29. A gas has a volume of 1.75 L at -23°C and 150.0 kPa.

arsen [322]

The answer for the following mention bellow.

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 260 k

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure ( $P_{1}$ ) = 150.0 kPa

Final pressure ( $P_{2}$ ) = 210.0 kPa

Initial volume ( $V_{1}$ ) = 1.75 L

Final volume ( $V_{2}$ ) = 1.30 L

Initial temperature ( $T_{1}$ ) = -23°C = 250 k

To find:

Final temperature ( $T_{2}$ )

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

We know;

$\frac{P*V}{T}$ = constant

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

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

( $T_{1}$ ) represents the initial temperature of the gas

( $T_{2}$ ) represents the final temperature of the gas

So;

$\frac{150 * 1.75}{210 * 1.30}$ = $\frac{260}{T_{2} }$

( $T_{2}$ ) =260 k

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 260 k

MgNH4PO4•6H2O loses H2O in a stepwise fashion as it is heated. Between 40 degrees celsius and 60 degrees celsius, the monohydrat

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

$\%\ Composition\ of\ phosphorus=20.00\ \%$

Explanation:

The molecular formula of the monohydrate formed = $MgNH_4PO_4.H_2O$

The molecular mass of the monohydrate formed = $Mass_{Mg}+Mass_{N}+6\times Mass_{H}+5\times Mass_O$

So, Mass = 24 + 14 + 6 × 1 + 5 × 16 = 155 g

Mass of phosphorus = 31 g

Thus,

$\%\ Composition\ of\ phosphorus =\frac{Mass_{phosphorus}}{Total\ mass}\times 100$

$\%\ Composition\ of\ phosphorus=\frac{31}{155}\times 100$

$\%\ Composition\ of\ phosphorus=20.00\ \%$

What is the primary reason why elements form compounds?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

To gain stability

Explanation:

If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.

Radio-tracking technology assists in determining exactly where an animal is located at any instant in time and frequently what that animal is performing! Utilizing the data collected from tracking devices, scientists can conclude the day-to-day activities of an animal, the size of an animal's place range, what other animals share an animal's range and the types of habitats an animal practices.

Gamma-rays are the common energetic form of light and are generated by the most heated regions of the universe. Gamma rays are provided by such extreme events as supernova explosions or the elimination of atoms and by less exciting events, such as the breakdown of radioactive material in space.
