Regards!

Boyle's law, which summarizes these observations, states that: the volume of a certain amount of gas, which is maintained at a constant temperature, is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted, which is summarized in the following expression:

P.V = constant or P = 1 / V

Example:

An inflated balloon with a volume of 0.55L at sea level (1.0 atm) is allowed to rise to a height of 6.5 km, where the pressure is about 0.40 atm.

Assuming that the temperature remains constant, what is the final volume of the balloon?

Reasoning and solution:

Note that the number of moles and the temperature of the gas remain constant, so Boyle's law is used. From the equation:

P1V1 = P2 V2

Where P1 = 1 atm, V1 = 0.55L and P2 = 0.40 atm, as well

V2 = V1 x (P1 / P2) = 0.55 L x (1 atm / 0.40 atm) = 1.4 L

When the pressure is reduced (at a constant temperature), the volume increases. The final volume is greater than the initial volume, so the answer is reasonable.

Answer:

Carboxylic acids react with diazomethane to produce methyl esters.

Explanation:

Diazomethane has a high reactivity and is used to produce methyl esters with carboxylic acid in a immediately reaction, carried out at room temperature in the absence of catalysts.

As we can see in the image below

In the First Step, occurs an acid-base reaction to obtain the "carboxylate" ion.

Second Step: The Carboxylate attacks the protonated diazomethane by a SN2 reaction to finally get the Methyl Ester.

The subproduct is Nitrogen; knowing this, we must be careful with the production of this gas, and do the process in a vented place

Answer:

n and l

Explanation:

What information is needed to determine the energy of an electron in a many-electron atom?

We need to know the principal quantum number (n) and the angular quantum number (l). The higher the n, the more energy the electron has. For the same n, the higher the l, the more energy the electron has.

What information is needed to determine the orientation of orbital?

We need to know the magnetic quantum number (m). For instance, in an orbital s, m can only take the value 0, because there is only one possible orientation. In p orbitals, m can take the values -1, 0 and -1, which reflects the 3 possible orientations.

What information is most important in determining the size of an orbitaI?

The size of an orbital depends on the principal quantum number (n). The higher the n, the larger the orbital.

What information is needed to determine the general shape of an orbital?

The general shape of an orbital is determined by the angular quantum number (l). When l takes the value 0, the orbital is "s" (spheric). When l takes the value 1, the orbital is "p" (lobed shape), etc.
