Where.. 
<span>[At] = concentration of component "A" after time = t has elapsed </span>
<span>k = rate constant </span>
<span>t = time elapsed </span>
<span>[Ao] = concentration at time = 0.. i.e.. the concentration you started with. </span>

<span>************ </span>
<span>now... you have pressure.. not concentration right? </span>

<span>if your gas is an ideal gas, then </span>
<span>PV = nRT </span>
<span>P = (n/V) x (RT) </span>

<span>and since "concentration" = moles / volume.. i.e.. [A] = n/v </span>
<span>and since "R" is a constant </span>
<span>and since "T" is a constant </span>

<span>[A] = P / (RT) </span>

<span>***** </span>
<span>so we can either do this.. </span>
<span>ln( Pt/(RT) ) = -kt + ln( Po/(RT)) </span>

<span>and since Pt and "t" vary and Po and R and T are constant </span>

<span>this is of the form </span>
<span>y = mx + b </span>

<span>if we let </span>
<span>.. y = ln( Pt / (RT) ) </span>
<span>.. m = -k </span>
<span>.. .x = time </span>
<span>.. b = ln( Po / (RT)) </span>

<span>i.e.. a plot of ln(P / RT) on the y-axis versus time on the x-axis will have a slope = -k </span>

<span>so.. </span>
<span>open up an excel spreadsheet </span>
<span>make three columns starting with T = </span>

<span>.. .. .. .. ..col A.. . .col B.. .. ,.Col C </span>
<span>row 1.... . t.. ... .P(torr)... . .ln[P/RT (M)]. </span>
<span>row 2.. ....0... .. . .502... .. .+ln(B2/760/0.08206/(273.15+215)) </span>
<span>row 3.. ....2000 . .335... .. .+ln(B3/760/0.08206/(273.15+215)) </span>
<span>etc.. </span>

<span>mouse to A2 </span>
<span>left click and hold </span>
<span>drag highlight to A7 </span>
<span>press and hold ctrl </span>
<span>release mouse (keep holding ctrl </span>
<span>mouse to c2 </span>
<span>left click and hold </span>
<span>drag to c7 </span>
<span>release ctrl </span>
<span>release mouse </span>
<span>left click insert </span>
<span>left click scatter </span>
<span>choose the upper left one with just the data points by left clicking on it </span>
<span>right click on any data point on the plot </span>
<span>left click add trendline </span>
<span>left click the two boxes to display equation on chart and display r^2 </span>
<span>close </span>
<span>right click on the equation that appeared on the plot </span>
<span>left click format trendline label </span>
<span>sent number format to display 8 decimal points </span>

<span>and... TADA.. you have.. </span>
<span>(1).. plotted ln(P/RT) vs time </span>
<span>(2).. fitted the data points with the equation y = -0.00020775x - 4.0986 </span>

<span>meaning.. </span>
<span>k in your rate equation </span>
<span>ln[At] = -kt + ln[Ao] </span>
<span>is... </span>
<span>k = +0.00020775 /s </span>

A sample of gas initially occupies 4.25 L at a pressure of 0.850 atm at 23.0°C. What will the volume be if the temperature is ch
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

2.31\text{ L}

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the final volume

We use the general gas equation here:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}\text{ = }\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

P1 is the initial pressure which is 0.850 atm

V1 is the initial volume which is 4.25 L

T1 is the initial temperature which is (23 + 273.15 = 296.15 K)

P2 is the final pressure which is 1.50 atm

V2 is the final volume which is unknown

T2 is the final temperature (11.5 + 273.15 = 284.65 K)

Substituting the values, we have:

\begin{gathered} \frac{0.850\text{ }\times4.25}{296.15}\text{ = }\frac{1.50\times V_2}{284.65} \\  \\ V_2\text{ = }\frac{284.65\text{ }\times0.850\times4.25}{1.5\times296.15} \\  \\ V_2\text{ = 2.31 L} \end{gathered}

Which of the following is the best definition of a scientific theory? A predicted experimental outcome A mathematical model (an
Mkey [24]

Answer:

A well tested explanation of a natural phenomenon

Explanation:

A scientific theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon which has been drawn from a well tested observation.

Theories are products of repeated scientific experiments. When a hypothesis otherwise known as a "scientific guess" survives a lot of scrutiny, we can elevate it to the status of a theory. Most theories starts off from simple observations. These observations can further spark series of experiments in such a field and a scientific guess proposed. Further testing and experimenting would now lead to a theory.
