A fish is swimming at a constant rate towards the ocean floor. The equation

1 answer:

7 0

A ﬁsh is swimming at a constant rate toward the ocean ﬂoor. The equation y = −7x − 3 can be used to represent this situation, where y is the depth of the ﬁsh in meters below sea level and x is the number of seconds the ﬁsh has been swimming. Which statement best describes the depth of the ﬁsh, given this equation?
From a starting position of 7 meters below sea level, the ﬁsh is descending 3 meters per second.
B From a starting position of 7 meters below sea level, the ﬁsh is ascending 3 meters per second.
C From a starting position of 3 meters below sea level, the ﬁsh is descending 7 meters per second

Exactly one mole of an ideal gas is contained in a 2.00 liter container at 1,000 K. What is the pressure exerted by this gas?

Kipish [7]

pV = nRT

p = nRT/V

p= 1 x 0.08205 x 1000/ 2

p = 41.025 Pa

Edit: The unit should be atm instead of Pa, as pointed out by a nice human being.

At 20°C the vapor pressure of benzene (C6H6) is 75 torr, and that of toluene (C7H8) is 22 torr. Assume that benzene and toluene

valina [46]

Answer: The mole fraction of benzene will be 0.34 and mole fraction of toluene is 0.66

Explanation:

According to Raoult's law, the vapor pressure of a component at a given temperature is equal to the mole fraction of that component multiplied by the vapor pressure of that component in the pure state.
