12 molecules in the mixture, and 8 molecules of H₂O. Thus, there are stoichiometric values.

All the images are at the same temperature and pressure, so, by the ideal gas law:

PV= nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature.

The number of moles and molecules are related, so let's substitute it in the equation. For the H₂:

P*12 = 8*RT

RT/P = 12/8 = 1.5

Thus, for O₂:

PV= nRT

V = n*(RT/P)

V = 4*1.5 = 6 L

For the mixture:

V = 12*1.5 = 18 L

For H₂O:

V = 8*1.5 = 12 L

The molecule volume is the number of molecules divided by the volume they occupy, thus for water: 8/12 = 0.667 molecules/L

timurjin [86]

Answer:

1. The new volume is 14L

2. The volume decreased

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial Volume (V1) = 14.2 L

Initial pressure (P1) = 102.5 kPa

Initial temperature (T1) = 33°C

Final pressure (P2) = 100.9 kPa

Final temperature (T2) = 24°C.

Final volume (V2) =?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This is illustrated below:

K = °C + 273

T1 = 33°C = 33°C + 273 = 306K

T2 = 24°C = 24°C + 273 = 297K

Step 3:

Determination of the new volume.

Applying the general gas equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, the new volume can be obtain as follow:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

102.5 x 14.2/306 = 100.9 x V2/297

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

306 x 100.9 x V2 = 102.5 x14.2 x297

Divide both side by 306 x 100.9

V2 = (102.5x14.2x297)/(306 x 100.9)

V2 = 14 L

The new volume is 14 L.

Step 4:

Determination of the change in volume. This is illustrated below

Final volume (V2) = 14 L

Initial volume (V1) = 14.2 L

Change in volume (ΔV) =?

Change in volume (ΔV) = Final volume (V2) - Initial volume (V1)

ΔV = V2 - V1

ΔV = 14 - 14.2

ΔV = - 0.2L

Since the change in volume is negative, it means there is a decrease in the volume.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

1.428 moles

Explanation:

If 0.0714 moles of N2 gas occupies 1.25 L space,

how many moles of N2 have a volume of 25.0 L?

Assume temperature and pressure stayed constant.

we experience it 0.0714 moles: 1.25L space

x moles : 25L of space

to get the x moles, cross multiply

(0.0714 x 25)/1.25

1.785/1.25 = 1.428 moles
