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%

sattari [20]

Answer:

Step 1;

q = w = -0.52571 kJ, ΔS = 0.876 J/K

Step 2

q = 0, w = ΔU = -7.5 kJ, ΔH = -5.00574 kJ

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

P_i = 100 N·m

T_i = 327 K

P_f = 90 N·m

Step 1

For isothermal expansion, we have;

ΔU = ΔH = 0

w = n·R·T·ln(P_f/P_i) = 1 × 8.314 × 600.15 × ln(90/100) = -525.71

w ≈<em> -0.52571</em> kJ

At state 1, q = w = -0.52571 kJ

ΔS = -n·R·ln(P_f/P_i) = -1 × 8.314 × ln(90/100) ≈ 0.876

ΔS ≈ 0.876 J/K

Step 2

q = 0 for adiabatic process

ΔU = 25×(27 - 327) = -7,500

w = ΔU = <em>-7.5 kJ</em>

ΔH = ΔU + n·R·ΔT

ΔH = -7,500 + 8.3142 × 300 = -5,005.74

ΔH = ΔU = <em>-5.00574 kJ</em>

When Jorge looks at the Moon from Earth, he sees different phases of the Moon depending on the time of the month he observes the
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Because of the revolution of the moon about the earth.

Explanation:

The moon is the natural satellite of the earth; which rotates about its axes and orbits around the earth. As the moon orbits the earth with respect to time, it would complete a revolution in 27.3 days.

During revolution, different phases of the moon can be observed by someone on the earth. This is due to its location at different time during the process. Therefore, Jorge was able to see different phases of the moon because of its revolution about the earth.

Why is there such a large jump and ionization energy between the second and third ionization energy‘s for magnesium?
Romashka [77]
The second ionization energy of Mg is larger than the first because it always takes more energy to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than from a neutral atom. The third ionization energy of magnesium is enormous, however, because the Mg2+ ion has a filled-shell electron configuration.
