According to one theory, the pressure of a gas increases as its volume decreases, because the molecules in the gas have to move

a shorter distance to hit the walls of the container. Does this theory follow
A.) macroscopic or
B.) microscopic description of chemical behavior?

Answer:

The theory follow a microscopic description of chemical behavior.

Explanation:

The volume decrease is a macroscopic observation that can be explained by a microscopic event.

The molecules that make the gas are invisible to the human eye, however, the way they behave are the reason for different properties of the gas. It is easy to understand this if we think about the gas molecules as moving balls in a box. If we take the same amount of balls to a smaller box (decreasing the volume), the balls will hit the walls of the box easier (increasing the pressure).

What would the molecular formula be if lithium and sulfur reacted to form a neutral compound?
skad [1K]

Answer:

D, Li2S

Explanation:

This is because Lithium, which is in group IA of the periodic table, has a charge of +1. Sulfur will have a charge of -2 because it is in group 6A in the periodic table, which means to balance these out, there needs to be 2 lithium ions which would result in a charge of +2. With Lithium now having a charge of +2 due to having two atoms in the compound, and sulfur already having a charge of -2 as one atom, these two cancel out meaning the compound is neutral.

Please Help!!<br><br> How does alpha decay change the nucleus of radioactive atom.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

Given that a mass of a ball is (36.0 g), and the volume is (8.0 mL), what is the ball's density in g/mL?​
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

4.5g/mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball  = 36g

Volume of the ball  = 8mL

Unknown:

Density of the ball  = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

          Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

So;

 Density  = \frac{36}{8}    = 4.5g/mL
