Answer:

6.94 × 10⁴ J

Explanation:

We can calculate the work (W) associated with the compression of a gas at constant pressure using the following expression:

W = -P . ΔV

where,

P is the external pressure

ΔV is the change in the volume

Knowing that 1 atm.L = 101.325 J, the work of compression is:

W=-P\times \Delta V=-16.7atm\times(80.0L-121.0L)\times\frac{101.325J}{1atm.L} =6.94\times10^{4} J

The positive sign of the work means that the surroundings do work on the system.

In a chemical compound, would you expect an oxide ion to be joined with one atom of calcium or one atom of potassium? Why?
Soloha48 [4]

I know what you're asking but I don't think the question is stated properly. Technically, an atom will not join with an "oxide" ion; i.e., the oxide ion is an atom of oxygen to which two electrons have been added. An oxide ion will add to 2 K ions or 1 Ca ion. The K ion has lost just one electron so it takes two of them to equal the 2- charge on the oxide ion whereas the Ca ion has lost two electrons and it takes only one of them to equal the charge on the oxide ion.

What causes gas pressure
kaheart [24]

The kinetic energy causes the air molecules to move faster and they impact the container walls more frequently and with more force. The kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases, so collisions with the walls of the container are now more forceful than they were before. As a result, the pressure of the gas doubles.
