At 1.70 atm, a gas sample occupies 4.25 liters. If the pressure in the gas increases to 2.40 atm, what will the new volume be?
Answer:
3.01L
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial pressure, P1 = 1.7atm
Initial volume, V1 = 4.25L
Final pressure, P2 = 2.4atm
Unknown:
Final or new volume, V2 = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".
P1 V1 = P2 V2
P1 is the initial pressure
V1 is the initial volume
P2 final pressure
V2 final volume
1.7 x 4.25 = 2.4 x V2
V2 = 3.01L
Weight = m times g = 5.23 times 8.83 = 46.18 N

Answer:
93 km/h
Explanation:
Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h
Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F
From the formula of speed,
Speed = distance/time
Substitute speed and time
72 = F/5
F = 72 × 5 = 360 km
The remaining distance will be:
639 - 360 = 279km
The remaining time will be:
8 - 5 = 3 hours
Speed = 279/3
Speed = 93 km/h
Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h
