Answer:
d. Temperature and number of molecules of gas
Step-by-step explanation:
Boyle's Law states, "The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure if the temperature remains constant."
Let's examine the words.
"… volume…is inversely proportional to the pressure …" This means that volume and pressure are the <em>variables</em>.
"… fixed mass of a gas …" means that the number of molecules is constant.
"… temperature remains constant" speaks for itself.
a, c, and e are <em>wrong</em>, because pressure is a variable.
b is <em>wrong</em>, because volume is a variable.
Answer: HCl
Explanation:
calcium carbonate dissolves in HCl acid producing CO 2 gas. It will not dissolve in pure water. The Ksp for calcium carbonate in water is 3.4 x 10-9 moldm-3 which is very low. What takes place here is actually a chemical reaction:
CaCO 3 (s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl 2 (aq) + H 2CO 3(aq)
This reaction accounts for the solubility of the Calcium carbonate in HCl and not in pure water.
Out of the choices given, the part of the atom that forms chemical bonds are the outermost electrons. The correct answer is B.
