Which has a greater density, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold

Chemistry
1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello!!

Please remember that density=mass/volume.

In this case, we have the same mass for the feathers and the gold (1 pound).

So, if the mass is the same for both we have:

Df*Vg=Dg*Vf    where f means feathers and g means gold.

In this case we see density is inversely related to volume. Both materials have the same mass. So which one have a bigger volume?

For this take a pound of feathers and submerge in a known volume of water. Note the displacement. Do the same for a pound of gold. Whichever has the smaller displacement, has the greater density.

In this case, Gold has the greatest density.

Prove that PV = nRT.​
qaws [65]

Find your answer in the explanation below.

Explanation:

PV = nRT is called the ideal gas equation and its a combination of 3 laws; Charles' law, Boyle's law and Avogadro's law.

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. i.e V = 1/P

From, Charles' law, we have that volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas at constant pressure. i.e V = T

Avogadro's law finally states that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. i.e V = n

Combining the 3 Laws together i.e equating volume in all 3 laws, we have

V = nT/P,

V = constant nT/P

(constant = general gas constant = R)

V = RnT/P

by bringing P to the LHS, we have,

PV = nRT.

Alla [95]

Answer:

(n, l, m sub l, m sub s)

N: principle quantum number (1,2,3,4,etc)

l: angular momentum quantum number, the shape (l has to be at least 1 less than n, but can be 0 depending on n)

M sub l: magnetic quantum number (l determines this number)

M sub s: spin quantum number (can only ever be 1/2 or -1/2)
