Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • A force exerted due to collision or pushing an object is known as pressure. A pressure on an object can be exerted by external factors or internal molecules.

For example, when atoms of a gas are colliding on the walls of a container then pressure is caused by them.

  • Stress is defined as the external force applied over per unit area of an object.
  • Gravity is defined as the force which tends to pull an object towards the center of the Earth.
  • Friction is defined as the force that resists the motion of an object when its surface comes in contact with the ground or it slides.

Thus, we can conclude that the effect of atoms colliding with the walls of a container is called pressure.

Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
Scrat [10]
It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them. Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).

A chamber with a fixed volume is shown above. The temperature of the gas inside the chamber before heating is 25.2 C and it’s pr
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial temperature T₁  = 25.2°C  = 25.2 + 273  = 298.2K

Initial pressure  = P₁  = 0.6atm

Final temperature = 72.4°C   = 72.4 + 273  = 345.4K

Unknown:

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use an adaption of the combined gas law where the volume gas is fixed. This simplification results into:

                  \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }   = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }

where P and T are temperatures, 1 and 2 are initial and final temperatures.

 Input the parameters and solve;

          \frac{0.6}{298.2}   = \frac{P_{2} }{345.4}  

          P₂   = 0.7atm
