1. A gas occupies 4.31 litres at a pressure of 0.755atm. Determine the volume if the pressure is increased to 1.25 atm.

method: Boyles Law: P1/V1 = P2/V2
P1/V1 = P2/V2 implies V2= P2 V1/ P1
V2=1.25x4.31 / 17=7.13L


2. 600 mL of a gas is at a pressure of 8.00atm. What is the Volume of the gas at 2 atm?

method: Boyles Law: P1/V1 = P2/V2
P1/V1 = P2/V2 implies V2= P2 V1/ P1,
V1=2.6mL=0.026L
V2= P2 V1/ P1= 0.00065 L

3. How hot will a 2.3 L balloon have to get to expand to a volume of 400 L? Assume that the initial temperature of the balloon is 25 degrees Celsius.

Method: Charles Law: V1/T1 =V2/T2 Degrees Celcius + 273 = Kelvin

25 degrees Celsius=25+273=298K=T1

V1=2.3L, V2=400L

V1/T1 =V2/T2 implies T2=V2T1/V1=(400x298) /2.3=51826 K

4. A gas takes up a volume of 17 litres, has a pressure of 2.3atm, and a temperature of 299K. If I raise the temperature to 350K and lower the pressure to 1.5atm, what is the new volume of the gas?

Combined gas Law: (P1)(V1) = (P2)(V2)
(T1) (T2)

V1=17L
P1=2.3 atm
T1= 299K
P2=1.5 atm
T2=350 K
V2=?

(P1)(V1) / T1= (P2)(V2)/ T2

so V2= (P1)(V1) T2 / P2 T1
V2=17x2.3x350 /1.5 x 299= 30.51L

The pH of 0.10 M solution of an acid is 6. What is the acid dissociation constant of the acid?

svlad2 [7]

Answer: Dissociation constant of the acid is $10^{-11}$ .

Explanation: Assuming the acid to be monoprotic, the reaction follows:

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

pH of the solution = 6

and we know that

$pH=-log([H^+])$

$[H^+]=antilog(-pH)$

$[H^+]=antilog(-6)=10^{-6}M$

As HA ionizes into its ions in 1 : 1 ratio, hence

$[H^+]=[A^-]=10^{-6}M$

As the reaction proceeds, the concentration of acid decreases as it ionizes into its ions, hence the decreases concentration of acid at equilibrium will be:

$[HA]=[HA]-[H^+]$

$[HA]=0.1M-10^{-6}M$

$[HA]=0.09999M$

Dissociation Constant of acid, $K_a$ is given as:

$K_a=\frac{[A^-][H^+]}{HA}$

Putting values of $[H^+],[A^-]\text{ and }[HA]$ in the above equation, we get

$K_a=\frac{(10^{-6}M).(10^{-6}M)}{0.09999M}$

$K_a=1.0001\times 10^{-11}M$

Rounding it of to one significant figure, we get

$K_a=1.0\times 10^{-11}M\approx 10^{-11}M$

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Inhibition and tolerance.

Explanation:

Competitive inhibitors are characterized by being chemicals that are similar to the normal substrate. While non-competitive inhibitors are chemicals that bind to the enzyme and alter its shape. This renders the active site of the enzyme ineffective against the substrate. Tolerance makes a society that is fair and equitable.

Why is there no gas pressure in a vacuum?

kramer

no gas pressure in a vacuum - like space

nothing to 'contain' the gas

we have air pressure because of gravity -
air is like waves over the earth - i.e. high and low pressure
high means a lot of air
low means a little and a hurricane or stormy weather is imminent

all the best
