Why does pumping more air into a basketball increse the pressure inside the ball?

1 answer:

8 0

Think of it as a balloon when you pump air into it it grows bigger but, if you put too much air into it what happens it pops because the pressure was too much for the balloon to withhold. That's the same with a basketball when you pump air into it the pressure pushing on the material increases.

In the molecule NO2 which element is pulling the electrons

Andrei [34K]

The bond between the N and 0 (double bond) transfers and gives a -ve charge on O and a +ve charge on N atom at the group . Thus the +vely charged nitrogen is electron-deficient pulling electrons towards itself!

The combination of the +vely charged nitrogen and the electronegative oxygen atom leads to delocalization causing the resonance effect.

An analysis of a sugar compound is found to contain 132 grams of carbon (C), 22 grams of hydrogen (H), and 176 grams of oxygen (

ddd [48]

132 g of C , 22 g of H , 176 g of O

132 + 22 + 176 => 330 g of the substance

Now convert the masses in moles :

C = 12.0 u H = 1.0 u O = 16.0 u

C = 132 / 12.0 => 11 moles

H = 22 / 1.0 => 22 moles

O = 176 / 16.0 => 11 moles

Using the values obtained the lowest proportion in mols of elements present, simply divide the values found for the least of them:

C = 11 / 11 => 1

H = 22 / 11 => 2

O = 11 / 11 => 1

formula empirically is : CH₂O

hope this helps!

A laboratory assistant needs to prepare 35.2 liters of hydrogen at 25.0°C and 101.3 kilopascals. This is the equation for the re

lisabon 2012 [21]

Volume of hydrogen gas = 35.2L

Temperature of hydrogen gas = 25.0°C + 273 = 298 K

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 101.3 kPa = 1 atm

(Conversion factor 1 atm = 101.325 kPa)

Using the Ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

where P, V, n, R and T are pressure, volume, number of moles, universal gas constant and temperature respectively.

n = PV/RT

The number of moles of hydrogen gas,

n = 35.2 L x 1 atm/ 0.0821 L.atm.mol⁻¹1.K⁻¹ x 298 K

n = 1.438 moles

2HCl + Ca → H₂ + CaCl₂

Based on the given balanced equation, 1 mole of H₂ is produced from two moles of HCl.

Since H₂ is 1.438 moles, HCl will be (1.438 x 2) moles or 2.876 moles

Given, Molarity of HCl = 2.3 M

Molarity = moles of solute / liter of the solution

Thus the volume of HCl is,

2.3 M = 2.876 moles / liter of the solution

V = 2.876 moles / 2.3 M

V = 1.25 L

Thus the volume of 2.3 M hydrochloric acid required to produce the given amount gas is 1.25 L.
