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. Round your answer to the nearest percent.

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%

What type of reaction is : CaCo3+ HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 +H2O
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Double decomposition reaction

Explanation:

When hydrochloric acid reacts with any carbonates/hydrogen carbonates the products formed are metal chloride , water and carbon dioxide.Since HCl decomposes salts of weaker acids.

So the equation of the reaction between calcium carbonate and HCl is:

CaCO3+2HCl =CaCl2+H2O+CO2

This reaction is also known as double decomposition reaction.

Suppose you used 0.5 M NaOH to titrate your vinegar sample instead of 0.1 M. What effect does the concentration of base added ha
laiz [17]

Answer: the reliability will be worse

Explanation:

Suppose we used 0.5 M NaOH to titrate our vinegar sample instead of 0.1 M.

Now by using 0.5M instead of 0.1M we are increasing the concentration of NaOH,

We know that  the moles used = Volume x concnetration.

so for the same no of moles, if the concentration increases, the volume decreases.

Hence it will consume less NaOH.

now Since the volume decreases, the titration volume of less number will increase the % error.

Therefore the reliability will be worse.

How do the solvent and solute differ in a solution
hodyreva [135]
A solution is a homogeneous mixture, meaning it contains 2 or more substances. A solute is a substance that’s dissolved in the solvent. Think of it as dissolving salt (solute) in water (solvent) to make a salt solution. The amount of each substance in the solution impacts the concentration of it. So if I put more salt than water, it increases its concentration, while adding more water decreases its concentration.
