Answer:

The correct option is: <u>B. 366 torr</u>

Explanation:

Given: <u>On the ground</u>- Initial Volume: V₁ = 8.00 m³, Initial Atmospheric Pressure: P₁= 768 torr;

<u>At 4200 m height</u>- Final Volume: V₂ = 16.80 m³, Final Atmospheric Pressure: P₂ = ?

Amount of gas: n, and Temperature: T = constant

<u>According to the Boyle's Law</u>, for a given amount of gas at constant temperature:         P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

⇒  P₂ = P₁ V₁ ÷ V₂

⇒  P₂ = [(768 torr) × (8.00 m³)] ÷ (16.80 m³)

⇒  P₂ = 365.71 torr ≈ 366 torr

<u>Therefore, the final air pressure at 4200 m height: P₂ = 366 torr.</u>

The mole fraction of CO2 in a certain solution with H2O as the solvent is 3.6 × 10−4. What is the approximate molality of CO2 in
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: C) 0.020 m

Explanation:

Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per kg of the solvent.

Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}

where,

n = moles of solute  

W_s = weight of solvent in g  

Mole fraction of CO_2 is = 3.6\times 10^{-4} i.e.3.6\times 10^{-4}  moles of CO_2 is present in 1 mole of solution.

Moles of solute (CO_2) = 3.6\times 10^{-4}

moles of solvent (water) = 1 - 3.6\times 10^{-4} = 0.99

weight of solvent =moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.99\times 18=17.82g

Molality =\frac{3.6\times 10^{-4}\times 1000}{17.82g}=0.020

Thus  approximate molality of CO_2 in this solution is 0.020 m

Uranium-232 has a half-life of 68.8 years. After 344.0 years, how much uranium-232 will remain from a 100.0-g sample?
amm1812

Answer:  3.13 g

Explanation:

Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half-life of uranium-232 = 68.8 years

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{68.8}= 0.010072674 year^{-1}

N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}

N = amount left after time t

N_0 = initial amount

\lambda = rate constant

t= time

N_0 = 100 g, t= 344 years, \lambda=0.010072674 years^{-1}

N=100\times e^{- 0.010072674 years^{-1}\times 344 years}

N=3.13g

Which of the following reactions is incorrectly labeled?
mars1129 [50]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The option a termed as precipitation reaction is incorrectly labelled. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical reactions are classified based on the reactants used and products formed in a reaction. They are decomposition reaction, single displacement reaction, double displacement reaction, acid-base neutralisation reaction, precipitation reaction, combustion reaction, redox reaction and organic reaction.

Among these, the given options are labelled as precipitation and combustion reaction. The one which is labelled as combustion reaction is correct because combustion reactions occur in the presence of oxygen only and the products of combustion reaction should include water, oxygen or carbon and heat.

The other option which is labelled as precipitation reaction is incorrect because precipitation reaction occurs when an ionic substance will come out of a solution due to heating it or stirring it making the solubility of the ionic substance in a solution zero such that it will come out as solid and form a layer at the bottom of the solution.

But in this case all the products are in aqueous state, there is absence of any ionic substance in solid state, so the option which is labelled as precipitation reaction is incorrectly labelled.
