Answer:

8.03L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume, V₁ = 8.7L

Initial temperature T₁ = 50°C , in Kelvin gives 50+273 = 323K

Final temperature T₂ = 25°C, in Kelvin gives 25 + 273 = 298K

Unknown:

Final volume V₂ = ?

Solution:

Since we are dealing with volume and temperature relationships under constant pressure, we simply apply the Charles's law.

Charles's law states that "the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to the temperature provided the pressure remains constant".

Mathematically, we have;

$\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

where V andV T are volume and temperature, 1 and 2 are initial and final states.

Input the parameters and solve for V₂;

$\frac{8.7}{323} = \frac{V_{2} }{298}$

V₂ = 8.03L

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Rate constant at 725 K is $5.2\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}$

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation for a reaction-

$ln(\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}})=\frac{E_{a}}{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})$

where $k_{2}$ and $k_{1}$ are rate constants of reaction at $T_{2}$ and $T_{1}$ temperatures (in kelvin) respectively.

$E_{a}$ is activation energy of reaction.

Here $T_{1}$ = 600 K , $k_{1}$ = $6.1\times 10^{-8}s^{-1}$

$T_{2}$ = 725 K, $E_{a}$ = 262 kJ/mol and R = 8.314 J/(mol.K)

So plugin all the values in the above equation-

$ln(\frac{k_{2}}{6.1\times 10^{-8}s^{-1}})=\frac{262\times 10^{3}J/mol}{8.314J/(mol.K)}\times (\frac{1}{600K}-\frac{1}{725K})$

So, $k_{2}$ = $5.2\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}$

Hence rate constant at 725 K is $5.2\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Before our universe was created there was something that had happened to have created the universe. The big bang theory was a major part of why the universe was created. There are so many things that had to be contributed to the big bang theory. We don’t really know what will happen to our universe in the future but we can make predictions about it and we can use evidence and justifications to predict what will happen.

The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began. At its simplest, it talks about the universe as we know it starting with a small singularity, then inflating over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today. Because current instruments don't allow astronomers to peer back at the universe's birth, much of what we understand about the Big Bang Theory comes from mathematical theory and models. Astronomers can, however, see the "echo" of the expansion through a phenomenon known as the cosmic microwave background. The phrase "Big Bang Theory" has been popular among astrophysicists for decades, but it hit the mainstream in 2007 when a comedy show with the same name premiered on CBS. The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment.

There are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Experts however say that there was no explosion; there was (and continues to be) an expansion. Rather than imagining a balloon popping and releasing its contents, imagine a balloon expanding: an infinitesimally small balloon expanding to the size of our current universe. Another misconception is that we tend to image the singularity as a little fireball appearing somewhere in space. According to the many experts however, space didn't exist prior to the Big Bang. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, when men first walked upon the moon, "three British astrophysicists, Steven Hawking, George Ellis, and Roger Penrose turned their attention to the Theory of Relativity and its implications regarding our notions of time. In 1968 and 1970, they published papers in which they extended Einstein's Theory of General Relativity to include measurements of time and space. According to their calculations, time and space had a finite beginning that corresponded to the origin of matter and energy. I also know that there was a Big Bang is the fact that as things are moving closer to you the waves get compressed and as they are moving away from you the waves get stretched out. With light the shorter waves are the blue and the longer ones are the red and the further away a galaxy is the more red shifted it is indicating that the galaxies are all moving away from each other indicating that the universe was once much smaller and that at one time it was a singularity, which expanded until it got to the size it is today.

Do all comets have tails? Explain

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Some (most) has two tails.You can see the tails when the comets go near the sun.There are two types of comet tails,dust and gas ion. Comet tails can be over 600,000 miles (1 million km) long.Because the comet dust particles are so small, they are pushed away from the Sun into a long tail.They are made of ices, such as water, carbon dioxide, ammonia and methane, mixed with dust.There are so much more to discover about comets (which I might not know).

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!
