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%

<h2>Complete the table to summarize the properties of the different subatomic particles. </h2>

Explanation:

Atom

It is a smallest particle which cant exist independently.

According To Dalton, atom was indivisible but later on, it was proved that atom can be subdivided into sub atomic particles called electron, proton & neutron.

These subatomic particles have marked properties .

Proton

  • It was discovered by E.Goldstein .
  • It is positively charged particle
  • It is present in nucleus .
  • Its mass is equal to 1.6726219 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms

Neutron

  • It was discovered by E.chadwick .
  • It is neutral
  • It is present inside the nucleus .
  • It's mass is equal to 1.674927471×10⁻²⁷ kg

Electron

  • It was discovered by J.J Thomson .
  • It has negative charge .
  • It's mass is equal to 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms
  • It is present outside the nucleus in shells .

A sample of Xe gas is observed to effuse through a pourous barrier in 4.83 minutes. Under the same conditions, the same number o
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

28.93 g/mol

Explanation:

This is an extension of Graham's Law of Effusion where \frac{R1}{R2} = \sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}

We're only talking about molar mass and time (t) here so we'll just concentrate on \sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}. Notice how the molar mass and time are on the same position, recall effusion is when gas escapes from a container through a small hole. The time it takes it to leave depends on the molar mass. If the gas is heavy, like Xe, it would take a longer time (4.83 minutes). If it was light it would leave in less time, that gives us somewhat an idea what our element could be, we know that it's atleast an element before Xenon.

Let's plug everything in and solve for M2. I chose M2 to be the unknown here because it's easier to have it basically as a whole number already.

\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } = \frac{2.29}{4.83}

The square root is easier to deal with if you take it out in the first step, so let's remove it by squaring each side by 2, the opposite of square root essentially.

(\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } )^2= (\frac{2.29}{4.83})^2

{\frac{M2}{131} } = (0.47)^2

{\frac{M2}{131} } = 0.22

M2= 0.22 x 131

M2= 28.93 g/mol

2<br> CuCl2 +4KI -&gt; 2 Cul + 4 KCI + 12
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an example of a limiting reactant question, and is very common as a general chemistry problem.

We first see the balanced equation, that is:

2CuCl2+4KI→2CuI+4KCl+I2

We first need to find the limiting reactant

We see that 0.56 g of copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) reacts with 0.64 g of potassium iodide (KI) . So, let's convert those amounts into moles.

Copper(II) chloride has a molar mass of

134.45 g/mol . So in 0.56 g of copper(II) chloride, then there exist

0.56g134.45g/mol≈4.17⋅10−3 mol

Potassium iodide has a molar mass of

166 g/mol . So, in 0.64 g of potassium iodide, there exist
