C) The volume of the gas is proportional to the number of moles of gas particles.

The Avogadro's law applies to ideal gases with constant pressure and temperature. By that law, the volume of an ideal gas is proportional to the number of moles of particles in that gas.

B) The gas now occupies less volume, and the piston will move downward.

Boyle's Law applies to ideal gases with a constant temperature. The volume of an ideal gas is inversely related to its pressure. A high pressure drives gas particles together, such that they occupy less volume. The gas trapped inside the piston has a smaller volume. As a result, the the piston will move downward.

Alternatively, consider the forces acting on the piston. Both the atmosphere and gravity are dragging the piston down. In order for it to stay in place, the gas below it must exert a pressure to balance the two forces. Now the pressure from outside has increased. The gas inside needs to increase its pressure. It needs a smaller volume to create that extra pressure. As a result, its volume will decrease, and the piston will move downwards.

Answer: 1. B.) It is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas.

2. B.) The piston will move downwards because the gas particles will occupy less volume than before.

Explanation:

1. Avogadro's Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas at constant pressure and temperature.

$V\propto n$ (At constant temperature and pressure)

Thus as the number of moles will increase, the volume of the gas will also increase.

2. Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$ (At constant temperature and number of moles)

Thus when pressure is increased , the volume will decrease if the temperature is held constant.

What is the pOH in a solution that has pH = 11.39?

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

2.61

Explanation:

pH+pOH=14, so sub in 11.39 for pOH, then subtract it over to get pH=2.61

if you have any questions, leave them in the comments and i will try to answer them, if this helped, pls give brainliest.

The nuclear reaction that occurs by combining two or more lighter atoms into a larger one is called what?

Yuri [45]

The nuclear reaction that occurs by combining two or more lighter atoms into a larger one is called nuclear fusion. As a result of this reaction a huge amount of energy is released.
Nuclear fission is the opposite process of nuclear fusion when the atom splits into several smaller atoms.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

If the draw a line perpendicular with y-axis thru the diagonal line check but it meets only one curved point, therefore the curve indicates a function not otherwise. They draw a vertical line perpendicular to the y-axis there, it just intersects one more chart point, which is why a graph is a feature:

In point a:

$\to Domain= [-\pi ,\pi ]\\\\\to Range = [-1,1]$

In point b:

Its y-axis length cut also by understanding the benefits of y-interception and the x-axis length gives the x-intercept.

$\to y-intercept = 1\\\\\to x-intercept = \frac{\pi}{2} ,- \frac{\pi}{2} \\\\$

In point C:

Every graph is y-axis symmetric because the left side of the column as well as the middle side of the graph is about the same.

If oxygen with an electronegativity of 3.5 were to make a chemical bond with lithium, electronegativity of 1.0, what kind of bon

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Ionic.

Explanation:

Elements with higher electronegativity values are better at attracting electrons in a chemical bond.

A chemical bond is considered "ionic" if the electronegativity difference between the two bonding atoms is greater than $1.8$ .
Otherwise, this chemical bond is considered "covalent".

In this example, the difference between the electronegativity of oxygen and lithium is $3.5 - 1.0 = 2.5$ . Since $2.5 > 1.8$ , the bond between the two elements would likely be ionic.

It is possible to reach the same conclusion based on the fact that lithium is a metal while oxygen is a nonmetal. When metal elements react with non-metal elements, the product is typically an ionic compound- with ionic bonds between the atoms.
