They are compressed so that a larger amount of gas can be stored in a smaller container. A greater mass confined to a smaller volume makes transporting and storing of gases easier. Increasing temperature increases pressure, and the cylinders might explode. Before compressed oxygen can be breathed, it must be decompressed.

Answer:  Large Amount of gas can be stored in the small container

Explanation:  Gases such as oxygen found in tanks used as hospitals are compressed because on compressing the gas, its volume decreases which will help to store large amount of gas.

This large amount can be stored in the small container.

Care must be taken as temperature should be not increased because as temperature will increase, pressure will also increase and this could lead to the explosion of the cylinder . Thus preventive measures must be taken.

The base-dissociation constant, kb, for pyridine, c5h5n, is 1.4x10-9 the acid-dissociation constant, ka, for the pyridinium ion,
sp2606 [1]
We are given the base dissociation constant, Kb, for Pyridine (C5H5N) which is 1.4x10^-9. The acid dissociation constant, Ka for the Pyridium ion or the conjugate acid of Pyridine is to be determined. We know from our chemistry classes that:

Kw = Kb * Ka

where Kw is always equal to 1x10^-14

so, to solve for Ka of Pyridium ion, substitute Kb to the equation together with Kw and solve for Ka:

1x10^-14 = 1.4x10^-9 * Ka
solve for Ka

Ka = 7.14x10^-6 

Therefore, the acid dissociation constant of Pyridinium ion is 7.14x10^-6.

a 6.7 volume of air, initially at 23 degrees celsius and .98 atm, is compressed to 2.7 L while heated to 125 degrees celsius. Wh
Annette [7]
Data:

V1 = 6.7 liter
T1 = 23° = 23 + 273.15 K = 300.15 K
P1 = 0.98 atm

V2 = 2.7 liter
T2 = 125° = 125 + 273.15 K = 398.15 K
P2 = ?

Formula:

Combined law of ideal gases: P1 V1 / T1 = P2 V2 / T2

=> P2 = P1 V1 T2 / (T1 V2)

P2 = 0.98 atm * 6.7 liter * 398.15 K / (300.15K * 2.7 liter)

P2 = 3.22 atm

If an automobile air bag has a volume of 11.7 L, what mass of NaN3 (in g) is required to fully inflate the air bag upon impact
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

33.95 grams of NaN3

Explanation:

Number of moles of NaN3 = mass (m)/MW = m/65 mole

I mole of NaN3 requires 22.4L air bag

m/65 mole of NaN3 required 11.7L

22.4m/65 = 11.7

22.4m = 65×11.7

22.4m = 760.5

m = 760.5/22.4 = 33.95grams of NaN3
