It is given that that initial volume of gas is 20 cubic inches.

The initial pressure is given as 5 psi.

The final pressure is given as 10 psi

We are asked to calculate the final volume.

Let initial and final volume of gas is denoted as v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}

Let the initial and final pressure of gas is denoted as p_{1} \ and\ p_{2}

As per the question the temperature of a gas is constant.

From Boyle's law we know that pressure of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the applied volume at constant temperature.

Hence mathematically

                                p\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{v}

                                pv=constant

                                p_{1} v_{1} =p_{2} v_{2}

                                v_{2} =\frac{p_{1}v_{1} }{p_{2} }

Putting the values of these respective quantities as mentioned above we get-

                                  v_{2} =\frac{5\ psi*20 cubic\ inches}{10\ psi}

                                         =10\ cubic\ inches        [ans]

The diagram below shows the different phase transitions that occur in matter.
Margaret [11]

Answer:A

Explanation:matter normally occurs in three phases;solid, liquid and gases. They may change from one phase to another due to temperature difference.

The molecules that makes up solids are held together by bonds. When heat is added,the molecules begin to move as a result,the bonds break and it turns to liquid.this process is called melting. The reverse of melting is freezing.

Liquid are made up of molecules that moves more freely than solids. When heat is added to liquid,the molecules gain more energy and begins to move faster. This causes them to turn to gases.

This process is called evaporation. It occurs at different temperature for different substances.

The particles of gases move more faster and are separated by large distances. A gas can change back to a liquid through condensation.

A simple series circuit consists of a 120 Ω resistor, a 21.0 V battery, a switch, and a 3.50 pF parallel-plate capacitor (initia
slega [8]

Answer

Integral EdA = Q/εo =C*Vc(t)/εo = 3.5e-12*21/εo = 4.74 V∙m <----- A)

Vc(t) = 21(1-e^-t/RC) because an uncharged capacitor is modeled as a short.

ic(t) = (21/120)e^-t/RC -----> ic(0) = 21/120 = 0.175A <----- B)

Q(0.5ns) = CVc(0.5ns) = 2e-12*21*(1-e^-t/RC) = 30.7pC

30.7pC/εo = 3.47 V∙m <----- C)

ic(0.5ns) = 29.7ma <----- D)

How many 1140 nm long molecules would you have to line up end to end to stretch a distance of 158 miles?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

221754385964.9123

Explanation:

Convert miles to nanometer

1 mile = 1.6 km

1 km = 1×10³×10³×10³×10³ nm

1 mile = 1.6×10¹² nm

So,

158 miles = 158×1.6×10¹² = 252.8×10¹² nm

Length of each molecule = 1140 nm

Number of molecules = Total length / Length of each molecule

\text{Number of molecules}=\frac{252.8\times 10^{12}}{1140}\\\Rightarrow \text{Number of molecules}=221754385964.9123

There are 221754385964.9123 number of molecules in a stretch of 158 miles
