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.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: Fractional distillation is used to separate liquids with differing boiling points

Explanation:

Sublimation is used to separate volatile substance from a non volatile substance where volatile substance gets converted from solid to gas.

Fractional distillation is separation of a liquid mixture into fractions which differ in boiling points by means of distillation by use of a fractionating column.

Chromatography is a separation method where different rates of adsortion of different components is used to separate substances.

A large cylindrical tank contains 0.750 m3 of nitrogen gas at 27°C and 7.50 * 103 Pa (absolute pressure). The tank has a tight‐f
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: The answer is 68142.4 Pa

Explanation:

Given that the initial properties of the cylindrical tank are :

Volume V1= 0.750m3

Temperature T1= 27C

Pressure P1 =7.5*10^3 Pa= 7500Pa

Final properties of the tank after decrease in volume and increase in temperature :

Volume V2 =0.480m3

Temperature T2 = 157C

Pressure P2 =?

Applying the gas law equation (Charles and Boyle's laws combined)

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

(7500 * 0.750)/27 =( P2 * 0.480)/157

P2 =(7500 * 0.750* 157) / (0.480 *27)

P2 = 883125/12.96

P2 = 68142.4Pa

Therefore the pressure of the cylindrical tank after decrease in volume and increase in temperature is 68142.4Pa
