When the pressure increases, the area decreases.
When the area increases, the pressure decreases.
Chemical Formulas (in their most basic form) are things like that.
They can get as complicated as HSO + HSO3 = H2SO4 though.
Answer:
The pressure of the gas after getting compressed is 1.92 L.
Explanation:
To calculate the new pressure, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.
The equation given by this law is:
(At constant temperature)
where,
are initial pressure and volume.
are final pressure and volume.
We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:



The pressure of the gas after getting compressed is 1.92 L.
Answer:
39.6 g
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is;
2Mg(s) + O2(g) --------> 2MgO(s)
To obtain the limiting reactant;
Number of moles in 26.4 g of Mg = 26.4g/24 g/mol = 1.1 moles
If 2 moles of Mg yields 2 moles of MgO
1.1 moles of Mg yields 1.1 * 2/2 = 1.1 moles of MgO
Number of moles in 26.4 g of O2 = 26.4 g/32g/mol = 0.825 moles
If 1 mole of O2 yields 2 moles of MgO
0.825 moles of O2 yields 0.825 moles * 2/1 = 1.65 moles of MgO
Hence Mg is the limiting reactant.
Theoretical yield of MgO = 1.1 moles of MgO * 40 g/mol = 44 g
Percent yield = 90%
Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100
Actual yield = Percent yield * theoretical yield/100
Actual yield = 90 * 44/100
Actual yield = 39.6 g
