The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. In a physical change, substances can change form, but the total mass remains the same.
Answer:
7.35atm
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
V1 = 28L
T1 = 42°C = 42 + 273 = 315K
P1 =?
V2 = 49L
T2 = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300K
P2 = 4atm
Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, the original pressure can be obtained as follows:
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
P1 x 28/315 = 4 x 49/300
Cross multiply to express in linear form
P1 x 28 x 300 = 315 x 4 x 49
Divide both side by 28 x 300
P1 = (315 x 4 x 49) /(28 x 300)
P1 = 7.35atm
Therefore, the original pressure is 7.35atm
You can start by recycling plastic and paper more often! Pick up trash that you see laying in the street and don’t add to it by littering!
