A certain sample of a gas has a volume of 20 L at 0°C and 1 atm. A plot of the experimental data of its volume against the Celsi

us temperature, at constant P, gives a straight line of slope 0.0741 L(C)^-1. From these data alone (without making use of the perfect gas law), determine the absolute zero of temperature in degrees Celsius.

Answer:

-270 °C

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line in which y (dependent variable) is plotted against x (independent variable) is given as y = mx + b. Where m is the slope of the graph and b is the intercept (y value when x = 0).

Given that the volume (V) is plotted against the Celsius temperature (T). It can be represented by the function:

V = mT + b

m = slope = 0.0741 L(C)^-1, b = intercept (value of volume at temperature of 0°) = 20 L

Hence:

V = 0.0741T + 20

At absolute zero, V = 0 L, therefore:

0 = 0.0741T + 20

0.0741T = -20

T = -20 / 0.0741

T = -269.9

T ≅ -270 °C

7nadin3 [17]
The part of the atom that is involved in chemical changes is A. electron. The electrons that are in the most outer shells are called valence electrons which are easily removed or shared to form bonds. Valence electrons are related to the number of valence electrons

Compared to micellular Compound 1, Compound 2 is structurally more rigid as a result of what type of interaction?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

D. Intramolecular covalent bond

Explanation:

Compound D is structurally more rigid  as a result of intramolecular covalent bonding. The forces that hold together atoms within a compound are greater as compared to forces holding two molecules  together (intermolecular bonding). On the other hand  Hydrogen bonds are weaker as compared to covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms and Hydrogen bonds are formed between a highly electronegative  atom like oxygen, Flourine,Chlorine to hydrogen.

An element has an atomic number of 18 and an atomic mass of 40. The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of this element
Vikentia [17]

Answer: 22 neutrons

Explanation: 40 is the mass number = atomic mass = total number of protons and neutrons in atomic nucleus

18 is the number of protons in the nucleus of this atom

Then 40 - 18 = 22 neutrons

and this is Argon
