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 caused the bonding of two atoms which undergo an ionic bond?
Keith_Richards [23]
C. As we know, an atom is made of three parts--protons (+), neutrons (core), and electrons (-) When one of these atoms loses one or more electron(s), it becomes a cation, or a positively charged ion. Inversely, when this atom gains a positively charged ion, [the atom] becomes a negatively charged atom, or an anion. The bond is made through electrostatic attraction, and a bond between these two "halves of a whole", it is known as an ionic bond.

A 3.0 g sample of a gas occupies a volume of 1.00L at 100C and 740 torr pressure. The molecular weight of the
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

94.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Ideal Gases Law can useful to solve this

P . V = n . R . T

We need to make some conversions

740 Torr . 1 atm/ 760 Torr = 0.974 atm

100°C + 273 = 373K

Let's replace the values

0.974 atm . 1 L = n . 0.082 L.atm/ mol.K . 373K

n will determine the number of moles

(0.974 atm . 1 L) / (0.082 L.atm/ mol.K . 373K)

n = 0.032 moles

This amount is the weigh for 3 g of gas. How many grams does 1 mol weighs?

Molecular weight → g/mol → 3 g/0.032 moles = 94.2 g/mol
