If the temperature of a gas is raised from 30°C to 60°C, what happens to the pressure?
1 answer:
<h3>Answer:</h3>
The pressure increases by 10% of the original pressure
Thus the new pressure is 1.1 times the original pressure.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>We are given;
- Initial temperature as 30°C, but K = °C + 273.15
- Thus, Initial temperature, T1 =303.15 K
- Final temperature, T2 is 333.15 K
We are required to state what happens to the pressure;
- We are going to base our arguments to Pressure law;
- According to pressure law, the pressure of a gas and its temperature are directly proportional at a constant volume
- That is; P α T
- Therefore, at varying pressure and temperature
Assuming the initial pressure, P1 is P
Rearranging the formula;
[tex]P2=\frac{P1T2}{T1}[/tex]
= 1.10 P
The new pressure becomes 1.10P
This means the pressure has increased by 10%
We can conclude that, the new pressure will be 1.1 times the original pressure.

The melting point of potassium =
Melting point of titanium =
Titanium has a stronger metallic bonding compared to potassium. Titanium being a transition metal has greater number of valence electrons (4 valence electrons) contributing to the valence electron sea compared to potassium which has only one valence electron. The atomic size of Titanium much lower than that of potassium, so the bonding between Titanium atoms is stronger than that of potassium. Hence, the melting point of Titanium is much higher than that of potassium.
A reaction is exothermic if Δ<em>H</em> (or in some textbooks) is negative:
- H₂ + Br → 2 HBr, ΔH < 0.
- CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O, ΔH < 0.
A reaction is endothermic if Δ<em>H</em> is positive:
- 2 NH₃ → N₂ + 3 H₂, ΔH > 0.
- 2 HCl → H₂ + Cl₂ ΔH > 0.
The enthalpy of a system is the sum of its internal energy. ΔH < 0 indicates that the reactants lose internal energy in the reaction. Energy conserves, and those internal energies must have converted to some other form of energy. They typically end up as thermal energy. The reaction will release heat since it is exothermic.
Similarly, ΔH > 0 indicates that the reactants gains internal energy in the reaction. Energy conserves. As a result, the reaction must have gained energy from its surroundings. The reaction will be endothermic since it absorbs heat.
