1) The densities of air at −85°C, 0°C, and 100°C are 1.877 g dm−3, 1.294 g dm−3, and 0.946 g dm−3, respectively. From these data
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1) The absolute zero temperature is -272.74 °C

2) The absolute zero temperature is -269.91°C

Explanation:

1) The specific volume of air at the given temperatures are;

At -85°C, v =  1/(1.877) = 0.533 dm³/g, the pressure =

At 0°C, v = 1/1.294 ≈ 0.773 dm³/g

At 100°C, v = 1/0.946 ≈ 1.057 dm³/g

We therefore have;

v₁ = 0.533 T₁ = 188.15  K

v₂ = 0.773 T₂ = 273.15  K

v₃ = 1.057 T₃ = 373.15  K

The slope of the graph formed by the above data is therefore given as follows;

m = (1.057 - 0.533)/(373.15 - 188.5) = 0.00284 dm³/K

The equation is therefor;

v - 0.533 = 0.00284×(T - 188.15)

v = 0.00284×T - 0.534 + 0.533  = 0.00284×T - 0.001167

v =  0.00284×T - 0.001167

Therefore, when the temperature, at absolute 0, we have;

v = 0

Which gives;

0 =  0.00284×T - 0.001167

0.00284×T = 0.001167

T = 0.001167/0.00284 ≈ 0.411 K

Which is 0.411  -273.15 ≈ -272.74 °C

The absolute zero temperature is -272.74 °C

2) The given volume of the gas = 20.00 dm³ at 0°C and 1.000 atm

The slope of the volume temperature graph at constant pressure = 0.0741 dm³/(°C)

The temperature is converted to Kelvin temperature, in order to apply Charles law as follows;

0°C = 0 + 273.15 K = 273.15 K

Therefore, the equation of the graph can be presented as follows;

v - 20.00 = 0.0741 × (T - 273.15)

Which gives;

v = 0.0741·T - 0.0741 ×(273.15) + 20

v = 0.0741·T - 20.2404125 + 20

v = 0.0741·T - 0.240415

Therefore at absolute 0, v = 0, we have;

0 = 0.0741·T - 0.240415

0.0741·T = 0.240415

T = 0.240415/0.0741 = 3.2445 K

The temperature in degrees is therefore;

3.2445 K - 273.15 ≈ -269.91°C

The absolute zero temperature is therefore, -269.91°C

Explain why is it better to use images on hazard labels, rather than words
enot [183]
In the case of an emergency where you might not have enough time to read several lines of writing, not to mention trying to find the hazard warnings when the whole bottle is probably covered in writing, it is much easier to locate and read universal hazard symbols.

In a process called photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water, along with energy from sunlight, to produce sugar and o
Alex Ar [27]

24 molecules of H2O are needed by the plant to produce 4 molecules of sugar.

<h2>What is photosynthesis?</h2>

The process by which plants convert carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight into oxygen and sugar-based energy is known as photosynthesis.

<h3>The photosynthesis equation is as follows:</h3>

                   6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2

The following three significant activities are involved in photosynthesis:

1. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy.

2. Water molecules are divided into hydrogen and oxygen and light energy is converted to chemical energy.

3. Carbon dioxide is converted to sugars.

         

Therefore, a plant needs four molecules of H2O and four molecules of CO2 to make one molecule of glucose or sugar, hence a plant needs 24 molecules of H2O and 24 molecules of CO2 to make four molecules of sugar.
