Answer:
Lichens can be used as air pollution indicators, especially of the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. Lichens are organisms that grow in exposed places such as rocks or tree bark. They need to be very efficient at absorbing water and nutrients to grow there.
Answer:
0.0613 L
Explanation:
Given data
- Initial pressure (P₁): 1.00 atm
- Initial volume (V₁): 1.84 L
- Final pressure (P₂): 30.0 atm
Since we are dealing with an ideal gas, we can calculate the final volume using Boyle's law.
P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂
V₂ = P₁ × V₁ / P₂
V₂ = 1.00 atm × 1.84 L / 30.0 atm
V₂ = 0.0613 L
Explanation:
(Ques- A) Why does the first method for determining volume work only for a regular-shaped object?
<u>(Ans- A)</u> <em>Because the method requires precise dimensions of objects for result, which is not possible for irregular shaped objects.</em>
(Ques - B) Will the second method for determining volume work for any object or just an odd-shaped one? Why?
<u>(Ans-B)</u> <em>It will work for both regular and irregular shaped objects since both displace equal volumes of water.</em>
(Ques - C) Is one method of measurement more accurate than the other? Why or why not?
<u>(Ans-C)</u> <em>Both are pretty accurate, with some experimental errors which may creep in accidentally. </em>
(Ques- D) Would the displacement method of measurement work for a cube of sugar? What about a cork? Why?
<u>(Ans - D)</u> <em>No, the method would not work because sugar being soluble, will dissolve in water. </em>
<em>No, the method would not work because sugar being soluble, will dissolve in water. Cork is less dense than water so floats on it, with only part of it submerged in water, resulting in displacement of less volume of water than actual volume of Cork.</em>
(Ques-E) What did you find out from this investigation? Be thoughtful in your answer.
<u>(Ans- E)</u> <em>I learnt about determining volume of different objects from this investigation. </em>(Sorry, I know its not a very thoughtful answer)
