1 pm = 10∧-10 cm
Therefore, 230 pm is equivalent to 2.3 ×10∧-8 cm.
Atom is in the shape of a sphere,
The volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Thus, volume of the atom = 4/3π( 2.3 ×10∧-8)³
                                          = 4/3 (3.142 ×12.167×10∧-24
                                           = 5.096 ×10∧-23 cm³
but 1m³= 1000000cm³
Therefore, the volume of the atom = 5.096 ×10∧-29 m³

Consider a gas in a container that can adjust its volume to maintain constant pressure. Suppose the gas is cooled. What happens
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The volume will also decrease.

Explanation:

This illustration clearly indicates Boyle's law.

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature, provided the pressure remains constant. Mathematically, it is represented as:

V & T

V = KT

K = V/T

V1/T1 = V2/T2 =... = Vn/Tn

Where:

T1 and T2 are the initial and final temperature respectively, measured in Kelvin.

V1 and V2 are the initial and final volume of the gas respectively.

From the illustration above, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature. This implies that as the temperature increases, the volume will also increase and as the temperature decreases, the volume also will decrease.

How many liters of fluorine gas, at standard temperature and pressure, will react with 23.5 grams of potassium metal? Show all o
Sladkaya [172]

Potassium 23.5g/39.0983g/mol = 0.601mol

The Ratio of reactants is 2 to 1 so (0.601mol)/2 = 0.3005mol

Therefore 0.3005mol of F2 is needed to find liters use

formula V = nRT/P (V)Volume = 22.41L

(T)Temperature = 273K or 0.0 Celsius

(P)Pressure = 1.0atm

<span>(R)value is always .08206 with atm n = 0.3005moles (273)(.08206)(0.3005)/1 = V V = 6.7319 Liters</span>

Ber [7]
We have seasons on earth because of the way the earth is tilt on its axis. at a certain time in the year, the sun's rays reach certain parts of the globe more than others.

some places have 4 seasons because they are in the northern hemisphere, which is in the sweet spot of the sun's rays that give us each season. other places only have 1 or 2 because they are not in the northern hemisphere.
