10. When the pressure on a gas inetcases three times, by how much will the volume incrcase or decrease?
blagie [28]

Answer:The answer to this question comes from experiments done by the scientist Robert Boyle in an effort to improve air pumps. In the 1600's, Boyle measured the volumes of gases at different pressures. Boyle found that when the pressure of gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. when the pressure of gas is decreased, the volume increases. this relationship between pressure and volume is called Boyle's law.

Explanation: So, at constant temperature, the answer to your answer is: the volume decreases in the same ratio as the ratio of pressure increases.

BUT, in general, there is not a single answer to your question. It depend by the context.

For example, if you put the gas in a rigid steel tank (volume is constant), you can heat the gas, so provoking a pressure increase. But you won't get any change in volume.

Or, if you heat the gas in a partially elastic vessel (as a tire or a soccer ball) you will get both an increase of volume AND an increase of pressure.

FINALLY if you inflate a bubblegum ball, the volume will be increased without any change in pressure and temperature, because you have increased the NUMBER of molecules in the balloon.

There are many other ways to change volume and pressure of a gas that are different from the Boyle experiment.

Why do farmers spray water over their crops before a frost?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

When water freezes and turns into ice, it releases latent heat. Then, the ice that builds up on the plant will insulate it from the colder surrounding air temperatures. Because of this, some growers choose to spray their crop with water before the freeze occurs.

Salts are which part of an aqueous solution?
masha68 [24]

Explanation:

Salts are the solutes in an aqueous solution. An aqueous solution is solution whose solvent water.

  • To form a solution,a solute must be dissolved in a solvent.
  • For aqueous solutions, the solvent which is the dissolving medium is made up of water.
  • The solute is the substance that is dissolved in it.
  • Salts for example can be a solute in an aqueous solution.
  • A salt is generally an ionic compound consisting of positive ions such as metallic, ammonium ans complex ions and negative ions such as acid radicals and complex ions.
