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>

What is not a similarity between mars and earth today?
eduard

Answer:

Mars and Earth are two of the planets of the solar system. Some of the ways in which Mars is different from Earth are as follows-

  • The size of the earth is bigger than Mars as Earth has a radius of nearly 6400 km, whereas Mars has a radius of about 3400 km.
  • The atmosphere of earth is primarily comprised of gases such as 78% of Nitrogen (N₂), 21% of Oxygen (O₂), 0.03% of Carbon dioxide (CO₂), and 0.9% of Argon (Ar), whereas the atmosphere of Mars is mainly comprised of 95% of CO₂, 3% of molecular N₂, and 2% of Ar.
  • The surface gravity also marks a contrasting difference as on Mars, the gravity at the surface is only about 38%, in comparison to the gravity at the earth's surface.

lock of mass m2 is attached to a spring of force constant k and m1 . m2. If the system is released from rest, and the spring is
patriot [66]

Answer:

The maximum displacement of the mass m₂ = \frac{2(m_1-m_2)g}{k}

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy (K) = 1/2mv²

Potential Energy (P) = mgh

Law of Conservation of energy states that total energy of the system remains constant.

i.e; Total energy before collision = Total energy after collision

This implies that: the gravitational potential energy lost by m₁ must be equal to sum of gravitational energy gained by m₂ and the elastic potential energy stored in the spring.

m_1gd = m_2gd+\frac{1}{2}kd^2\\\\m_1g = m_2g+\frac{1}{2}kd\\\\d = \frac{2(m_1-m_2)g}{k}

d = maximum displacement of the mass m₂

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed is 99.0km/h. What is its acceleration in m/s2
Shtirlitz [24]
99.0km/h =27.5m/s (this is the initial speed)
The final speed is zero
The distance is 50.0m
Therefore you use the formula:
vfinal²=vinitial²+2ad
a=(vfinal²-vinitial²)/2d
 = (0²-27.5²)/(2x50.0)
 =-7.5625 or in correct sigdigs -7.56m/s²
Hope this helps!

A puddle of water has a thin film of gasoline floating on it. A beam of light is shining perpendicular on the film. If the wavel
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Destructive and constructive interference. The constructive interference in tin film is given by

2t = (m+\frac{1}{2})\frac{\lambda}{n}

Where,

t = thickness

\lambda=Wavelenght

m= is an integer

n= film/refractive index

We use this equaton because phase change is only present for gasoline air interface, but not at the gasoline-water interface. <em>The minimum t only would be when the value of m=0 then</em>

2nt = \frac{\lambda}{2}

t = \frac{560nm}{4*1-4}

t = 100nm

Therefore the correct answer is D. The minimum thickness of the film to see ab right reflection is 100nm
