Answer:

Radius of the interior sphere = 3.847 nm

Explanation:

The volume of the shell (Vs) is equal to the difference of the volume of the outer sphere (Vo) and the volume of the inner sphere (Vi). Then:

V_s=V_o-V_i=V_i\\V_o=2*V_i\\

If we express the radius of the outer sphere (ro) in function of the radius of the inner sphere (ri), we have (e being the shell thickness):

r_o=r_i+e

The first equation becomes

\frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_o^{3}  = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3}  \\\\\frac{4 \pi}{3}*(r_i+e)^{3}  = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3}  \\\\(r_i+e)^{3}  = 2 *r_i^{3}  \\\\(r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3})=2r_i^{3}\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3}=0\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}+3r_i+1=0

To find ri that satisfies this equation we have to find the roots of the polynomial.

Numerically, it could be calculated that ri=3.847 nm satisfies the equation.

So if the radius of the interior sphere is 3.847 nm, the volume of the interior sphere is equal to the volume of the shell of 1nm.

Which yields H+(aq) as the only positive ion in an aqueous solution?(1) CH3CHO (2) CH3CH2OH (3) CH3COOH (4) CH3OCH3
Arte-miy333 [17]
If H+ would have to dissociate from a substance and must be the only positive ion in the solution that substance must be an acid.
CH3CHO is an aldehyde called acetaldehyde. 
CH3CH2OH is an alcohol called ethanol 
CH3OCH3 is an ether called dimethyl ether. 
and finally, the answer CH3COOH is a weak acid called acetic acid.

The temperature and number of moles of a gas are held constant. Which of the following is true for the pressure of the gas?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law,

The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure applied on gas at constant volume and number of moles of gas.

Mathematical expression:

P ∝ 1/ V

P = K/V

PV = K

when volume is changed from V1 to V2 and pressure from P1 to P2 then expression will be.

P1V1 = K         P2V2 = K

P1V1 = P2V2
