What is the correlation between pressure and elevation for an ideal gas?

Explanation:

Expression for vertical fluid pressure is as follows.

               \frac{dP}{dh} = \rho \times g ........... (1)

where,     p = pressure

            \rho = density

               g = acceleration due to gravity

               h = height

Since, g is negative then it means that an increase in height will lead to decrease in pressure.

Also, expression for density according to ideal gas law is as follows.

                 \rho = \frac{mP}{kT} .......... (2)

where,         m = average mass or air molecule

                    P = pressure at a given point

                    k = Boltzmann constant

                    T = temperature in kelvin

Substituting values from equation (2) into equation (1) as follows.

              \frac{dP}{dh} = \rho \times g

              \frac{dP}{dh} = \frac{mP}{kT} \times g

               \frac{dP}{P} =  \frac{mg}{kT}dh

Now, on applying integration on both the sides we get the following.

                    ln\frac{P_{h}}{P^{o}} = \frac{-mgh}{kT}

or,                          P_{h} = P_{o}e^{\frac{-mgh}{kT}}                    

where,           P_{h} = pressure at height h

                      P_{o} = pressure at reference point    

Thus, we can conclude that the correlation between pressure and elevation for an ideal gas is  P_{h} = P_{o}e^{\frac{-mgh}{kT}}.

You have dissolved 10 g sodium oxide in 200 ml water.calculate concentration of the solution
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

0.85 Molar Na2O

Explanation:

Determine the moles of sodium oxide, Na2O, in 10 grams by dividing by the molar mass of Na2O (61.98 g/mole).

 (10 g Na2O)/(61.98 g/mole) = 0.161 moles Na2O.

Molar is a measure of concentration.  It is defined as moles/liter.  A 1 M  solution contains 1 mole of solute per liter of solvent.  [200 ml water = 0.2 Liters water.]

In this case, we have 0.161 moles Na2O in 0.200 L of solvent.

 (0.161 moles Na2O)/(0.200 L) = 0.85 Molar Na2O

What transition energy corresponds to an absorption line at 527 nm?​
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

E = 3.77×10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of absorption line = 527 nm (527×10⁻⁹m)

Energy of absorption line = ?

Solution:

Formula:

E = hc/λ

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×  3×10⁸ m/s / 527×10⁻⁹m

E = 19.89×10⁻²⁶ Jm /527×10⁻⁹m

E = 0.0377×10⁻¹⁷ J

E = 3.77×10⁻¹⁹ J
