In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased, what happens to the temperature if pressure remains constant?
Flura [38]

The correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V2 / T2</span>

 <span>Assume the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2</span>

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V1 /2 T2</span>

 <span>Cancelling terms,</span>

 <span>1/T1 = 1/2 T2</span>

T2 = T1/2

 <span>Thus, the temperature decreased.</span>

which statement best describes the equation caco3 2hcl → cacl2 co2 h2o? caco3 is a reactant; it is present before the reaction o
fomenos

Answer: CaCO_3 is a reactant; it is present before the reaction occurs.

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction the chemical formulas written before the arrow are described as reactants as they react together to form products which are written after the arrow.

CaCO_3 + 2HCl \rightarrow CaCl_2 + CO_2 + H_2O

Thus CaCO_3 and HCl are reactants here whereas CO_2, CaCl_2 and H_2O are products.

How fast is the speed of light?
Tpy6a [65]

The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum.
It's somewhat slower in any material substance, and different in
each substance.

(That's 186,282.4  miles per second.)

Two solutions namely, 500 ml of 0.50 m hcl and 500 ml of 0.50 m naoh at the same temperature of 21.6 are mixed in a constant-pre
weeeeeb [17]

24.6 ℃

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide reacts by the following equation:

\text{HCl} \; (aq) + \text{NaOH} \; (aq) \to \text{NaCl} \; (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} \; (aq)

which is equivalent to

\text{H}^{+} \; (aq) + \text{OH}^{-} \; (aq) \to \text{H}_2\text{O}\; (l)

The question states that the second equation has an enthalpy, or "heat", of neutralization of -56.2 \; \text{kJ}. Thus the combination of every mole of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in solution would produce 56.2 \; \text{kJ} or 56.2 \times 10^{3}\; \text{J} of energy.

500 milliliter of a 0.50 mol per liter "M" solution contains 0.25 moles of the solute. There are thus 0.25 moles of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in the two 0.500 milliliter solutions, respectively. They would combine to release 0.25 \times 56.2 \times 10^{3} = 1.405 \times 10^{4} \; \text{J} of energy.

Both the solution and the calorimeter absorb energy released in this neutralization reaction. Their temperature change is dependent on the heat capacity <em>C</em> of the two objects, combined.

The question has given the heat capacity of the calorimeter directly.

The heat capacity (the one without mass in the unit) of water is to be calculated from its mass and <em>specific</em> heat.

The calorimeter contains 1.00 liters or 1.00 \times 10^{3} \; \text{ml} of the 1.0 gram per milliliter solution. Accordingly, it would have a mass of 1.00 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g}.

The solution has a specific heat of 4.184 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}. The solution thus have a heat capacity of 4.184 \times 1.00 \times 10^{3} = 4.184 \times 10^{3} \; \text{J} \cdot\text{K}^{-1}. Note that one degree Kelvins K is equivalent to one degree celsius ℃ in temperature change measurements.

The calorimeter-solution system thus has a heat capacity of 4.634 \times 10^{3} \; \text{J} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}, meaning that its temperature would rise by 1 degree celsius on the absorption of 4.634 × 10³ joules of energy. 1.405 \times 10^{4} \; \text{J} are available from the reaction. Thus, the temperature of the system shall have risen by 3.03 degrees celsius to 24.6 degrees celsius by the end of the reaction.
