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%

How much energy is required to heat a frozen can of juice (360 grams- mostly water) from 0 degrees Celsius ( the temperature of
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

1,100,160J or 262.94 kcal

Explanation:

The juice is frozen at 0 degrees Celsius and I assume that it will become gas at 100 degrees Celsius. So we change the form of the water from solid to liquid, then to gas. That means we have to find out how much heat needed to change water form too, not only the heat needed to increase its temperature.

The latent heat of water is 4.2J/g °C while the heat of fusion is 334 J/g and the heat of vaporization is 2260 J/g. The energy needed will be:

360g * 4.2J/g °C * (110-0°C ) + 360g * 334 J/g + 360g * 2260 /g = 1,100,160J or 262.94 kcal.

What would cause the pressure of a gas to increase?​
IrinaK [193]

Answer: The pressure of a gas will increase when there is a decrease in the volume of the gas.

Explanation: according to Boyle's law, the volume of a gas will decrease when the pressure is increased at constant temperature and vice versa.
