<span>he easiest way to see parallax is to hold out your finger vertically in front of a background object, a door or wall for example. Shut your right eye and note where on the background object the image of your finger appears. Now open your right eye and close the left one without moving your finger. The image of your finger should appear to have jumped to a different spot on the background wall. It is possible to tell how far away your finger is from your eyes just by measuring the distance between your eyes and the distance that the image appeared to move in degrees of arc. </span>

When a supply of hydrogen gas is held in a 4 liter container at 47°C it exerts a pressure
lana [24]

Answer:

P₂ = 800 torr

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial Volume = 4 L

Initial Temperature = 47°C (47+273= 320 K)

Initial pressure = 800 torr

Final volume = 2000 mL (2000/1000 = 2 L)

Final temperature = -113°C (-113+273 =160 K )

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

P₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ V₂  

P₂ = 800 torr × 4 L × 160 K / 320 K × 2 L  

P₂ = 512000 torr .L. K / 640 k.L

P₂ = 800 torr

Calculate the total pressure in a 10.0 liter flask at 27°C of a sample of gas that contains 6.0 grams of hydrogen, 15.2 grams of
motikmotik

Answer:

The total pressure is 27.8 atm

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P (total pressure) = nRT/V

n (total moles of gases) = (6/1 moles of hydrogen) + (15.2/14 moles of nitrogen) + (16.8/4 moles of helium) = 6+1.1+4.2 = 11.3 moles

R = 0.082057L.atm/gmol.K, T = 27°C = 27+273K = 300K, V = 10L

P = 11.3×0.082057×300/10 = 27.8 atm

I need a catchphrase for the element Boron as a superhero describing its traits!
skad [1K]
Boron is a metalloid, intermediate between metals and non-metals. It exists in many polymorphs (different crystal lattice structures), some more metallic than others. Metallic boron is extremely hard and has a very high melting point.
