For many purposes we can treat methane as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of . Suppose the temperature of a

sample of methane gas is lowered from to , and at the same time the pressure is decreased by . Does the volume of the sample increase, decrease, or stay the same? increase decrease stays the same If you said the volume increases or decreases, calculate the percentage change in the volume.

Answer:

The volume decreases 5.5%

Explanation:

First, the question is incomplete, you are not giving the values of the temperatures and the pressure. However, I managed to find one similar question, and the given data is the temperature is lowered from 21 °C to -8°C, and the pressure decreased by 5%. If your data is different, you should only replace your data in the procedure, and you'll get an accurate result.

Now, with this data, let's see what we can do.

If this is an ideal gas, the equation to use is:

PV = nRT

Now, we know that this gas is suffering a decrease in temperature and pressure, but the moles stay the same so:

n₁ = n₂ = n

The constant R, is the same for both conditions. The only thing that differs here is the volume, temperature, and pressure. Therefore:

P₁V₁ = nRT₁   -----> n = P₁V₁ / RT₁

Doing the same with the pressure and volume 2 we have:

n = P₂V₂ / RT₂

Equalling both expressions and solving for V₂:

P₁V₁ / RT₁ = P₂V₂ / RT₂

V₂ = P₁T₂V₁ / P₂T₁

Now, as we know that P2 is 5% decreased from P1, so P2 = 0.95P1:

V₂ = P₁T₂V₁ / 0.95P₁T₁

The values of temperature in K:

T1 = 21+273 = 294 K

T2 = -8 + 273 = 265 K

Finally, let's calculate the volume:

V₂ = 264*P₁*V₁ / 294*0.95*P₁   ----> P cancels out  

V₂ = 264V₁ / 294*0.95

V₁ = 0.945V₂

With this, we can day that Volume 2 decreases.

Now the percentage change would be using the following expression:

%V = (V₁ - V₂ / V₁) * 100

Replacing the data we have:

%V = V1 - 0.945V₁ / V₁

%V = 0.055V₁ / V₁ * 100

%V = 5.5%

A gas balloon has a volume of 106.0 liters when the temperature is 25.0 °C and the pressure is 740.0 mm Hg. What will its volume
ipn [44]

Answer : The final volume of gas will be, 103.3 L

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 740.0 mmHg  = 98.4 kPa

Conversion used : (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa)

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 99.3 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 106.0 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 25.0^oC=273+25.0=298K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 20.0^oC=273+20.0=293K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{98.4kPa\times 106.0L}{298K}=\frac{99.3kPa\times V_2}{293K}

V_2=103.3L

Therefore, the final volume of gas will be, 103.3 L

1. In the first step of the mechanism for this process, a phenoxide anion is generated. This phenoxide anion goes on to act as a
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

In this case, in order to get an <u>elimination reaction</u> we need to have a <u>strong base</u>. In this case, the base is the phenoxide ion produced the phenol (see figure 1).  

Due to the resonance, we will have a more stable anion therefore we will have a less strong base because the negative charge is moving around the molecule (see figure 2).

Finally, the phenoxide will attack the <u>primary carbon</u> attached to the Cl. The C-Cl bond would be broken and the C-O would be produced <u>at the same time</u> to get a substitution (see figure 1).
