Answer: 150 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 30L

Original pressure of gas P1 = 105 kPa

New pressure of gas P2 = ?

New volume of gas V2 = 21L

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

105 kPa x 30L = P2 x 21L

3150 kPa L = P2 x 21L

P2 = 3150 kPa L / 21 L

P2 = 150 kPa

Thus, 150 kPa of pressure is required to compress the gas

Determine the resulting pH when 12mL if 0.16M HCl are reacted with 32 mL if 0.24M KOH.

TEA [102]

Answer:

pH = 13.1

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, we can set up the following equation:

$HCl+KOH\rightarrow KCl+H_2O$

Thus, since there is 1:1 mole ratio of HCl to KOH, we can find the reacting moles as follows:

$n_{HCl}=0.012L*0.16mol/L=0.00192mol\\\\n_{KOH}=0.032L*0.24mol/L=0.00768mol$

Thus, since there are less moles of HCl, we calculate the remaining moles of KOH as follows:

$n_{KOH}=0.00768mol-0.00192mol=0.00576mol$

And the resulting concentration of KOH and OH ions as this is a strong base:

$[KOH]=[OH^-]=\frac{0.00576mol}{0.012L+0.032L}=0.131M$

And the resulting pH is:

$pH=14+log(0.131)\\\\pH=13.1$

Regards!

On Earth an object weighs 50 N. On Planet X, the object weighs 500 N. What conclusion can be drawn from these observations? A. P

inysia [295]

The gravitation field strength of Planet X is 10 times that of Earth's, as the object weight has increased 10 times. This is only possible if the planet is more massive or more dense (smaller diameter).

Therefore, the answer is C.

Magnesium, on the left of Periodic Table, is more metallic than chlorine on the right of this Period. Why is this? - Because Mag

Marat540 [252]

Magnesium is more metallic than chlorine because elements with metallic character readily lose electrons. Magnesium has an ionic charge of +2, ie. it will lose 2 electrons if possible. Chlorine has an ionic charge of -1, means that it will gain 1 electron if possible.
