A 500 mL piston has a gas mixture inside at a pressure of 15.0 atm. What volume would the piston have if the pressure increased

to 30.0 atm?
Chemistry

spayn [35]3 years ago

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.

How many protons and electrons are present in Au+?
balandron [24]

Answer:

Protons: 79

Electrons: 78

Explanation:

1. The number of protons is the atomic number (The atomic number for Au on the periodic table is 79)

2. Since the charge is +1 (positive) it means that there's one more proton than electrons. So, 79-1 = 78 electrons

A certain hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C9H16. Which of the following is not a structural possibility for this hydrocar
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that molecular formula is C_{9}H_{16}. Now, we will calculate the degree of unsaturation as follows.

Degree of unsaturation = C_{n} - \frac{\text{monovalent}}{2} + \frac{\text{trivalent}}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - \frac{16}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - 8 + 1

                                  = 2

As the degree of unsaturation comes out to be 2. It means that this compound will contain one ring and one double bond.

Yes, this compound could be an alkyne as for alkyne D.B.E = 2.

But this compound cannot be a cycloalkane because for a cycloalkane D.B.E = 1 which is due to the ring only.

Thus, we can conclude that it is a cycloalkane is not a structural possibility for this hydrocarbon.

Which material does not melt at any temperature?
lord [1]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Wood is a mixture of different substances. Primarily it consists of cellulose, lignin, water etc.

When we heat wood then all these substance oxidize into the atmosphere even before they could melt.

Whereas iron, sodium chloride and ethanol all are the substances which can melt at any temperature.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, wood, a mixture of different substances is a material that does not melt at any temperature.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

A-10

Explanation:

In the SI, designations of multiples and subdivision of any unit may be arrived at by combining with the name of the unit the prefixes deka, hecto, and kilo meaning, respectively, 10, 100, and 1000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth.

The definition of the acceleration states that an object accelerates when it
maks197457 [2]

Answer: Acceleration and velocity

Explanation:

Newton's second law says that when a constant force acts on a massive body, it causes it to accelerate, i.e., to change its velocity, at a constant rate. In the simplest case, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force.
