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>

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?
Mice21 [21]
In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between <span>weak bases and strong acids</span>, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion<span>, while the cation from the weak base will donate a </span>proton<span> to the water forming a hydronium ion</span><span>.

The voltage supplied to a circuit is 17 V and the current running through is 10 A. What is the power generated?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

170 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = VI.................... Equation 1

Where P = Power generated in watt, V = Voltage supplied to the circuit, I = Current running through the circuit.

From the question,

Given: V = 17 V, I = 10 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (17×10)

P = 170 Watt.

Hence the power generated is 170 W.

The right option is A. 170 W

A 545-kg satellite is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height above Earth equal to Earth's mean radius. (a) Find the satelli
Art [367]

Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 545 Kg

R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m

H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius

a) satellite's orbital velocity

   centripetal force acting on satellite = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

     gravitational force = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

    equating both the above equation

    \dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

      v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}

      v = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}}

          v = 5578.5 m/s

b) T= \dfrac{2\pi\ r}{v}

   T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}

   T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}

          T = 14416.92 s

          T = \dfrac{14416.92}{3600}\ hr

          T = 4 hr

c) gravitational force acting

  F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

  F = \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 545 \times 5.972 \times 10^{24} }{(6.46 \times 10^6)^2}

     F = 5202 N

Quick Quiz 40.2 While standing outdoors one evening, you are exposed to the following four types of electromagnetic radiation: y
Firlakuza [10]

The order of decreasing photon energy is FM radio, AM radio, yellow light, and microwaves.

Electromagnetic radiation: The electromagnetic field's waves, which are conveying electromagnetic radiant energy through space, are what make up electromagnetic radiation. It consists of X-rays, gamma rays, microwaves, infrared, light, and radio waves. These waves are all a component of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Microwave radiation has wavelengths between one meter and one millimeter, which correspond to frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz, respectively.

Radio waves: The electromagnetic spectrum's longest wavelengths, which are found in radio waves, are normally found at frequencies of 300 gigahertz and below.

The radio waves have the highest photon energy and the lowest is microwaves.

So, the highest to lowest order is FM radio, AM radio, yellow light and microwaves.
