So technically, ΔV ..... and ΔBANANAS....ΔBubbles....ΔChocolate.... ΔANYthing, will always be Final-Initial.

.....If I am decreasing its INITIAL Vol (10.0 L) to its FINAL Vol (2.0 L)

ΔV∴ would be (2.0 L - 10.0 L) → ΔV= -8.0 L

in Addition, the SYSTEM is EXERTING a Constant Pressure... this means it is LOOSING 6.0 atm of Constant Pressure....

∴ P: -6.0 atm

**all together now**

→Work= Pressure * ΔVolume ⇒ (-6.0 atm)(-8.0 L) ⇒ 48 L*atm Work done ON the System where (+) above symbolizes this.

Finally: 1 L* atm = 101.325 Joule. (Double check that they are not asking for the answer in kJ... which would then need to be converted further.) Otherwise,
(48 L*atm)(101.325 J) = 4863.6 J
***ALWAYS CHECK YOUR GIVEN SIG FIGS!!*** (round to 2 in this case)
∴ the Final Answer should read: 4.9 *10³ J work
(thats a 3 superscript btw :-)

.....yes, it may seem nit-picky to negate these things, if the answer is the same... but trust me, as you progress through, you will definitely not want to forget what signs means what, and when they need to be changed from the information written to depict what is happening in/on/within/from the SYSTEM (<-- whose view we will always take.... because its got all the Bananas) :-P

Work done = P * ΔV = 6 * (10-2) = 48 atm l

6 At STP, which element is a good conductor of electricity?(1) chlorine (3) silver

alexgriva [62]

For an object to conduct electricity it should have free or delocalised electrons that are free to pass the charge and hence take part in conducting electricity.
From the given choices
Chlorine is a halogen existing as a diatomic gas. Iodine too is a halogen and 2 Iodine atoms held together by covalent bond. Cl - Cl bonds and I-I bonds are covalent bonds. the outer electrons of Cl and I take part in covalent bonds therefore they are fixed and not free to move about. therefore no free electrons to conduct electricity.
Sulfur is a solid that too is held together by covalent bonds so it does not have free electrons to conduct electricity.

Silver is a metal and a general property of metals are their ability to conduct electricity.
metal structure are metal ions tightly packed together. when the metal atoms are tightly packed their valence electrons are removed and delocalised. Positively charged metal ions are embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.
therefore there are delocalised electrons that can conduct electricity

answer is 3) silver

How many grams of solute are needed to make 37.5 mL of 0.750 M KI solution? Round to three significant digits.

Marysya12 [62]

4.648 gm of solute is needed to make 37.5 mL of 0.750 M KI solution.

Solution:

We will start with the Molarity

$\text { Molarity }=\text { Mole of solute } \div \text { liter of solution }$

Also we know 1000 ml = 1 L

Therefore 37.5 ml by 1000ml we obtained 0.0375L

Equation for solving mole of solute

$\text { Mole of solute }=\text { Molarity } \times \text { Liters of solution }$

Now, multiply 0.750M by 0.0375

Substitute the known values in the above equation we get

$0.750 \times 0.0375=0.0281$

Also we know that Molar mass of KI is 166 g/mol

So divide the molar mass value to get the no of grams.

$0.028 \times 166=4.648$

So 4.648 gm of Solute is required for make 37.5 mL of 0.750 M KI solution.

In a hypothetical atom, electron N transitions between energy levels, giving off orange light in the transition. In the same ato

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer : Electron P has greater energy difference than the Electron N.

Explanation :

Wavelength range of violet light = 400 - 500 nm

Wavelength range of orange light = 600 - 700 nm

The Planck's equation is,

$E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of light

c = speed of light

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light

According to the Planck's equation, wavelength and energy follow inverse relation. As the wavelength increases, energy decreases.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of violet light is less. We conclude that When electron P gives violet light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was high.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of orange light is more. We conclude that When electron N gives orange light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was low.

So, Electron P which gives violet light on transition has greater energy difference than the Electron N.
