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>

If a current is two amps and the resistance is 3 ohms, how much voltage was needed?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

6 V

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage in the circuit

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know the current, I=2 A, and the resistance, R=3 \Omega, therefore we can find the voltage in the circuit:

V=RI=(3 \Omega )(2 A)=6 V

The diagram shows monochromatic light passing through two openings.

Answer:

constructive interference in which waves strengthen each other

Explanation:

Some definitions:

- Costructive interference occurs when two (or more) waves meet each other in phase, so with same displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves strengthen each other, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves

- Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet each other in anti-phase, so with opposite displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves cancel each other out, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference of the amplitudes of the individual waves (which means zero if the two waves are identical)

For light waves interfering with each other, 'white' means costructive interference, while 'black' means destructive interference (because black is absence of colors, so this means that the waves cancel each other out). In this problem, we see that point X, Y and X are white, therefore they are point of constructive interference, where the waves strengthen each other.

A 2kg blob of putty moving at 4 m/s slams into a 6kg blob of putty at rest what is the speed of the to stick together blobs imme
andrew11 [14]
<h2>Answer</h2>

1m/s

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given that:

<em>Mass of first blob = 2kg = m1</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 4m/s = v1</em>

<em>Mass of second blob = 6kg = m2</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 0m/s = v2</em>

<em />

To find:

<em>Final velocity = Vf</em>

<em />

<em>This question is of inelastic collision which is any collision between objects in which some energy is lost.</em>

<em />

<h3>Formula to be use:</h3><h2>(m1*v1) + (m2*V2) = Vf(m1 + m2)</h2>

(2*4) + (6*0) = Vf(2+6)

8 + 0 = Vf(8)

8 = Vf(8)

Vf = 1 m/s

So the speed of two blobs immediately after colliding = 1 m/s
