Answer:

Pressure, P = 15.4 lb/in²

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied, F = 26.4 lb

Area of cross section, A = 1.71 in²

To find,

Pressure.

Solution,

Pressure is equal to force per unit area of cross section.

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{26.4\ lb}{1.71\ in^2}\\\\P=15.43\ lb/in^2\\\\P=15.43\ Pa$

Hence, the correct option is (a) "15.4 lb/in²".

For the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g), what will happen if hydrogen gas was removed from the reaction mixture? There will be a

Hoochie [10]

This uses something called Le Chatelier's principle. It states essentially that any stress put upon a system will be corrected.

In more simple terms, it means that in an equilibrium, such as the equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g), removing a reactant will cause the system to create more of said reactant to compensate for its loss, or adding excess reactant will cause the system to remove some of the added reactant. For future reference, the same principle applies to products in an equilibrium as well.

In this case, hydrogen gas is a reactant, and hydrogen is being removed. According to Le Chatelier's principle, the system will shift to create more hydrogen gas. In essence, it will shift in the direction of the hydrogen gas, so there will be a shift toward the reactants.

To clear something up, Keq will not change, as it is a constant value with constant conditions (such as temperature, pressure, etc.).

A mouse is placed in a sealed chamber with air at 769.0 torr. This chamber is equipped with enough solid KOH to absorb any CO2 a

svlad2 [7]

Answer: The amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial pressure of air = 769.0 torr

Final pressure of air = 717.1 torr

Pressure of oxygen = Pressure decreased = Initial pressure - Final pressure = (769.0 - 717.1) torr = 51.9 torr

To calculate the amount of oxygen gas consumed, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 51.9 torr

V = Volume of the gas = 2.20 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 292 K

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$51.9torr\times 2.20L=n\times 62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 292K\\\\n=\frac{51.9\times 2.20}{62.364\times 292}=0.0063mol$

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.0063 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0063mol=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen gas}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of oxygen gas}=(0.0063mol\times 32g/mol)=0.202g$

Hence, the amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.

What is the mass of protons neutrons and electrons PLZ HURRY

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Mass of proton neutron and electron

Protons, neutrons, and electrons: Both protons and neutrons have a mass of 1 amu and are found in the nucleus. However, protons have a charge of +1, and neutrons are uncharged. Electrons have a mass of approximately 0 amu, orbit the nucleus, and have a charge of -1.
