Answer:

All soil is made up of inorganic mineral particles, organic matter (including living things), air and water. Inorganic mineral particles make up more than half the volume of soil. These particles come from rocks – the parent material that formed the soil.

Hope this helps!

if 30.0L of oxygen are cooled from 200 degrees celsius to 1 degree celsius at constant pressure, what is the new volume of oxyge

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 18.65L

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of oxygen (V1) = 30.0L

Original temperature of oxygen (T1) = 200°C

[Convert temperature in Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.

So, (200°C + 273 = 473K)]

New volume of oxygen V2 = ?

New temperature of oxygen T2 = 1°C

(1°C + 273 = 274K)

Since volume and temperature are given while pressure is held constant, apply the formula for Charle's law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

30.0L/473K = V2/294K

To get the value of V2, cross multiply

30.0L x 294K = 473K x V2

8820L•K = 473K•V2

Divide both sides by 473K

8820L•K / 473K = 473K•V2/473K

18.65L = V2

Thus, the new volume of oxygen is 18.65 liters.

If the pressure inside the cylinder increases to 1.3 atm, what is the final

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

1.4 × 10² mL

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I looked at the question online.

The air in a cylinder with a piston has a volume of 215 mL and a pressure of 625 mmHg. If the pressure inside the cylinder increases to 1.3 atm, what is the final volume, in milliliters, of the cylinder?

Step 1: Given data

Initial volume (V₁): 215 mL

Initial pressure (P₁): 625 mmHg

Final volume (V₂): ?

Final pressure (P₂): 1.3 atm

Step 2: Convert 625 mmHg to atm

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 mmHg.

625 mmHg × 1 atm/760 mmHg = 0.822 atm

Step 3: Calculate the final volume of the air

Assuming constant temperature and ideal behavior, we can calculate the final volume of the air using Boyle's law.

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

V₂ = P₁ × V₁ / P₂

V₂ = 0.822 atm × 215 mL / 1.3 atm = 1.4 × 10² mL

The equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction (CH3),CCI (g) = (CH3),C=CH, (g) + HCl (g) is 3.45 at 500. K. (5.00 x 10K) Calculate

Karolina [17]

Answer: The value of $K_p$ for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of $(CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl$ is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.

Explanation:

Relation of $K_p$ with $K_c$ is given by the formula:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}$

where,

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 3.45

$K_c$ = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature = 500 K

$\Delta n_g$ = change in number of moles of gas particles = $n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-1=1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.45=K_c\times (0.0821\times 500)^{1}\\\\K_c=\frac{3.45}{0.0821\times 500}=0.084$

The equation used to calculate concentration of a solution is:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume (in L)}}$

Initial moles of $(CH_3)_3CCl(g)$ = 1.00 mol

Volume of the flask = 5.00 L

So, $\text{Concentration of }(CH_3)_3CCl=\frac{1.00mol}{5.00L}=0.2M$

For the given chemical reaction:

$(CH_3)_3CCl(g)\rightarrow (CH_3)_2C=CH(g)+HCl(g)$

Initial: 0.2 - -

At Eqllm: 0.2 - x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above reaction follows:

$K_c=\frac{[(CH_3)_2C=CH]\times [HCl]}{[(CH_3)_3CCl]}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.084=\frac{x\times x}{0.2-x}\\\\x^2+0.084x-0.0168=0\\\\x=0.094,-0.178$

Negative value of 'x' is neglected because initial concentration cannot be more than the given concentration

Calculating the concentration of reactants and products:

$[(CH_3)_2C=CH]=x=0.094M$

$[HCl]=x=0.094M$

$[(CH_3)_3CCl]=(0.2-x)=(0.2-0.094)=0.106M$

Hence, the value of $K_p$ for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of $(CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl$ is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.
