Answer:

The volume of the piston would be 250 mL.

Explanation:

Volume of the piston, V_1=500\ mL

Pressure, P_1=15\ atm

Let V_2 is the volume of piston if the pressure increased to 30.0 atm.

It is based on Boyle's law. It is given by:

\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{V_1P_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{500\times 15}{30}\\\\V_2=250\ mL

So, the volume of the piston would be 250 mL.

A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 42. How many electrons does the atom have?
Bingel [31]

If we have a neutral atom, then it has the same number protons and neutrons.

The number protons and neutrons for neutral atom shows atomic number.

"A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20" means that atom has 20 protons (that give charge "+ 20" ) and 20 electrons (that give charge "-20").

Answer is 20 electrons.

Which molecules are pure elements?
Elenna [48]
Well none since molecules are a group of two or more atoms electrically bonded with one another. However, there are gases that does not naturally bond due to their stability and can be found in nature as pure elements. But these are not considered as molecules.

(By the way, these gases are the noble gases that can be found on the last column of the periodic table)

In what can wax harmful
Tanzania [10]
GEORGEOCTOBER 18, 2012Floor Wax is Harmful to the Environment

Floor wax is applied on floor surfaces to make it scuff-resistant, water-resistant, slip resistant and glossy. It provides a thin, protective and hard surface layer when applied to flooring. Conventional floor wax has five main ingredients and each one of them has detrimental effects on the environment, not to mention the chemical waste created by the continuous upkeep required. The cumulative effects of these ingredients on the environmental render their harmful actions more potent and difficult to reverse.

An inventor claims to have developed a new perfume that lasts a long time because it doesn't evaporate. Comment on this claim.
zaharov [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Perfume needs to evaporate in order to smell.  If this perfume didn't evaporate, it would stay as a liquid and never smell.  

It wouldn't be D, as no toxic perfumes is sold.

It's not A because perfume doesn't have to be pressurized in order to not evaporate.

It's not B, as it is a hasty conclusion to the claim.  Plus, if the perfume did have an odor, even while not evaporating, the sales would be low as the product is that good.

The melting point of the metal potassium is 63.5c, while that of titanium is 1660c. what explanation can be given for this great
kiruha [24]

The melting point of potassium = 63.5^{0}C

Melting point of titanium = 1660^{0}C

Titanium has a stronger metallic bonding compared to potassium. Titanium being a transition metal has greater number of valence electrons (4 valence electrons) contributing to the valence electron sea compared to potassium which has only one valence electron. The atomic size of Titanium much lower than that of potassium, so the bonding between Titanium atoms is stronger than that of potassium. Hence, the melting point of Titanium is much higher than that of potassium.
