Prior Knowledge Question (Do this BEFORE using the Gizmo.) A small helium tank measures about two feet (60 cm) high. Yet it can

fill over 50 balloons! How can such a small tank contain enough helium to fill so many balloons

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Gas molecules are very light and can always occupy the entire volume of the container in which they reside.

They can also be easily compressed enough into small spaces too.

So, a small helium tank can contain so much helium gas to serve 50 balloons. The molecules of helium gas pumped into each balloon just expand and occupy the entirety of the balloon's volume.

These postulations are the assumptions that hold true for ideal gases.

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer: It is because the gas tank is under a lot of pressure which causes it to occupy a lesser volume.

Explanation: This is explained using Boyle's Law.

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a given mass of gas (an ideal gas) is inversely proportional to its volume.

That is the more pressure and force exerted on a gas, the lesser the volume or space it can take up.

In this instance, the small tank can contain a lot of helium because the gas shrinks due to the amount of pressure (which is caused by the quantity of gas inputed into the tank) which creates space for more gas to occupy.

Describe how the height of the tides changes from Monday to Thursday.
adoni [48]
One of the results is that the moon is near the earth and the other one, the oceans tide. Even though the earth can hold any object within
ts proximity, the ocean is partly attracted due to its liquid property. At night, the ocean tends to be attracted to the moon by creating a bulge and assigning it as ‘high tide’. This is due to the strong gravitational pull of th moon to the earth.

A mass of 100.0 g of NaCl is added to 100.0 mL of water, but not all of it dissolves. A mass of 59.5 grams of NaCl solid remains
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The molarity of the dissolved NaCl is 6.93 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NaCl = 100.0 grams

Volume of water = 100.0 mL = 0.1 L

Remaining mass NaCl = 59.5 grams

Molar mass NaCl= 58.44 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the dissolved mass of NaCl

100 - 59. 5 = 40.5 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles NaCl = 40.5 grams / 58.44 g/mol

Moles NaCl = 0.693 moles

Step 4: Calculate molarity

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity dissolved NaCl = 0.693 moles / 0.1 L

Molarity dissolved NaCl = 6.93 M

The molarity of the dissolved NaCl is 6.93 M

Consider the reaction: 2 H2O (g)-->2 H2 (g) + O2 (g). ΔH=483.6 Kj/mol. If 2 moles of H2O (g) are converted H2(g) and O2(g) ag
denis-greek [22]
DE = dH - PdV 

<span>2 H2O(g) → 2 H2(g) + O2(g) </span>

<span>You can see that there are 2 moles of gas in the reactants and 3 moles of gas in the products. </span>

<span>1 moles of ideal gas occupies the same volume as 1 mole of any other ideal gas under the same conditions of temp and pressure. </span>

<span>Since it is done under constant temp and pressure that means the volume change will be equal to the volume of 1 mole of gas </span>

<span>2 moles reacts to form 3 moles </span>

<span>The gas equation is </span>

<span>PV = nRT </span>
<span>P = pressure </span>
<span>V = volume (unknown) </span>
<span>n = moles (1) </span>
<span>R = gas constant = 8.314 J K^-1 mol^-1 </span>
<span>- the gas constant is different for different units of temp and pressure (see wikki link) in this case temp and pressure are constant, and we want to put the result in an equation that has Joules in it, so we select 8.314 JK^-1mol^-1) </span>
<span>T = temp in Kelvin (kelvin = deg C + 273.15 </span>
<span>So T = 403.15 K </span>

<span>Now, you can see that PV is on one side of the equation, and we are looking to put PdV in our dE equation. So we can say </span>

<span>dE = dH -dnRT (because PV = nRT) </span>

<span>Also, since the gas constant is in the unit of Joules, we need to convert dH to Joules </span>

<span>dH = 483.6 kJ/mol = 483600 Joules/mol </span>

<span>dE = 483600 J/mol - (1.0 mol x 8.314 J mol^-1K-1 x 403.15 K) </span>
<span>dE = 483600 J/mol - 3351.77 J </span>
<span>dE = 480248.23 J/mol </span>
<span>dE = 480.2 kJ/mol </span>
