A gas exerts a pressure of 1.8 atm at a temperature of 60 degrees celsius. What is the new temperature when the pressure of the
Kamila [148]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 740 K</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure of the gas (P_{1}) = 1.8 atm

Final pressure of the gas (P_{2})  = 4 atm

Initial temperature of the gas (T_{1}) = 60°C = 60 + 273 = 333 K

To solve:

Final temperature of the gas (T_{2})

We know;

From the ideal gas equation;

we know;

P  × V = n × R × T

So;

we can tell from the above equation;

 <u>   P ∝ T</u>

(i.e.)

      <em> </em>\frac{P}{T}<em> = constant</em>

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

Where;

P_{1}  = initial pressure of a gas

P_{2} = final pressure of a gas

T_{1} = initial temperature of a gas

T_{2} = final temperature of a gas

        \frac{1.8}{4} = \frac{333}{T_{2} }

   T_{2} =\frac{333*4}{1.8}

    T_{2} = 740 K

<u><em>Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 740 K</em></u>

A molecular biologist measures the mass of cofactor a in an average yeast cell. the mass is 41.5 pg . what is the total mass in
Hitman42 [59]
The unit pg stands for pictogram. It is one-trillionth of a gram. Because of the very small mass, it is expressed in the prefix form of the base units for convenience. Now, the mass of cofactor a is 41.5 pg per cell. Since there are a total of 105 cells, the total mass would be:

Total mass = 105 cells * 41.5 pg/cell = 4,357.5 pg

Which of the following is not a possible termination step in the free radical chlorination of methane? Group of answer choices ∙
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: first option is not a termination

∙CH3 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + Cl∙

Explanation:

Since a radical is formed as part of the product it means it's a propagation step and not a termination step, at termination no free radical exist as product

Positive Deviation from Raoult's Law occurs when the vapour pressure of component is greater than what is expected in Raoult's L
8090 [49]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

In positive deviation from Raoult's  Law occur when the vapour pressure of components is greater than what is expected value in Raoult's law.

When a solution is non ideal then it shows positive or negative deviation.

Let two solutions A and B to form non- ideal solutions.let the vapour pressure  of component A is P_A and vapour pressure of component B is P_B.

P^0_A= Vapour pressure of component A in pure form

P^0_B= Vapour pressure of component B in pure form

x_A=Mole fraction of component A

x_B==Mole fraction of component B

The interaction between A- B is less than the interaction A- A and B-B interaction.Therefore, the escaping tendency of liquid molecules in mixture is greater than the escaping tendency in pure form.Hence, the vapour pressure of a mixture is greater than the initial value of vapour pressure.

P_A >P^0_A\cdot x_A,P_B>P^0_B\cdot x_B

Therefore, P_A+P_B >P^0_A\cdot x_A+P^0_B \cdot x_B

Therefore, the enthalpy of mixing is greater than zero and change in volume is greater than zero.

Hence, option a,b,c and d are true.
