Two gas-filled tanks have the same volume, temperature, and pressure. They are identical in every way except that one is filled

with oxygen (O2) gas and the other is filled with nitrogen (N2) gas. Which container weighs more?

Answer:

The tank with O₂ weighs more.

Explanation:

We can find the mass of gas using the ideal gas equation.

P.V=n.R.T=\frac{m}{M} .R.T\\m=\frac{P.V.M}{R.T}

Considering the pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T) and ideal gas constant (R) are the same, we can establish that:

m ∝ M

The mass is directly proportional to the molar mass. The molar mass of O₂ (32 g/mol) is higher than the molar mass of N₂ (28 g/mol). Therefore, the tank with O₂ weighs more.

A hiker seals a plastic bag that contains dried fruit before the climbs a mountain. What will most likely happen to the plastic
romanna [79]

From the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant, P is pressure, V is volume,  and T is temperature of the gas.

The pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at constant temperature and number of moles.

Hence, on decreasing the pressure, the volume will increase.

As the hiker reaches a height of a mountain, the pressure would decrease which results in the reestablishment of equilibrium between gas molecules thus resulting in pushing of bag outwards.

Hence, the bag will expand as the hiker reaches the top of the mountain.

What is the atomic number of xenon, the fifith element in group 18?
Agata [3.3K]
The atomic number is also the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of a specific element, in this case Xenon. Xenon is represented on the periodic table as Xe. Find that and look at the number in the top center of the square for Xenon. In this case, the atomic number is 54.

How many sigma and pi bonds does it contain ch3chchco2h?
ira [324]
Answer:
            But-2-enoic acid has 11 Sigma Bonds and 2 Pi Bonds.

Explanation:
                   The sigma bonds which are formed due to head to head overlap of partally filled orbitals are shown in red color, while Pi bonds which are formed after the formation of sigma bond by overlap of orbitals perpendicular to the sigma bond are shown in blue color.
