Answer:

The catalyst speeds up the chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The process in which chemical reaction rate increases by addition of substance is termed as a catalyst. The chemical reaction happens faster when a catalyst is present because it gives an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy.

The catalyst usually forms a temporary intermediate that helps in regenerating the original catalyst in the cyclic process. Yeast when added in a mixture work as a catalyst and helps with chemical reaction.

An ideal gas in a cylindrical container of radius r and height h is kept at constant pressure p. The bottom of the container is

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$m =\frac{p*(pi)*r^{2}*h*mw}{R*\frac{T_{1} + T_{O}}{2}}$

Explanation:

The gas ideal law is

PV= nRT (equation 1)

Where:

P = pressure

R = gas constant

T = temperature

n= moles of substance

V = volume

Working with equation 1 we can get

$n =\frac{PV}{RT}$

The number of moles is mass (m) / molecular weight (mw). Replacing this value in the equation we get.

$\frac{m}{mw} =\frac{PV}{RT}$ or

$m =\frac{P*V*mw}{R*T}$ (equation 2)

The cylindrical container has a constant pressure p

The volume is the volume of a cylinder this is

$V =(pi)*r^{2}*h$

Where:

r = radius

h = height

(pi) = number pi (3.1415)

This cylinder has a radius, r and height, h so the volume is $V =(pi)*r^{2}*h$

Since the temperatures has linear distribution, we can say that the temperature in the cylinder is the average between the temperature in the top and in the bottom of the cylinder. This is:

$T =\frac{T_{1} + T_{O}}{2}$

Replacing these values in the equation 2 we get:

$m =\frac{P*V*mw}{R*T}$ (equation 2)

$m =\frac{p*(pi)*r^{2}*h*mw}{R*\frac{T_{1} + T_{O}}{2}}$

You are at home in your air conditioned garage. You are planning a family road trip from New York to Florida. You are lnfating t

Ksenya-84 [330]

Hello!

According to the Charles' Law, the volume of a gas is proportional to temperature when pressure is constant. When going from New York to Florida, if the pressure is left constant the volume of the tires will increase.

The final volume of the tires can be calculated from the following equation, derived from Charles' Law:

$V2= \frac{V1}{T1}*T2=\frac{10 L}{10degC}*32degC=32 L$

Have a nice day!
