Why is graphite used in pencil lead

Chemistry
1 answer:
ra1l [238]3 years ago
8 0

The bonds between the layers are much weaker than covalent bonds. This enables the layers to slide across each other, making graphite soft. Graphite can also conduct electricity, between the layers of carbon atoms. Graphite is used as pencil 'lead'.

If I initially have 4.0 L of a gas at a pressure of 1.1 atm and a temperature of 298 K, what will the volume be if I increase th
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

1.34L

Explanation:

1 torr = 0.00132atm

P2= 2584torr = 3.41atm

T2= 37°C = 273+37 = 310K

Using combined gas law

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

(1.1×4.0)/298 = (3.41 × V2)/310

V2= (1.1×4×310)/(298×3.41)

V2= 1.34L

Which method can you use to investigate the compressibility of a gas?
Alina [70]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that in a gas, molecules are away from each other due to more kinetic energy between its particles. As a result, there are more number of collisions between them.

So, when we apply pressure on a gas then its molecules come closer to each other. Due to which there occurs decrease in its volume.

Thus, we can conclude that to investigate the compressibility of a gas increase the pressure on it.
