Two rigid tanks of equal size and shape are filled with different gases. The tank on the left contains oxygen, and the tank on t

he right contains hydrogen. Assume both gases are ideal. The molar masses of oxygen and hydrogen are 32 and 2, respectively. Both containers are at the same temperature. A pressure gauge is pin oxygen hydrogen connected to each tank. Both gauges show a reading of 230 kPa.
Is the number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than, less than, or equal to the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

The number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.

Explanation:

Given:

Molar mass of oxygen, M_O=32

Molar mass of hydrogen, M_H=2

We know ideal gas law as:

PV=nRT

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n= no. of moles of the gas molecules

R = universal gs constant

T = temperature of the gas

∵n=\frac{m}{M}

where:

m = mass of gas in grams

M = molecular mass of the gas

∴Eq. (1) can be written as:

PV=\frac{m}{M}.RT

P=\frac{m}{V}.\frac{RT}{M}

        as: \frac{m}{V}=\rho\ (\rm density)

So,

P=\rho.\frac{RT}{M}

Now, according to given we have T,P,R same for both the gases.

P_O=P_H

\rho_O.\frac{RT}{M_O}=\rho_H.\frac{RT}{M_H}

\Rightarrow \frac{\rho_O}{32}=\frac{\rho_H}{2}

\rho_O=16\rho_H

∴The molecules of oxygen are more densely packed than the molecules of hydrogen in the same volume at the same temperature and pressure. So, <em>the number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.</em>

A motorcycle has a constant acceleration of 3.49 m/s2. Both the velocity and acceleration of the motorcycle point in the same di
Vilka [71]

Answer:

(a)2.865 s

(b)2.865 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration,a=3.49 m/s^2

a.Initial speed,u=29 m/s

Final speed,v=39 m/s

We know that

t=\frac{v-u}{a}

Using the formula

t=\frac{39-29}{3.49}=2.865 s

b.Initial speed,u=59 m/s

Final speed,v=69 m/s

Again using the formula

t=\frac{69-59}{3.49}=2.865 s

What happens when the density of a medium increases
Anvisha [2.4K]
We all know that the sound travels faster through solids and then liquids and then through gases.
As far as i know solids are the medium through which the sound travels fast.

But in some websites I saw that as the density increases , the velocity of the sound decreases.If this statement is correct , how come the sound travels fastest through solids (since they have higher density) 

From this it is clear that not only sound as compression wave But also in the form of Shear wave travels in Solids

This makes it easier for sound to travel with higher speed in solids

What are the density, specific gravity and mass of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m * 6 m * 8 m at 100 kPa and 25 C.
Volgvan

Answer:

Density = 1.1839 kg/m³

Mass = 227.3088 kg

Specific Gravity = 0.00118746 kg/m³

Explanation:

Room dimensions are 4 m, 6 m & 8 m. Thus, volume = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192 m³

Now, from tables, density of air at 25°C is 1.1839 kg/m³

Now formula for density is;

ρ = mass(m)/volume(v)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

1.1839 = m/192

m = 227.3088 kg

Formula for specific gravity of air is;

S.G_air = density of air/density of water

From tables, density of water at 25°C is 997 kg/m³

S.G_air = 1.1839/997 = 0.00118746 kg/m³
