Answer:

Option c. 1 atm

Explanation:

We can do this exercise in two ways.

1. using the ideal gas equation which is PV = nRT

2. Using boyle's law.

Now, with the first option, would be longer, because we will need to calculate the number of moles present in the first container, and then, replace it in the second container to calculate P.

However, in this case, is easier to use Boyle's law.

Boyle's law is a relation concerning the compression and expansion of a gas at constant temperature.

In this case, we can see that the gas, is being expanded to a major volume, but temperature is constant (same 25 °C), therefore, we can use the following expression to calculate the new pressure:

P1*V1 = P2*V2

Now, let's replace the data provided in this expression, and solve for P2:

P2 = P1*V1 / V2

P2 = 2 * 1.5 / 3

P2 = 3 / 3

P2 = 1 atm

This would be the new pressure of the gas at constant temperature

To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

P1V1 =P2V2

P2 = P1 x V1 / V2

P2 = 2.0 x 1.5 / 3

The answer would be option B "I believe there is life on other planets." Scientific statements have a possibility to be wrong. It's not option A because option A is a opinion. It's not option C because option C is a fact. It's not option D because option D is a opinion.

Hope this helps!

The three naturally occurring isotopes of potassium are 39K, 38.963707u; 40K, 39.963999u; and 41K.The percent natural abundances
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The isotopic mass of 41K is 40.9574 amu

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The isotopes are:  

39K with an isotopic mass of 38.963707u and natural abundance of 93.2581%

40K with an isotopic mass of 39.963999u

41K wit natural abundance of 6.7302 %

Average atomic mass =39.098 amu  

Step 2: Calculate natural abundance of 40 K

100 % - 93.2581 % - 6.7302 %

100 % = 0.0117 %

Step 3: Calculate isotopic mass of 41K

39.098 = 38.963707 * 0.932581 + 39.963999 * 0.000117 + X * 0.067302

39.098 = 36.33681 + 0.0046758 +  X * 2.067302

X = 40.9574 amu

The isotopic mass of 41K is 40.9574 amu
