Why are gases compressible

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
7 0

Hi my dear friend,

The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together. There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together. ... Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

~Thank you

What can be said of a closed system when an exothermic reaction proceeds in an aqueous solution?
lyudmila [28]
An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction that dissipates heat as the reaction proceeds. This would mean that in a closed system, when a reaction proceeds and is endothermic, the temperature of the solution  or the system would increase so as to maintain the equilibrium with the whole system.

VA 19.75-g sample was heated by 12.35 calories. The specific heat of the sample is 0.125 cal/g°C. What was the initial temperatu
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

31.9 °C  

Explanation:

The formula for the heat q absorbed by an object is

q = mCΔT where ΔT = (T₂ - T₁)

Data:

q = 12.35 cal

m = 19.75 g

C = 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹

T₂ = 37.0 °C

Calculations

(a) Calculate ΔT

q = mCΔT

12.35 cal = 19.25 g × 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × ΔT

12.35 = 2.406ΔT °C⁻¹  

ΔT  = 12.35/(2.406 °C⁻¹) = 5.13 °C

(b) Calculate T₂

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₁ = T₂ - ΔT = 37.0 °C - 5.13 °C = 31.9 °C

The original temperature was 31.9 °C.

If 3.53 g of CuNO, is dissolved in water to make a 0.330 M solution, what is the volume of the solution in milliliters?
solmaris [256]

Answer:

84.8 mL

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of CuNO₃ = 3.53 g

Molarity of CuNO₃ = 0.330 M

Volume of solution =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 3.53 g of CuNO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CuNO₃ = 3.53 g

Molar mass of CuNO₃ = 63.5 + 14 + (16×3)

= 63.5 + 14 + 48

= 125.5 g/mol

Mole of CuNO₃ =?

Mole = mass / Molar mass

Mole of CuNO₃ = 3.53 / 125.5

Mole of CuNO₃ = 0.028 moles

Next, we shall determine the volume of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Molarity of CuNO₃ = 0.330 M

Mole of CuNO₃ = 0.028 moles

Volume of solution =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

0.330 = 0.028 / Volume

Cross multiply

0.330 × Volume = 0.028

Divide both side by 0.330

Volume = 0.028 / 0.330

Volume = 0.0848 L

Finally, we shall convert 0.0848 L to millilitres (mL). This can be obtained as follow:

1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore,

0.0848 L = 0.0848 L × 1000 mL / 1 L

0.0848 L = 84.8 mL

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 84.8 mL.
