Boyle's law states that for a fixed amount of gas, the volume of the gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to

the pressure. If a certain gas occupies 9.84 liters at a pressure of 50 centimeters of mercury (cm Hg) what is the approximate pressure when the volume is increased to 12 liters ?

Answer: The approximate pressure when the volume is increased to 12 liters is 41 cm Hg

Step-by-step explanation:

As stated in the question, Boyle's law states that for a fixed amount of gas, the volume of the gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure. It could also be stated as "the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature"

Mathematically, P ∝ (1/V)

This means that,

the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases, and also the pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of the container increases.

From the Mathematical expression, P ∝ (1/V).

Hence, P = k(1/V)

Where P is the pressure, V is the volume and k is the proportionality constant

Therefore,

PV = k

We can then write that

P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 = ...

Hence, P1V1 = P2V2

Where P1 is the initial pressure of the gas

P2 is the final pressure of the gas

V1 is the initial volume of the gas

and V2 is the final volume of the gas

From the question,

P1 = 50 cm Hg

V1 = 9.84 liters (L)

P2 = ??

V2 = 12 liters (L)

Using the equation, P1V1 = P2V2

50 × 9.84 = P2 × 12

Therefore, P2 = (50 × 9.84)/12

P2 = 492/12

P2 = 41 cm Hg

Hence, the approximate pressure is 41 cm Hg

Answer:

The answer is 41cmHg of pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure that the gas exerts within the defined space that it is in, then for a gas that has a 50cmHg pressure at 9.84 liters of volume, the pressure it will have at 12 liters of volume can be found as Pfinal = (9,84 x 50) / 12 = 41cmHg of pressure for the same gas.

I hope this answer helps

Determine if the equation defines y as a function of x: 2xy=1
Leona [35]
Solve for y...

2xy=1

y=1/(2x)

So this is a function as each x value (with the exception of x=0) produces just one value for y.  However, technically there is a vertical asymptote about the vertical line x=0.  So there is a discontinuity as x=0.

I say this technically, because most would say that this function is true even with the discontinuity (as they do with say y=tana), but technically the discontinuity makes this not a function because another requirement of a function is for their to be an actual output value for each input value.  In this case division by zero when x=0 is undefined and cannot be included as part of a function.  So if you are picky about being absolute, 2xy=1 is really two functions.  One with a domain of (-oo,0) and another with a domain of (0,+oo).

A survey said that 3 out of 5 students enrolled in higher education took at least one online course last fall. Explain your calc
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

a) 60% probability that student took at least one online course

b) 40% probability that student did not take an online course

c) 12.96% probability that all 4 students selected took online courses.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they took at least one online course last fall, or they did not. The probability of a student taking an online course is independent of other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

3 out of 5 students enrolled in higher education took at least one online course last fall.

This means that p = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6

a) If you were to pick at random 1 student enrolled in higher education, what is the probability that student took at least one online course?

This is P(X = 1) when n = 1. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{1,1}.(0.6)^{1}.(0.4)^{0} = 0.6

60% probability that student took at least one online course.

b) If you were to pick at random 1 student enrolled in higher education, what is the probability that student did not take an online course?

This is P(X = 0) when n = 1.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{1,1}.(0.6)^{0}.(0.4)^{1} = 0.4

40% probability that student did not take an online course

c) Now, consider the scenario that you are going to select random select 4 students enrolled in higher education. Find the probability that all 4 students selected took online courses

This is P(X = 4) when n = 4.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.6)^{4}.(0.4)^{0} = 0.1296

12.96% probability that all 4 students selected took online courses.
