An ideal gas contained in a piston which is compressed. The gas is insulated so that no heat flows into or out of it. 1) What ha
Goryan [66]

Answer:Temperature increases

Explanation: As the gas in the container is an ideal gas so it should follow the ideal gas equation, the equation of state.

We know ideal gas equation to be PV=nRT where

   P=pressure

   V=Volume

   T=Temperature

   R=Real gas constant

   n=Number of moles

since the gas is insulated such that no heat goes into or out of the system .

When we compress the ideal gas using a piston, Thermodynamically it means that work is done on the system by the surroundings.

Now as the ideal gas is been compressed so the volume of the gas would decrease and slowly a time will reach when no more gas can be compressed that is there cannot be any further decrease in volume of the gas.

From the equation PV=nRT

Once there is no further compression is possible hence volume becomes constant so pressure of the ideal gas becomes directly proportional to the temperature as n and R are constants. Also as the pressure and volume are inversely related so an decrease in volume would lead to an increase in pressure.

As the ideal  gas is compressed so the pressure of the gas would increase since the gas molecules have smaller volume available after compression hence the gas molecules would quite frequently have collisions with other gas molecules or piston and this collision would lead to increase in speed of the gas molecules and  so the pressure would increase .

The increase in pressure would lead to an increase in temperature as show by the above ideal gas equation because the pressure and temperature are directly related.

So here we can say that work done on the system by surroundings leads to increase in temperature of the system.

A scientist is trying to determine whether a certain substance is radioactive. Which question would be most helpful to ask?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Well a question to ask would be if the mass of the material has changed significantly as that would determine that the substance is radioactive or if there have been any high readings found by a Geiger meter in certain period of time

hope that helps

The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44 grams/moles. How many grams of NaCl are found in a beaket with 100 ml of a 0.0050 M soluti
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The mass of NaCl is 0.029 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molecular weight of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Volume of solution = 100 mL = 0.100 L

Molarity = 0.0050 M

Step 2: Calculate moles NaCl

Moles NaCl = molarity * volume

Moles NaCl = 0.0050 M * 0.100 L

Moles NaCl = 0.00050 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass NaCl

Mass NaCl = moles NaCl * molar mass NaCl

Mass NaCl = 0.00050 moles * 58.44 g/mol

Mass NaCl = 0.029 grams

The mass of NaCl is 0.029 grams

State two ways of measuring the quantity of reactant or product
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

If a reaction produces a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide, there are two ways to measure the reaction rate: using a gas syringe to measure the gas produced, or calculating the reduction in the mass of the reaction solution.
