Catenation is the property by which it can make bonds with other carbon atoms to form long chains. Hence, carbon, with the least diffuse valence shell p orbital is capable of forming longer p-p sigma bonded chains of atoms than heavier elements which bond via higher valence shell orbitals.

The pressure on a 200 milliliter sample of CO2 (g) at constant temperature is increased from

balu736 [363]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure ( $P_{1}$ ) = 600 mm of Hg

Final pressure ( $P_{2}$ ) = 1200 mm of Hg

Initial volume ( $V_{1}$ ) = 200 ml

To find:

Final volume ( $V_{2}$ )

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation,

P × V = n × R × T

Where;

P represents the pressure of the gas

V represents the volume of the gas

n represents the no of moles of the gas

R represents the universal gas constant

T represents the temperature of the gas

So,

From the above mentioned equation,

P × V = constant

$\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }$ = $\frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} }$

Where,

( $P_{1}$ ) represents the initial pressure of the gas

( $P_{2}$ ) represents the final pressure of the gas

( $V_{1}$ ) represents the initial volume of the gas

( $V_{2}$ ) represents the final volume of the gas

So;

$\frac{600}{1200}$ = $\frac{V_{2} }{200}$

$V_{2}$ = 100 ml

Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.

A cylinder of compressed gas has a volume of 350 ml and a pressure of 931 torr. What volume in Liters would the gas occupy if al

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

$0.384\ \text{L}$

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Initial pressure = 931 torr = $931\times \dfrac{101.325}{760}=124.12\ \text{kPa}$

$P_2$ = Final pressure = 113 kPa

$V_1$ = Initial volume = 350 mL

$V_2$ = Final volume

From the Boyle's law we have

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{124.12\times 350}{113}\\\Rightarrow V_2=384.44\ \text{mL}=0.384\ \text{L}$

The volume the gas would occupy is $0.384\ \text{L}$ .

What happens to a line when the y-intercept is changed? Check all that apply.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

As the y-intercept increases, the graph of the line shifts up;

As the y-intercept decreases, the graph of the line shifts down

Explanation:

There are two ways to think about this problem. The first way would be the graphical approach:

if we only change the y-intercept, this means we keep the same slope;
y-axis is the vertical axis;
if we change the point at which the line crosses the y-axis, we either shift it upward for a higher y-intercept or downward for a lower y-intercept.

Now, thinking algebraically, a line has the following equation in a general form:

$y = mx + b$

The y-intercept is essentially obtained when x = 0, then:

y = b:

if we increase b value, the y value increases, so the graph shifts upward;
if we decrease b value, the y value decreases, so the graph shifts downward.
