What term matches this definition – negatively charged particle in an atom??

Please Help! Let P and V represent the pressure and volume of Xe(g). If a piston is used to reduce the volume of the gas to V/2

Elza [17]

1) 2P

2) Average speed does not change

Explanation:

1)

To solve the first part of the problem, we can use Boyle's Law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

Mathematically:

$pV=const.$

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is its volume

For the Xe gas in this problem we can write

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

where:

$p_1 = P$ is the initial pressure

$V_1=V$ is the initial volume

$V_2=\frac{V}{2}$ is the final volume

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure:

$p_2=\frac{P V_1}{V_2}=\frac{pV}{V/2}=2P$

So, the pressure has doubled.

2)

The average speed of the atoms/molecules in the gas is given by the formula

$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

where

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature (in Kelvin) of the gas

M is the molar mass of the gas

$v_{rms}$ is known as rms speed of the particles in the gas

From the formula, we see that the speed of the atoms in the gas depends only on the temperature of the gas.

In the Xe(g) gas in this problem, the temperature is kept constant; therefore, since nothing changes in the formula, this means that the average speed also does not change.

Which of the temperatures below is most likely to be the boiling point of water at 880 torr?view available hint(s)which of the t

Luden [163]

Boiling point<span> is the </span>temperature<span> at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding pressure.

Above boiling point point, liquid get converted into vapour.

Now, boiling point of water is 100 oC at room pressure. Room pressure is equal to 760 torr. Thus, at 100 oC, vapour pressure of water becomes equal to 760 torr.

Now, if external pressure is increased to 880 torr, more heat is to be supplied so that vapour pressure of water equals 880 torr.

So, at 880 torr, boiling point of water will be more than 100 oC. In present case, most like the boiling point of water is equal to 105 oC.

Bill, a lab technician, was asked to measure out sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for an experiment in a research lab. He was given a cho

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

He is wrong . Most accurate is Buret .

Explanation:

The number of significant figure denotes the level of accuracy of a measurement .

Beaker can measure liquid in mL upto significant figure of 2 . That means it can measure volume in terms of 10 , 20 , 30mL etc . It can not measure 25 mL

accurately . The last figure of 28 mL is read by guess in the question . So it is not an accurate measurement .

Similarly , graduated cylinder can measure liquid upto significant figure of 3 . That means it can measure volume in terms of 11 , 22 , 33 mL etc . It can not measure 25.5 mL accurately . The last figure of 28.3 mL is read by guess in the question . So it is less accurate measurement .

Similarly , buret can measure liquid upto significant figure of 4 . That means it can measure volume in terms of 11.2 , 22.3 , 33.5 mL etc . It can not measure 25.53 mL accurately . The last figure of 28.32 mL is read by guess in the question . So it is most accurate among all the three instrument because it can measure accurately mL upto one tenth of it .
