A container of hydrogen at 172 kPa was decreased to 85.0 kPa producing a new volume of 3L. What was the original volume?

Chemistry

Aneli [31]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1.48 L</h2>

Explanation:

In order to find the original volume we use the same for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the original volume

V_1 =  \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1}  \\

From the question

P1 = 172 kPa = 172000 Pa

P2 = 85 kPa = 85000 Pa

V2 = 3 L

We have

V_1 =  \frac{85000 \times 3}{172000}  =  \frac{255000}{172000}  =  \frac{255}{172}  \\  = 1.482558139...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.48 L</h3>

Hope this helps you

If have a volume of 18 L of a gas at a temperature of 272 K and a pressure of 90 atm, what will be the pressure of the gas if ra
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

P₂ ≅ 100 atm (1 sig. fig. based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm)

Explanation:

Given:

P₁ = 90 atm                    P₂ = ?

V₁ = 18 Liters(L)              L₂ = 12 Liters(L)      

=> decrease volume => increase pressure

=> volume ratio that will increase 90 atm is (18L/12L)                                                                  

T₁ = 272 Kelvin(K)          T₂ = 274 Kelvin(K)

=>  increase temperature => increase pressure

=> temperature ratio that will increase 90 atm is (274K/272K)

n₁ = moles = constant    n₂ = n₁ = constant

P₂ = 90 atm x (18L/12L) x (274K/272K) = 135.9926471 atm (calculator)

By rule of sig. figs., the final answer should be rounded to an accuracy equal to the 'measured' data value having the least number of sig. figs. This means P₂ ≅ 100 atm based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm.

What do scientists use scientific notation for?
tamaranim1 [39]
Scientists use scientific notation to simplify numbers, basically. When dealing with really big numbers or really small numbers, the usage of scientific notation prevents them from having to write a bunch of zeroes.

If 500ml of H₂ gas at 600mmHg and 400ml of CO₂ gas at 700mmHg are mixed in a 1 lit vessel, find the total pressure of mixture of
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Total pressure increased

Explanation:

When gas C is added in the vessel then number of mole increases and number of collision depends on the number of molecules present in the vessel and on adding gas C ,mole also increases hence  number of collision increases therefore pressure also increases because number of collision increases.

Total pressure increases.

The smallest units of matter that normally CANNOT be broken down are atoms. molecules. cells. phospholipids.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: atoms

Explanation:

All matter is made up of smaller indivisible particles called atoms. These atoms are the smallest units of matter ACCORDING to the Dalton's Atomic theory.

Molecules are combined atoms, while cells and phospholipids are complex combination of atoms.

Therefore, atoms is the answer
