Umm....."the following"? what do u mean? i can help u, but i need full question to do so.
Answer: Nitrogen gas
Explanation:
Using ideal Gas's law
PV = nRT
where
Pressure of gas, P= 1atm
Volume of gas, V= 5.1L
no of moles of gas, n=
Ideal gas constant, R= 0.0821
Temperature of gas, T= 20°C = 20+273 = 293K
also, n= (mass/molar mass)
mass of the gas m = 5.9g
Molar mass of the gas = ?
So, PV = (mRT/M)
We're looking for molar mass M, then
M = mRT/PV
M = (5.9 * 0.0821 * 293)/(1 * 5.1)
M = 141.93/5.1
M = 27.8g/mol ~ 28g/mol
Since the gas is diatomic, then we say,
Atomic mass of gas = 1/2 * molar mass
Atomic mass = 1/2 * 28
Atomic mass = 14
Therefore, the gas is nitrogen.
B) 37 V
The potential difference between point a and point b is equal to 37 V
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
The potential difference across a and b can be calculated by finding the equivalent resistance of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 and then by applying Ohm's law.
Given:
R1 = 3.0 Ω
R2 = 8.0 Ω
R3 = 10.0
Current = I = 5 A
<u>To calculate equivalent resistance of the circuit: </u>
R2 and R3 are connected in parallel configuration. The equivalent resistance of R2 and R3 can be calculated as
Resistance R1 is in series with Rp. The equivalent series resistance is calculated as
Thus the given 3 resistor circuit can be written as an equivalent resistance Rs equal to 7.44 Ω through which current I passes.
By Ohm's law;
If V is the potential difference between a and b
Potential difference across points a and b = Current flowing through the circuit × Resistance between points a and b
37.2 V ≈ 37 V
Therefore, the potential difference between point a and point b is equal to 37 V
