Anything that has mass and volume (takes up space) is called matter.
Answer:
Option C. Triple the number of moles
Explanation:
From the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
Where:
P is the pressure
V is the volume
n is the number of mole
R is the gas constant
T is the absolute temperature.
Making V the subject of the above equation, we have:
PV = nRT
Divide both side by P
V = nRT / P
Thus, we can say that the volume (V) is directly proportional to both the number of mole (n) and absolute temperature (T) and inversely proportional to the pressure (P). This implies that and increase in either the number of mole, the absolute temperature and a decrease in the presence will cause the volume to increase.
Thus, the correct option is option C triple the number of moles. This can further be seen as illustrated below:
Initial volume (V1) = 12 L
Initial mole (n1) = 0.5 mole
Final mole (n2) = triple the initial mole = 3 × 0.5 = 1.5 mole
Final volume (V2) =?
From:
V = nRT / P, keeping T and P constant, we have:
V1/n1 = V2/n2
12/0.5 = V2/1.5
24 = V2/1.5
Cross multiply
V2 = 24 × 1.5
V2 = 36 L.
Thus Option C gives the correct answer to the question.
Something made of pure iron<span> is softer </span>than steel<span> because the atoms can slip over one another. If other atoms like carbon are added, they are different from </span>iron<span> atoms and stop the </span>iron<span> atoms from sliding apart so easily. This makes the metal </span>stronger<span> and </span>harder<span>.</span>
