Why was the line of best fit method used to determine the experimental value of absolute zero?

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>Because the x-intercet of the graph represents volume zero, which indicates the minimum possible temperature or absolute zero.</em></u>

Explanation:

Charle's Law for ideal gases states that, at constant pressure, the <em>temperature</em> and the <em>volume</em> of a sample of gas are protortional.

                       \dfrac{V}{T}=k\\\\V=kT

That means that the graph of the relationship between Temperature, in Kelivn, and Volume is a line, which passes through the origin.

When you work with Temperature in Celsius, and the temperature is placed on the x-axis, the line is shifted to the left  273.15ºC.

Meaning that the Volume at 273.15ºC is zero.

You cannot reach such low temperatures in an experiment, and also, volume zero is not real.

Nevertheless, you can draw the line of best fit and extend it until the x-axis (corresponding to a theoretical volume equal to zero), and read the corresponding temperature.

Subject to the experimental errors, and the fact that the real gases are not ideal, the temperature that you read on the x-axis is the minimum possible temperature (<em>absolute zero</em>) as the minimum possible volume is zero.

Calculate the amount of oxygen gas collected by the displacement of water at 14◦C if the atmospheric pressure is 790 Torr and th
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer : The amount of oxygen gas collected are, 0.217 mol

Explanation :

Using ideal gas equation :

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = (790-12)torr=778torr=1.02atm     (1 atm = 760 torr)

V = volume of gas = 5 L

T = temperature of gas = 14^oC=273+14=287K

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = gas constant  = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

(1.02atm)\times (5L)=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (287K)

n=0.217mole

Thus, the amount of oxygen gas collected are, 0.217 mol

A balloon is filled to a volume of 1.50 L with 3.00 mol of gas at 25 C. with pressure and temperature held constant, what will b
bixtya [17]

Answer:

3.2L

Explanation:

PV=nRT

since pressure and temperature are held constant we have V=nR

R is a constant also,

Thus; \frac{v1}{n1}=\frac{v2}{n2}

v1=1.5L  , n1=3mol, n2=1.4mol

\frac{1.5}{3}=\frac{v2}{1.4}

v2=\frac{1.5}{3}*1.4

v2=3.2L
