The answer is C. Compressing the air reduces the volume and increases the pressure. Compressing the air causes the molecules to collide with one another, and with the walls of the container, at a higher frequency. This is becaue the number of molecules are still the same but now forced in a smaller volume of space. This why the pressure increases wiht reduced volume, while keeping the temperatures constant.

Answer: option C. Increasing the pressure on a gas decreases the volume.

Explanation:

Compressibility is the property of matter that relates the change (decrease) of volume under pressure (compression).

It is defined as the relative change in volume compared to a change in pressure.

Gases under normal conditions of pressure and temperature are highly compressible, since the molecules are widely separated.

You can see the inverse relation between pressure and volume in a gas by looking at the ideal gas equation:

pV = nRT

Hence, constant n, R and T means pV = constant, so as p increases V decreases, which leads to the conclusion stated by the option C: increasing the pressure on a gas decreases the volume.

What happens to the area of the world off the coast of Peru
joja [24]

Answer:The Peruvian west coast bordering the Pacific Ocean is a long desert strip that stretches from the departments of Tumbes in the north bordering Ecuador, to Tacna in the south bordering Chile for a total length of 1,555 miles or 2,500 km. The average temperature from December to April is 25 to 28C or 53 to 59F and the average temperature from May to November is 12 to 15C or 53 to 59F.

The coast covers about 10% of the territory but is home to more than 50% of the population. Large cities such as Lima, the capital, Trujillo, Chiclayo and Tacna are located in the coast. Cities along the coast are the center of economic activity attracting people from the interior of the country looking for economic prosperity.

idk hope this helps !!!!

If a lab requires each lab group to have 25ml of a solution and it takes 15 grams of CuNO3 to make 1 liter of solution how many
tino4ka555 [31]

We need to do some general algebra here.

We will find that you need 8.25 grams of CuNO₃ to make enough solution for the 22 labs.

<em>We know that:</em>

  • Each lab group needs 25 ml of solution.
  • it takes 15 g of CuNO₃ to make one L of that solution.
  • There are 22 labs.

Because each lab needs 25 ml of solution, 22 labs will need that amount 22 times, so the <u>total amount of solution needed</u> is:

22*25ml = 550 ml

Now we know that we need 15 grams to make one liter of solution, and:

1 L = 1000ml

Then you need 15g to make 1000ml

and x (we want to find this amount) to make 550ml

Then we can write two equations (not actual equations, as these are different units) like:

x = 550ml

15g = 1000ml

Now we can take the quotient between these two equations:

x/15 g = (550ml/1000ml)

And now we can solve this for x:

x = (550ml/1000ml)*15g = 8.25g

So you need 8.25 grams of CuNO₃ to make enough solution for the 22 labs.

What is the limiting reactant in the following equation? How much Fe2O3 will be produced if 2.1 g of Fe with 2.1 g of O2?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Fe is limiting, and it will produce .0188 mols of Fe2O3

Explanation:

after you convert both Fe and O2 to mols by using their molar mass, you see there is less Fe than O2 so that is your limiting reactant. To find the amount of Fe2O3 you devide the limiting reactant by it's coefeciant (4) then multiply it by the products coefficant (2). Let me know if you have any questions
