Un gas ocupa un volumen de 358L a 152°C y 470 mmHg ¿Qué volumen ocupara el gas, si la temperatura aumente a 500 K y 6 atm?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

42 L

Explanation:

de los parámetros en la pregunta;

V1 = 358L

T1 = 152 ° C + 273 = 425 K

P1 = 470 mmHg × 1 atm / 760 mmHg = 0.6atm

V2 =?

P2 = 6 atmósferas

T2 = 500 K

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

V2 = P1V1T2 / P2T1

V2 = 0,6 × 358 × 500/6 × 425

V2 = 107400/2550

V2 = 42 L

In 2005, a Nevada silver mine exported 200 tons of silver. In 2008, as the silver supply became exhausted, it only exported 25 t
lianna [129]
The rate of change in the amount of silver supplied is equal to the ratio of the difference in the amount supplied to the number of years elapsed from 2005 to 2008. That is,
               rate of change = (25 - 200) / (2008 - 2005) = -173/3
The answer is letter A.

What is a cation and where can you find it on the periodic table?
Maslowich

Answer:

A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

What were some reasons why it was a good idea to remove the lid from the separatory funnel after each extraction? Select all tha
masya89 [10]
Liquid will no pour out. At the bottom the separating funnel consists of a valve it allow the liquid to flow out.The lid is on the top to pour in liquid from the top,it is air tight. Therefore as long as the lid is put, the liquid will not flow out at the bottom. The reason is that ,the incoming air has no way to get into the flask.

What is the energy in joules of one photon of<br> microwaveradiation with a wavelength 0.122m?
pentagon [3]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy of photon is 162.93\times 10^{-26}J

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the light  = ?

h = Planck's constant  = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength of photon = 0.122 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{0.122m}\\\\E=162.93\times 10^{-26}J

Hence, the energy of photon is 162.93\times 10^{-26}J
