Answer:

decrease the volume of the cylinder.

Explanation:

In order to be able to solve this question we have to understand what Boyle's law is. According to Boyle's law; at constant temperature the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to to its volume.

The Boyle's law shows us the relationship between the pressure and the volume. So, the Important thing to note hear is that if the volume in a container is decreased then the pressure will increase (and vice versa) due to the fact that as the volume decreases the particles in that container makes more collision which will make the pressure to increase.

Since, the piston is moveable it means that we can decrease and increase the volume in the cylinder. So, if the decrease the volume of the cylinder then we will have an increase in the pressure of the gas below the piston.

A sample of argon gas at 55°C is under 845 mm Hg pressure. What will the new temperature be if the pressure is raised to 1050 mm
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The final temperature at 1050 mmHg is 134.57 ^{\circ}C or 407.57 Kelvin.

Explanation:

Initial temperature = T = 55^{\circ}C = 328 K

Initial pressure = P = 845 mmHg

Assuming final  to be temperature to be T' Kelvin

Final Pressure = P' = 1050 mmHg  

The final temperature is obtained by following relation at constant volume

\displaystyle \frac{P}{P'}=\displaystyle \frac{T}{T'} \\ \displaystyle \frac{845 \textrm{ mmHg}}{1050 \textrm{ mmHg}} = \displaystyle \frac{328 \textrm{ K}}{T'} \\T' = 407.57 \textrm{ Kelvin}

The final temperature is 407.57 K

which statement best describes a mole? it is 12 units of a given substance. it contains 6.02 1023 grams of sodium chloride. it i
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The correct option is;

It contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles of a given substance

Explanation:

A mole of substance is the standard scientific unit of measurement for the quantity of the substance which is made up of a large number of small particles such as molecules, ions, atoms, electrons or other entities.

The General Conference on Weights and Measures defines the mole as the amount of a substance that contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ units of entities

The number 6.02214076 × 10²³, is also known as Avogadro's number.

A force that exists throughout the universe. Earth's will pull on you at a rate of 9.8 m/s2 if you ignore friction.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Your answer is Gravity,

The Earth's gravity pulls things at a rate of 9.8m/s² (varying depending upon one's distance). according to Newton, "all mass in the universe exerts some gravitational force". you are pulling on Sagitarios A* (the black hole at the center of the milky way galaxy) right now, and it is also pulling on you.

If you have any questions I <em><u>insist</u></em> that you ask in the comments.
