Please Help! Let P and V represent the pressure and volume of Xe(g). If a piston is used to reduce the volume of the gas to V/2

at a constant temperature, what is the new pressure in the container in terms of the original pressure, P?
What happens to the average speed of the Xe (g) atoms as the original volume is reduced to V/2 at a constant temperature? Explain.

1) 2P

2) Average speed does not change

Explanation:

1)

To solve the first part of the problem, we can use Boyle's Law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

Mathematically:

pV=const.

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is its volume

For the Xe gas in this problem we can write

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where:

p_1 = P is the initial pressure

V_1=V is the initial volume

V_2=\frac{V}{2} is the final volume

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure:

p_2=\frac{P V_1}{V_2}=\frac{pV}{V/2}=2P

So, the pressure has doubled.

2)

The average speed of the atoms/molecules in the gas is given by the formula

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

where

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature (in Kelvin) of the gas

M is the molar mass of the gas

v_{rms} is known as rms speed of the particles in the gas

From the formula, we see that the speed of the atoms in the gas depends only on the temperature of the gas.

In the Xe(g) gas in this problem, the temperature is kept constant; therefore, since nothing changes in the formula, this means that the average speed also does not change.

Find the number of moles in 6120 ions of NaCl . Round your answer to two decimal places. Input your answer as 1.03E23, which is
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

NaCl = Na⁺ + Cl⁻

6120 ions of NaCl will contain 3060 ions of Na⁺ and 3060 ions of Cl⁻ , forming 3060 molecules of NaCl .

6.02 x 10²³ molecules of NaCl = 1 mole

3060 molecules of NaCl = 3060 x 10⁻²³ / 6.02 moles

= 508.30 x 10⁻²³ moles

= 5.08 x 10⁻²¹ moles

Answer : 5.08E-21 moles  .

hich of the following changes always leads to an increase in the rate constant for a reaction: Decreasing the temperature Decrea
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Only one—(i), or (ii), or (iii)—increases the reaction rate.

Explanation:

<em>Which of the following changes always leads to an increase in the rate constant for a reaction?</em>

  • <em>Decreasing the temperature. </em>NO. A lower temperature leads to a slower reaction because the molecules have less energy to react.
  • <em>Decreasing the activation energy</em>. YES. According to the Arrhenius equation, the lower the activation energy, the higher the rate constant.
  • <em>Making the value of ΔE more negative</em>. NO. A more negative ΔE means a reaction is more spontaneous but not faster.

Answer:

                    Polyatomic Ionic Compound

Explanation:

                     In given statement the compound given is called as Sodium oleate this means that when Oleic acid is treated with NaOH then it forms.

                     In chemistry there are few species which are involved in the formation of compounds.

  (i) Atoms:

                  It is very common that atoms of different elements combine to form compound through covalent bond. For example, H₂, O₂, N₂, F₂ e.t.c.

   (i) Ions:

                  Other than covalent compounds we have ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are made up of ions. These ions forming the ionic compounds can be monatomic like Na⁺, Br⁻, Mg²⁺, Al³⁺, N⁻³ or they can be polyatomic like CO₃²⁻, SO₄²⁻, NH₄⁺, PO₄³⁻ e.t.c.

    (iii) Polyatomic Ions:

                                     In polyatomic ions we find a charge on a molecule which contains two or more atoms bonded covalently. Hence, in given compound we have a long chain of molecule containing a negative charge neutralized by opposite +ve charged sodium ion. Hence, Sodium oleate is a polyatomic ionic compound.
