A gas of unknown pressure is contained in a vertical cylinder with a piston, of mass 1.1 kg and diameter 10.0 cm. The piston is

free to move with negligible friction. A weight of mass 2.0 kg is placed on top of the piston. Knowing the atmospheric pressure (1.0 atm), find the pressure of the gas, in pascals.

Answer:

The answer the question, what is the pressure of the gas, in pascals is 101195.73 Pa

Explanation:

Firstly we list out the known variables

The known variables are

mass of piston = 1.1 kg, diameter of piston, D = 10.0 cm = 0.1 m

mass of weight = 2.0 kg atmospheric pressure = 1.0 atm

In this question the quantity required is the presssure of the gas in the cylinder after placing a weght on the piston

To solve this, we note that Pressure = Force per unit area

= Force/area, hence

We compute the area of the piston thus

Area = (πD²)÷4 = 0.0079 m²

While the sum of the mass of the piston and the added weight = 1.1 kg + 2.0 kg = 3.1 kg

The weight of the added mass and piston that is their force on the gas = W = Mass × gravity = 3.1 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 30.411 N

Therefore the pressure  = 30.411N/(0.0079 m²) = 3870.73 Pascals

The pressure of the gas = pressure due to the piston and the added weight + pressure due to the atmosphere

thus pressure of the gas = 3870.73 Pa + 1.0 atm =3870.73 Pa + 101325 Pa =101195.73 Pa

The pressure of the gas, in pascals is 101195.73 Pa

Periodic Table: Why are group 1A elements called alkali metals?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The elements in Group I of the periodic table are called alkali metals. They are called alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali solutions. These metals are very reactive; hence they have to be stored under oil to protect them from corrosion by air and waterwaterwater

Sediment layers stop lateral spreading when:
GREYUIT [131]
Sediment layers stop lateral spreading when they encounter a barrier and they run out of additional sedimentary material. Lateral spreading is the lateral movement of gently to steeply sloping, saturated soil deposits caused by earthquake-induced liquefaction. Hope this answers the question.

What is the volume of 8.80 g of CH4 gas at STP?
Ann [662]

Answer:

12.32 L.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g

Volume of CH4 =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 8.80 g of CH4. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g

Molar mass of CH4 = 12 + (1×4) = 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol

Mole of CH4 =?

Mole = mass/Molar mass

Mole of CH4 = 8.80 / 16

Mole of CH4 = 0.55 mole.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the gas at stp as illustrated below:

1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at stp.

Therefore, 0.55 mole of CH4 will occupy = 0.55 × 22.4 = 12.32 L.

Thus, 8.80 g of CH4 occupies 12.32 L at STP.
