aev [14]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

The word atom is coined from ancient greek word atomos and it means uncuttable.

Democritus coined the word and he believed that an atom is the smallest indivisible particle of any matter.

He suggested that all matter is made up of atom and atoms cannot be broken down into smaller pieces.

This is not accurate today because we know that atoms contains very small particle of proton, neutrons and electrons.

Atoms are divisible and can be changed another by nuclear reaction.

When the volume of a gas is
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

THE NEW VOLUME OF THE GAS IS 406 mL WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES FROM 765 K TO 315 K.

Explanation:

When the temperature changes from  765 K to 315K, the volume has changed from 986 mL to?

V1 = 986 mL = 0.986 L

T1 = 765 K

T2 = 315 K

V2 = unknown

Using Charles' equation of gas laws;

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Making V2 the subject of the formula:

V2 = V1 T2 / T1

V2 = 0.986 * 315 / 765

V2 = 0.406 L

V2 = 406 mL

So therefore, the volume of a gas changes from 986 mL to 406 mL as a result of a change in temperature from 765 K to 315 K.
