Given a fixed amount of gas held at constant pressure, calculate the volume it would occupy if a 2.00 L sample were cooled from
aliina [53]

Answer:

1.82 L

Explanation:

We are given the following information;

  • Initial volume as 2.0 L
  • Initial temperature as 60.0°C
  • New volume as 30.0 °C

We are required to determine the new volume;

From Charles's law;

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

Where, V_1 and V_2 are initial and new volume respectively, while T_1 and T_2 are initial and new temperatures respectively;

T_1= 333 K

T_2=303K

V_1 =2.0L

Rearranging the formula;

V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}

    = \frac{(2.0L)(303K)}{333K} \\=1.820 L

Therefore, the new volume that would be occupied by the gas is 1.82 L

Which of the following properly describes the movement of atoms as they represent the states of matter? Atoms making liquids hav
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Atoms making liquids have less attraction than solids, but more than gases

Explanation:

The attraction between atoms in different molecules in a solid is very strong due to strong intermolecular forces present in a solid. However, such intermolecular forces are weaker in liquids than in solids.

This implies that the solid has higher intermolecular forces of attraction compared to gases and liquids. Based on the negligible degree of intermolecular forces between them, a gas has the weakest intermolecular forces hence the atom has very minimal interaction between them.

What is the source of Earth's magnetic field according to what you have read in chapter 222
horsena [70]

Answer:

Scientists know that today the Earth's magnetic field is powered by the solidification of the planet's liquid iron core. The cooling and crystallization of the core stirs up the surrounding liquid iron, creating powerful electric currents that generate a magnetic field stretching far out into space.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

E) NaF and SrO

Explanation:

The ionic bonding occurs between atoms with a great difference in electronegativity. This usually happens between a metal and a non-metal.

<em>In which pair do both compounds exhibit predominantly ionic bonding? </em>

A) KCl and CO₂. NO. C and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

B) SO₂ and BaF₂. NO. S and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

C) F₂ and N₂O. NO. Both compounds contain non-metals and present covalent bonding.

D) N₂O₃ and Rb₂O. NO. N and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

E) NaF and SrO. YES. Na and Sr are metals while F and O are non-metals.
