On a recent trip to the Fort Worth Zoo, Trevor's parents bought him a helium-filled balloon. At the beginning of the day, the sk

y was sunny and clear. The balloon was filled with 14.2 L of helium at a pressure of 102.5 kPa. The temperature was 33 °C. After a while, a storm came up, and a drop in barometric pressure and temperature reduced the pressure of the helium to 100.9 kPa and the temperature to 24 °C. What was the new volume of the balloon if there was a change? ______ Did the volume increase or decrease? _____

Answer:

1. The new volume is 14L

2. The volume decreased

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial Volume (V1) = 14.2 L

Initial pressure (P1) = 102.5 kPa

Initial temperature (T1) = 33°C

Final pressure (P2) = 100.9 kPa

Final temperature (T2) = 24°C.

Final volume (V2) =?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This is illustrated below:

K = °C + 273

T1 = 33°C = 33°C + 273 = 306K

T2 = 24°C = 24°C + 273 = 297K

Step 3:

Determination of the new volume.

Applying the general gas equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, the new volume can be obtain as follow:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

102.5 x 14.2/306 = 100.9 x V2/297

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

306 x 100.9 x V2 = 102.5 x14.2 x297

Divide both side by 306 x 100.9

V2 = (102.5x14.2x297)/(306 x 100.9)

V2 = 14 L

The new volume is 14 L.

Step 4:

Determination of the change in volume. This is illustrated below

Final volume (V2) = 14 L

Initial volume (V1) = 14.2 L

Change in volume (ΔV) =?

Change in volume (ΔV) = Final volume (V2) - Initial volume (V1)

ΔV = V2 - V1

ΔV = 14 - 14.2

ΔV = - 0.2L

Since the change in volume is negative, it means there is a decrease in the volume.

Answer:

The volume decreased to 14.0 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the balloon 14.2 L

Pressure = 102.5 kPa = 1.0115963 atm

Temperature = 33 °C = 306 K

The pressure reduced to 100.9 kPa = 0.99580558

Temperature reduced = 24.0 °C = 297 K

Step 2: Calculate the new volume

(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2

⇒with P1 is the initial pressure = 102.5 kPa

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of the balloon = 14.2 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 306 K

⇒with P2 = the reduced pressure = 100.9 kPa

⇒with V2 = the final volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with T2 = the reduced temperature = 297 K

(102.5 kPa * 14.2 L) . 306 K  = (100.9 kPa * V2) / 297 K

4.7565 = (100.9 *V2) / 297 K

1412.68 = 100.9 * V2

V2 = 14.00 L

The volume decreased to 14.0 L

Which of the following atoms is likely to transfer (and lose) an electron when it forms an ion? Please choose the correct answer
mestny [16]

Answer:

An atom containing 11 electrons

Explanation:

Metal atoms form ions by a loss of electrons whereas non-metal atoms form ions by the gain of electrons.

The group 1 elements or alkali metals form lose their one valence shell electrons when forming ions; Group 2 metals lose two while Group 3 lose three. On the other hand, non-metal atoms found in Group 5, 6, and 7 forms ions by gaining one, two and three electrons respectively.

Using the electronic configuration of atoms, their groups in the Periodic Table can be determined.

An atom containing 6 electrons has the configuration 2,4 and thus belongs to Group 4.

An atom with 2 electrons belongs to Group 2

An atom with 11 electrons has the configuration 2,8,1 and thus belongs to Group 1

An atom with 10 electrons has the configuration 2,8 and thus belongs to Group 8

An atom with 8 electrons has the configuration 2,6 and thus belongs to Group 6.

From the above, it can be seen that an atom containing 11 electrons belongs to Group 1 and will lose an electron to form an ion.

What are the differences between cholesterol and ergosterole?​
Marat540 [252]
The difference between ergosterol and cholesterol is much more obvious in their interactions with POPC and DOPC. Whereas cholesterol induces a strong condensing effect that thickens both POPC and DOPC bilayers, ergosterol shows no condensing effect in POPC and DOPC at all.

At 300.0 K and 0.987 atm pressure, what will be the volume of 2.30 mol of Ne?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

V = 57.39 L

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature, T = 300 K

Pressure, P = 0.987 atm

No. of moles of Ne, n = 2.30 mol

We need to find the volume of Ne. We know that, the ideal gas law is as follows :

PV = nRT

Where

P is pressure and R is gas constant

V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{2.3\times 0.0821\times 300}{0.987 }\\\\V=57.39\ L

So, the volume of the Ne is 57.39 L.

How much energy does an X-ray with an 8 nm (8 x 10-9 m) wavelength have?
Vlada [557]

Answer: 2.48×10^-17 J

Explanation:

Given the following :

Wavelength = 8nm (8 x 10^-9 m)

Energy(e) of X-ray =?

Energy=[speed of light(c) × planck's constant (h)] ÷ wavelength

Speed of light = 3×10^8m/s

Planck's constant = 6.626×10^-34 Js

Wavelength = 8 x 10^-9 m

Energy = [(3×10^8) * (6.626×10^-34)] / 8 x 10^-9

Energy = [19.878×10^(8-34)] / 8 x 10^-9

Energy = 2.48475 × 10^(-26+9)

Energy = 2.48×10^-17 J

The pK1, pK2, and pKR of the amino acid lysine are 2.2, 9.1, and 10.5, respectively. The pK1, pK2, and pKR of the amino acid arg
almond37 [142]

Answer:

pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation

Explanation:

Ion exchange chromatography is a chemical process where molecules are separated by affinity to an ion exchange resin. To separate different aminoacids you must use the isoelectric point (That is the pH where the aminoacid will be in its neutral form).

For lysine, PI is:

pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,1+10,5) = 9,8

For arginine:

pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,0+12,5) = 10,75

At pH = 9,8 lysine will be in its neutral form and will not be retain in the column but arginine will be in +1 charge being retained by the ion exchange resin.

Thus, <em>pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
