If a certain gas occupies a volume of 19 L when the applied pressure is 9.5 atm, find the pressure when the gas occupies a volum
kakasveta [241]

Answer: 37.6 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume of gas (V1) = 19L

Initial pressure of gas (P1) = 9.5 atm

Final volume of gas (V2) = 4.8L

Final pressure of gas (P2) = ?

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature remains the same, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

9.5 atm x 19L = P2 x 4.8L

180.5 atm•L = 4.8L•P2

Divide both sides by 4.8L

180.5 atm•L/4.8L = 4.8L•P2/4.8L

37.6 atm = P2

Thus, the final pressure is 37.6 atmospheres.

Why does a solid have a definite shape and volume?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Particles in a solid have fixed locations in a volume that does not change. Solids have a definite volume and shape because particles in a solid vibrate around fixed locations.

Why amino acids are soluble in pH=3 or pH=10 solutions more than it dissolves in pH=7 solutions?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Solubility is Affected by pH

The pH of an aqueous solution can affect the solubility of the solute. By changing the pH of the solution, you can change the charge state of the solute.

At pH extremes, the amino acid molecules mostly carry a net charge, thus increasing their solubility in polar solvent. At very low or very high pH, the amino acid molecules have increased charge, thus form more salt bonds with water solvent molecules.

An isoelectric point is the pH at which an amino acid exists as its zwitterion. A zwitterion is the dipolar ionic form of an amino acid. ... If the pH is lower (in acidic conditions) than the isoelectric point then the amino acid acts as a base and accepts a proton at the amino group. This gives it a positive change.

An amino acid is usually more soluble in aqueous solvent at pH extremes than it is at a pH near the isolelectric point of the amino acid. (Note that this does not mean that the amino acid is insoluble at a pH near its pI.)

Which of the following statements correctly explains this phenomenon?

(Select all that apply.)

The neutral charge of an amino acid molecule at its isoelectric point will make the molecule hydrophobic.

At pH extremes, the amino acid molecules mostly carry a net charge, thus increasing their solubility in polar solvent.

At very low or very high pH, the amino acid molecules have increased charge, thus form more salt bonds with water solvent molecules.

At pH values far from the isoelectric point, individual amino acid molecules have greater kinetic energy, thus more readily stay in solution.

Which process is expected to have an increase in entropy?
olganol [36]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Degree of randomness of the molecules of a substance is known as entropy. More is the kinetic energy between the molecules of a substance more will be the degree of randomness.

Therefore, when a substance is present in a gaseous state then it has the maximum entropy. In liquid state, molecules are closer to each other so, there is less randomness between them.

On the other hand, in solid state molecules are much more closer to each other as they arr held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Therefore, they have very less entropy.

  • When liquid water is formed from gaseous hydrogen and oxygen molecules then gas is changing into liquid. So, there is decrease in entropy.
  • When N_{2}O_{4} decomposes then the reaction will be as follows.

            N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Since, 1 mole is producing 2 moles. This means that degree of randomness is increasing as both the molecules are present in gaseous form.

  • In formation of a precipitate, aqueous solution is changing into solid state. Hence, degree of randomness is decreasing.
  • Rusting of iron also leads to the formation of solid as it forms Fe_{2}O_{3}.xH_{2}O.

Thus, we can conclude that decomposition of N_{2}O_{4} gas to NO_{2} gas is the process that is expected to have an increase in entropy.
