<span>A SI base unit is the single and direct measurement unit for a physical entity. E.g. For mass it is kg, for time it is sec, A derived unit is determined by a physical equation with the base units, like for velocity equals distance divided by time, in SI units: unit of v (velocity)= m (meter) divided by sec (seconds).

Hope this helps!</span>

A cylinder with a moving piston expands from an initial volume of 0.350 L against an external pressure of 1.90 atm. The expansio

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

1.84 L

Explanation:

Using the equation for reversible work:

$W = -P*(V_{2} - V_{1})$

Where:

W is the work done (J) = -287 J.

Since the gas did work, therefore W is negative.

P is the pressure in atm = 1.90 atm.

However, work done is in joules and pressure is in atm. We can use the values of universal gas constant as a convenient conversion unit. R = 8.314 J/(mol*K); R = 0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol*K)

Therefore, the conversion unit is 0.0821/8.314 = 0.00987 (L*atm)/J

$V_{1}$ is the initial volume = 0.350 L

$V_{2}$ is the final volume = ?

Thus:

(-287 J)*0.00987 (L*atm)/J = -1.9 atm*( $V_{2}$ - 0.350) L

$V_{2}$ = [(287*0.00987)+(1.9*0.350)]/1.9 = (2.833+0.665)/1.9 =1.84 L

How many moles are there in 3.612 x 1024 formula units of Na2SO4?

vitfil [10]

Answer:

<h3>Theanswer is 6 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L} \\$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

$n = \frac{3.612 \times {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 moles</h3>
