Answer: 234.4K

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas (V1) = 5.00 L

Original temperature of gas (T1) = 20.0°C

[Convert 20.0°C to Kelvin by adding 273

20.0°C + 273 = 293K]

New volume of gas (V2) = 4.0L

New temperature of gas (T2) = ?

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

V1/T1 = V2/T2

5.00L/293K = 4.0L/T2

To get the value of T2, cross multiply

5.00L x T2 = 293K x 4.0L

5.00L•T2 = 1172L•K

Divide both sides by 5.00L

5.00L•T2/5.00L = 1172L•K/5.00L

T2 = 234.4K

Thus, the new temperature of the gas is 234.4 Kelvin

How would increasing the original concentration of a weak acid affect its ka and pka?

Inessa [10]

Answer: C. $K_a$ would increase and $pK_a$ would decrease.

Explanation:

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-$

initially conc. c 0 0

At eqm. $c(1-\alpha)$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

The expression for dissociation constant is,

$K_a=\frac{c\alpha\times c\alpha}{c(1-\alpha)}$

for weak acid, $\alpha$ is very very small , the expression will be,

$K_a=\frac{c^2\alpha^2}{c}=c\alpha^2$

$K_a=c\alpha^2$ As $k_a$ is directly proportional to concentration, the value of $K_a$ would increase on increasing the concentration.

$pK_a=log\frac{1}{K_a}$

Thus if $K_a$ would increase, $pk_a$ would decrease.

how is the arrangement of molecules in a dense object different than arrangement by molecule in a less dense object

solmaris [256]

Answer:

The molecules in a dense object are tightly packed together

Explanation:

This happens because the closer molecules are the denser the object is, however, if they get too close it can be a very disastrous result and the compound becomes very unstable. Hope I could help! :)

In caves, dripping groundwater containing calcium bicarbonate can form stalactites and stalagmites. When the water is exposed to

Ksivusya [100]

The answer is A, a new chemical substance has to be formed for there to be a chemical change. This is because chemical change happens when a phase of matter changes due to chemicals.

You are a NASCAR pit crew member. Your employer is leading the race with 20 laps to go. He just finished a pit stop and has 5.0

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Since there are 3500 g of fuel left in the tank, and he needs only 1687.5 g to complete 20 laps, he has enough fuel to complete the race. I will tell the driver that he does not need to make another pit stop as he has enough fuel to complete the race.

Explanation:

Density = mass / volume

Density of fuel = 700 g/ 1 gal

Therefore, the mass of fuel in 1 gallon = 700 g

The driver has 5.0 gallons of fuel in the tank.

The mass of 5.0 gallons of fuel = 5 × 700 = 3500 g of fuel

Equation of the combustion of fuel, C₅H₁₂ is given below:

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ ---> 6 H₂O + 5 CO₂

1 mole C₅H₁₂ requires 8 moles of O₂

1 mole of C₅H₁₂ has a mass = 72 g

8 moles of O₂ has a mass = 256 g

Therefore, 300 g of O₂ will require 300 × (72/256) g of C₅H₁₂ = 84.375 g of C₅H₁₂

84.375 g of fuel is used by the car per lap;

20 laps will require 20 × 84.375 g of fuel = 1687.5 g of fuel.
