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%

Which of the following [H+] values describes the most basic (alkaline) solution?
Aleks04 [339]
The H+ concentration that would best describe a basic solution would be the one having values less than 10^-7. The pH of a solution is related to H+ concentration by pH = -log[H+]. Therefore, as the concentration of H+ decreases the alkalinity would rise.

A) 30.22 g NaCl x 1 mol NaC l =      58.4430 Molar mass (g) NaCl=0.5171 mol NaCl
jekas [21]
The third question requires you to solve for the weight of sodium (Na) and weight of Chloride (Cl) from the calculated moles of each element Na, and Cl.

So, you need to multiply the calculated moles of Na with its molar mass (23 g/ mol) to get the answer for Na. And multiply the calculated moles of Cl with its molar mass (35.45 g/mol) to get the answer for Cl.

According to the balanced equation shown below, 1.00 mole of oxalic acid, h2c2o4, reacts with _________ moles of permanganate io
zheka24 [161]
The balanced equation that shows the reaction between oxalic acid and permanganate ion in an acidic medium is: 2MnO4- + 5H2C2O4 + 6H+ -> 2Mn(2+) + 10CO2 + 8H2O. Thus, 1 mole of oxalic acid reacts with 0.4 mole of permanganate ion. This was obtained using stoichiometry:

1 mol H2C2O4 x (2 mol MnO4-/ 5 mol H2C2O4) = 0.4 mol MnO4- 

In this redox reaction, the permanganate is reduced to manganese(II) ion.
