A mole of any gas occupied 22.4 L at STP. So, the number of moles of nitrogen gas at STP in 846 L would be 846/22.4 = 37.8 moles of nitrogen gas.
Alternatively, you can go the long route and use the ideal gas law to solve for the number of moles of nitrogen given STP conditions (273 K and 1.00 atm). From PV = nRT, we can get n = PV/RT. Plugging in our values, and using 0.08206 L•atm/K•mol as our gas constant, R, we get n = (1.00)(846)/(0.08206)(273) = 37.8 moles, which confirms our answer.
It's a base because it increases the concentration of hydroxid ions
The simple equation used to calculate work is force multiplied by distance, thus as this is the case increasing the distance by a certain amount, assuming the force applied to the object is constant, the amount of work you are doing on the box for instance pushing it, is going to be greater
Since you are pushing the box with the same force covering a greater distance with the force.
