Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author is probably reminding us that knowing the origins of words helps us to remember what they mean.

If "verde" means "green", the "verd" in "verdigris" probably means that verdigris is green.

However, the "verd" in verdigris domes from other languages.

It was originally Latin "viride aeris" (green brass).

In old French it became "verte de Grèce" (green of Greece). The modern French spelling is "vert-de-gris" (green of grey).

The English word "verdigris" comes from the French words.

A balloon is filled to a volume of 1.50 L with 3.00 moles of gas at 25 °C. With pressure and temperature held constant, what wil
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Volume : 1.25 L

Explanation:

We are given here that the volume ( V_1 ) = 1.50 Liters, the initial moles ( held at 25 °C ) = 3.00 mol, and the final moles ( n_2 ) = 3.00 - 0.5 = 2.5 mol. The final mol is calculated given that 0.50 mol of gas are released from the prior 3.00 moles of gas.

Volume ( V_1 ) = 1.50 L,

Initial moles ( n_1 ) = 3.00 mol,

Final Volume ( n_2 ) = 3.00 - 0.5 = 2.5 mol

Applying the combined gas law, we can calculate the final volume ( V_2 ).

P_1V_1 / n_1T_1 = P_2V_2 / n_2T_2 - we know that the pressure and temperature are constant, and therefore we can apply the following formula,

V_1 / n_1 = V_2 / n_2 - isolate V_2,

V_2 = V_1 n_2 / n_1 = 1.50 L * 2.5 mol / 3.00 mol = ( 1.5 * 2.5 / 3 ) L = 1.25 L

The volume of the balloon will be 1.25 L.
