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

Why are mass and volume not properties of substances
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity

How are breathing and cellular respiration related? (15 points if answered)
IgorLugansk [536]

Cellular respiration is not the same thing as breathing, but they are closely related. When you breathe in, you take in the When you breathe in, you take in the oxygen your cells need for cellular respiration. When you breathe out, you get rid of the carbon dioxide that your cells produce during cellular respiration

(hope this helps ^^)
