From the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant, P is pressure, V is volume,  and T is temperature of the gas.

The pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at constant temperature and number of moles.

Hence, on decreasing the pressure, the volume will increase.

As the hiker reaches a height of a mountain, the pressure would decrease which results in the reestablishment of equilibrium between gas molecules thus resulting in pushing of bag outwards.

Hence, the bag will expand as the hiker reaches the top of the mountain.

Answer:

1) 950 mL

2) 625 mmHg

3) 426 mL

Explanation:

1) This is the relationship between pressure and volume. This relationship looks like this:

P1*V1 = P2*V2

This means the first pressure times the initial volume is equal to the second pressure times the second volume. We are solving for the second volume. First, convert the mmHg to atm and the mL to L.

1 L * 1 atm = 1.053 atm * X

X = 0.95 L or 950 mL

2) This is the same concept as the last one. :) We don't have to convert the mmHg to atm since the answer wants it in mmHg.

750 mmHg * 0.25 L = 0.3 L * X

X = 625 mmHg

3) The relationship between volume and temperature is similar to the one between pressure and temperature (like the problem in your last question). Remember to convert degrees C to Kelvin and mL to L.

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

0.4 L / 303 K = X / 323 K

X = 0.426 L pr 426 mL

These problems become much easier once you learn the relationships between the different variables (temp, pressure, volume, etc.) When you have a problem like this, I like to first determine what relationship I am dealing with and then write out what I have and what I am solving for. This helps with organizing the problem. Then just solve it like a normal algebra problem. Always remember to convert temp to Kelvin, mL to L, and pressure to atm (unless it wants it in a different unit, then just make sure all the units match).

Good luck with you studies! :)

Explanation: cell in the body is enclosed by a cell (Plasma) membrane. The cell membrane separates the material outside the cell, extracellular, from the material inside the cell, intracellular. ... All materials within a cell must have access to the cell membrane (the cell's boundary) for the needed exchange

Metallic copper is formed when aluminum reacts with copper(ii) sulfate. how many grams of metallic copper can be obtained when 5
exis [7]
Answer is: 127 grams <span>rams of metallic copper can be obtained.
</span>Balanced chemical reaction: 2Al + 3CuSO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3Cu.
m(Al) = 54.0 g.
n(Al) = m(Al) ÷ M(Al).
n(Al) = 54 g ÷ 27 g/mol.
n(Al) = 2 mol.
m(CuSO₄) = 319 g.
n(CuSO₄) = 319 g ÷ 159.6 g/mol.
n(CuSO₄) = 2 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(CuSO₄) : n(Cu) = 3 : 3 (1 : 1).
n(Cu) = 2 mol.
n(Cu) = 2 mol · 63.55 g/mol.
n(Cu) = 127.1 g.
