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.

In the reaction 2H2O (1)+ 2Cl^- (aq)= H2(g)+Cl2 (g)+ 2OH^-(aq), which substance is reduced?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:- C. H

Explanations:- Reduction is gain of electron. In other words we could say that decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

As per the rules, oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1(except metal hydrides) and the oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2.

The oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

In $H_2O$ , the oxidation number of H is +1 and oxidation number of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in $Cl^-$ is -1. On product side, the oxidation number of hydrogen in $H_2$ is zero and in $OH^-$ the oxidation number of H is +1 and that of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in $Cl_2$ is 0.

From above data, Oxidation number of O is -2 on both sides so it is not reduced.

Oxidation number of Cl is changing from -1 to 0 which is oxidation.

Oxidation number of H is changing from +1 to 0 which is reduction.

So, the right choice is C.H

Consider a 1260-kg automobile clocked by law-enforcement radar at a speed of 85.5 km/h. If the position of the car is known to w

-BARSIC- [3]

The expected speed is v = 85.5 km/h
v = 85.5 km/h = (85.5 km/h)*(0.2778 (m/s)/(km/h)) = 23.75 m/s

If there is an uncertainty of 2 meters in measuring the position, then within a 1-second time interval:
The lower measurement for the speed is v₁ = 21.75 m/s,
The upper measurement for the speed is v₂ = 25.75 m/s.
The range of variation is
Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 4 m/s

The uncertainty in measuring the speed is
Δv/v = 4/23.75 = 0.1684 = 16.84%

Answer: 16.8%

A sample of argon has a volume of 1.2 L at STP. If the temperature is increased to 21 c and the pressure is lowered to 0.80 atm,

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The new volume is 1.62 L

Explanation:

Boyle's law says:

"The volume occupied by a given gas mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure." It is expressed mathematically as:

Pressure * Volume = constant

o P * V = k

Charles's law is a law that says that when the amount of gas and pressure are kept constant, the ratio between volume and temperature will always have the same value:

$\frac{V}{T}=k$

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that when there is a constant volume, as the temperature increases, the gas pressure increases. And when the temperature is decreased, the gas pressure decreases. So this law indicates that the quotient between pressure and temperature is constant.

Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

$\frac{P}{T}=k$
