For many purposes we can treat ammonia NH3 as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of −33.°C. Suppose the temper

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The new pressure will be 0.225 kPa.

Explanation:

Applying combined gas law:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }V_1$ are initial pressure and volume at initial temperature $T_1$ .

$P_2\text{ and }V_2$ are final pressure and volume at initial temperature $T_2$ .

We are given:

$P_1=0.29 kPa\\V_1=V\\P_2=?\\V_2=V+50\% of V=1.5 V$

$T_1=-25^oC=248.15 K$

$T _2 = 16^oC=289.15 K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{0.29 kPa\times V}{248.15 K}=\frac{P_2\times 1.5V}{289.15 K}$

$P_1=0.225 kPa$

Hence, the new pressure will be 0.225 kPa.

A sample of gas contains 3.0L of nitrogen at 320kPa. What volume would be necessary to decrease the pressure at 110kPa

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

$V_{2} = 8.92 L$

Explanation:

We have the equation for ideal gas expressed as:

PV=nRT

Being:

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = molar number

R = Universal gas constant

T = Temperature

From the statement of the problem I infer that we are looking to change the volume and the pressure, maintaining the temperature, so I can calculate the right side of the equation with the data of the initial condition of the gas:

$P_{1} V_{1} =nRT$

$320Kpa*0.003m^{3} =nRT$

$1000L = 1m^{3}$

$nRT= 0.96$

Now, as for the final condition:

$P_{2}V_{2}=nRT$

$P_{2} V_{2} =0.96$

clearing $V_{2}$

$V_{2} =\frac{0.96}{P_{2} }$

$V_{2} =0.00872m_{3}$

$V_{2} = 8.92 L$

How does floating ice affect you in the world you live in?<br> PLZ EXPLAIN

Sholpan [36]

Water is one of the few substances which expand in volume when frozen, compared to liquid. Usually substances condense when cooled, but at the point of freezing, when liquid water becomes solid ice, the molecules lock into a matrix in which there is more space between molecules - ice expands! This is why ice floats on liquid water.

It is this miracle which has shaped the planet and allowed life to thrive. Expansion of ice is responsible for much land-shaping erosion on land, the heaving off of boulders from mountain tops. And the floating of ice on lakes, rivers and oceans - if the frozen water was indeed more dense than liquid water, it would sink and pile up in the cold depths. There would be no life thriving under the ice, overwintering. It would all eventually freeze solid, and all the life forms with it.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

HF has the higher boiling point because HF molecules are more polar. Part B: CHBr3 molecules possess stronger intermolecular interaction due to higher molar mass than CHCl3

Explanation:

Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine. This implies that HF is more polar and possess stronger hydrogen bonds than HCl molecules.

In part B, the magnitude of dispersion forces depend on molar mass, the greater the molar mass, the greater the magnitude of dispersion forces between molecules, hence CHBr3 has a greater boiling point than CHCl3
