What pollutant forms when automobile emissions react with oxygen gas and ultraviolet rays?

Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.

An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.00×10^{-7} N/m^2 at 20ºC . How many atoms are there in a cubic cen
marta [7]

Answer:

24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

Explanation:

P = Pressure = 1\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

V = Volume = 1 cm³

n = Amount of substance

N = Number of atoms

N_A = Avogadro's constant = 6.022\times 10^{23}\ /mol

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/k mol

T = Temperature = 273.15+20 = 293.15 K

From the ideal gas law

PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{N}{N_A}

\frac{N}{N_A}=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=N_A\times \frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{1\times 10^{-7}\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{8.314\times 293.15}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow N=24708184.32141\ atoms=24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

The number of atoms is 24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

A balloon contains 2.3 mol of helium at 1.0 atm , initially at 240 ∘C. What's the initial volume? What's the volume after the ga
pashok25 [27]
A) initial volume
We can calculate the initial volume of the gas by using the ideal gas law:
p_i V_i = nRT_i
where
p_i=1.0 atm=1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa is the initial pressure of the gas
V_i is the initial volume of the gas
n=2.3 mol is the number of moles
R=8.31 J/K mol is the gas constant
T_i=240^{\circ}C=513 K is the initial temperature of the gas

By re-arranging this equation, we can find V_i:
V_i =  \frac{nRT_i}{p_i} = \frac{(2.3 mol)(8.31 J/mol K)(513 K)}{1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa}=0.097 m^3

2) Now the gas cools down to a temperature of
T_f = 14^{\circ}C=287 K
while the pressure is kept constant: p_f = p_i = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa, so we can use again the ideal gas law to find the new volume of the gas
V_f =  \frac{nRT_f}{p_f}= \frac{(2.3 mol)(8.31 J/molK)(287 K)}{1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa} = 0.054 m^3

3) In a process at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is equal to the product between the pressure and the difference of volume:
W=p \Delta V= p(V_f -V_i)
by using the data we found at point 1) and 2), we find
W=p(V_f -V_i)=(1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.054 m^3-0.097 m^3)=-4343 J
where the negative sign means the work is done by the surrounding on the gas.

What does it mean when it says a scientific question must be supportable
Shkiper50 [21]

A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable (can be tested by someone through an experiment or measurements), leads to a hypothesis that is falsifiable (means it should generate a hypothesis that can be shown to fail), etc.

Objects in space that are moving at a constant velocity in a straight line ___________.
nikdorinn [45]
The best answer is A) <span>keep moving at a constant velocity until some forces act on them

As the man you're probably tired of hearing about said:

"Every object persists in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless a new force acts upon it" 
This is Isaac Newton's 1st law of motion, or the law of inertia. 

Put more simply, objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and tend the maintain the same velocity (direction and speed) and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. </span>
