Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?

2 answers:

6 0

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).

Answer:

sorry the other one is a very bad answer i just took the test so this should. good luck

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide in the head space above the liquid is at higher pressure than atmospheric pressure outside the can.

The gas is at a lower volume initially but suddenly has a larger volume available when the can is opened.

The change in pressure as the gas rapidly moves to become dispersed through its new volume causes the “whoosh” sound.

The gas law that applies is Boyle’s law.

A solution contains an unknown amount of dissolved magnesium. Addition of

Scrat [10]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Mg²⁺(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → MgCO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
MgCO₃: 1 mole
Na⁺: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

Mg²⁺: 24.3 g/mole
Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
MgCO₃: 84.3 g/mole
Na⁺: 23 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole ×24.3 g/mole= 24.3 grams
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×106 g/mole= 106 grams
MgCO₃: 1 mole ×84.3 g/mole=84.3 grams
Na⁺: 2 moles ×23 g/mole= 46 grams

<h3>Mass of magnesium dissolved</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ react with 24.3 grams of magnesium, 0.0877 moles of Na₂CO₃ react with how much mass of magnesium?

$mass of magnesium=\frac{0.0877 moles of Na_{2}C O_{3}x24.3 grams of magnesium }{1 mole of Na_{2}C O_{3}}$

<u><em>mass of magnesium= 2.13 grams</em></u>

Finally, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

Select all statements that are correct:____

topjm [15]

Answer:

A, C and D are correct.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the vapor pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent as stated by the Raoult's law:

$P_{vap}^{solution}=x_{solvent}P_{solvent}$

Since the solute is not volatile, the mole fraction of the solute is not taken into account for vapor pressure of the solution, therefore A is correct whereas B is incorrect.

Moreover, since the higher the vapor pressure, the weaker the intermolecular forces due to the fact that less more molecules are like to change from liquid to vapor and therefore more energy is required for such change, we can evidence that both C and D are correct.

Best regards.
