D. Decreasing its temperature

Explanation:

Decreasing the temperature of the carbon dioxide gas to be dissolved in the carbonated drink will most likely increase the solubility of the gas in the drink.

Temperature has considerable effects on the solubility of gases in liquids.

Dissolution involves the surrounding of ions by water molecules, in this case, the carbon dioxide gas is to be surrounded by the liquid beverage medium.
Increasing pressure increases the rate at which gases are soluble. At high pressure, the gases are brought more in contact with the liquid medium.
Decreasing temperature aids gas solubility.
If the temperature of gases are increased, they will not want to stay in solution as they gain a high amount of kinetic energy.
Therefore, it will increase their randomness and the urge to leave the solution.
Decrease in temperature and increase in pressure makes gas solubility to be fast.

Which is not an assumption about particles in a gas according to the kinetic theory?

bearhunter [10]

Let us evaluate the given assumptions according to the kinetic theory for an ideal gas.

a.
The motion of one particle is unaffected by other particles unless the particles collide.
TRUE. The particles are in random motion unless they collide.

b.
The forces of attraction among particles keep the particles close together.
FALSE. No forces act between particles except during collision.

c.
Under ordinary conditions, forces of attraction between particles can be ignored.
TRUE.

Answer: Statement b is false because it is not an assumption.

A ball is thrown off the top of a building and lands on the ground below.

natita [175]

Answer:

Mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:

$K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

where $m$ is the mass of the object, and $v$ is its velocity at a given point in time.

So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:

mass of the ball
velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball before touching the gound can be determined.

Water enters a cylindrical tank through two pipes at rates of 250 and 100 gal/min. If the level of the water in the tank remains

tester [92]

Answer:

The total amount of water that enters the tank is:

250 gal/min + 100 gal/min = 350gal/min.

Then, if the level of the water remains constant, this means that the water leaves the tank at a rate of 350gal/min.

We know that the diameter of the pipe is 8 inches, then the area of the pipe is:

A = pi*(d/2)^2 = 3.14*(4in)^2 = 50.24in^2

now, the flow can be calculated as:

Q = v*A = (velocity*area)

if we want to write our velocity in inches per minute, then we need to write the entering flow in cubic inches:

1 gallon = 231 in^3

then:

350gal/min = (350*231) in^3/min = 80,850 in^3/min.

Then the water that leaves the tank must be the same amoun, we have:

Q = 80,850 in^3/min. = v*A = v*50.24in^2

v = (80,850in^3/min)/50.24in^2 = 1609.3 in/min.

The velocity of the flow leaving the tank is 1609.3 in/min.
