Answer:

1.84 L

Explanation:

Using the equation for reversible work:

W = -P*(V_{2} - V_{1})

Where:

W is the work done (J) = -287 J.

Since the gas did work, therefore W is negative.

P is the pressure in atm = 1.90 atm.

However, work done is in joules and pressure is in atm. We can use the values of universal gas constant as a convenient conversion unit. R = 8.314 J/(mol*K);  R = 0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol*K)

Therefore, the conversion unit is 0.0821/8.314 = 0.00987 (L*atm)/J

V_{1} is the initial volume = 0.350 L

V_{2} is the final volume = ?

Thus:

(-287 J)*0.00987 (L*atm)/J = -1.9 atm*(V_{2} - 0.350) L

V_{2} = [(287*0.00987)+(1.9*0.350)]/1.9 = (2.833+0.665)/1.9 =1.84 L

The equation for the chemical reaction shown below is not balanced. What number should replace the question mark to balance this
malfutka [58]
B. the number 3.
there are 2Al's on both sides and 6 Cl's on the right side so to balance it, you multiply Cl2 by 3 to get 6 Cl's.

Select the correct answer.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

A. The model could not explain how alpha particles could be deflected at large angles.

Explanation:

The plum pudding model of the atom was proposed by J. J Thomson. He suggested that that an atom is made up of dense particles of electrons surrounded by positive charges.

From the Gold foil experiment carried out by Ernest Rutherford, he noticed that the bulk of the alpha particles targeted at the foil passed through and a little fraction was heavily deflected back.

Rutherford then presented his nuclear model from here. He suggested a massive, dense and tiny nucleus where the protons and neutrons are located. The space outside the mass is dominated by orbiting electrons.

Do x-rays travel slower than infrared
OleMash [197]
No, x-rays do not travel slower than infrared radiation or even the opposite. Both are travelling in vacuum therefore they travel at same speed. They differ in the frequency of the electromagnetic waves.
