Answer:

The Celsius scale is currently defined by two different temperatures: absolute zero and the triple point of Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW; specially purified water). Based on this, the relationship between Celsius and Kelvin is as follows: TCelsius=TKelvin−273.15 T Celsius = T Kelvin − 273.15 .

Which of the following ions is a polyatomic ion?
nlexa [21]
Among the choices, the polyatomic ion is only the third choice, NH4+ where it is composed of nitrogen one atom of nitrogen and 4 atoms of hydrogen. Choice 2 is a monoatomic atom being composed only of calcium. Then, the first and fourth choices are not ions because they are not charged.

Please show all of your work! :)
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to use Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}= \frac{P_2}{T_2} , where P is pressure and T is temperature

The initial pressure we're given is 4.5 atm (so P1 = 4.5) and the temperature is 45.0°C; however, we need to change Celsius to Kelvins, so add 273 to 45.0: 45.0 + 273 = 318 K (so T1 = 318).

The final pressure is what we want to find, but we do know the final temperature is 3.1°C. Converting this to Kelvins, we get: 3.1 + 273 = 276.1 K, which means T2 = 276.1.

Plug these values in:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}= \frac{P_2}{T_2}

\frac{4.5}{318}= \frac{P_2}{276.1}

Multiply both sides by 276.1:

P_2 ≈ 3.9 atm

The answer is thus A.

Three separate 3.5g blocks of al, cu, and fe at 25°c each absorb 0.505 kj of heat. which block reaches the highest temperature?
77julia77 [94]

The energy can be shown as:

Q = ms dT

Whereas, m is the mass of block

s is specific heat

dT is change in temperature.

Copper block having the lowest specific heat and thus having the higher change in temperature and therefore having the higher final temperature.

In order to derive a simplified version of the Nernst equation by assuming standard temperature we can substitute which of the f
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

c. 298 K

Explanation:

Nernst equation is an equation used in electrochemistry that relates the reduction potential of a reaction with the standard potential, temperature and concentrations of the reactants in that are been reducted and oxidized. The formula is:

E = E° - RT / nF ln [Red] / [Ox]

<em>Where R is gas constant (8.314J/molK), T is absolute temperature (In Kelvin), n are moles of electrons and F is faraday constant (K/Volt*mol)</em>

<em />

In electrochemistry, standard temperature is taken as 298K. That means by assuming standard temperature we can substitute T as:
