In explanation, chemical property is a
characteristic of a certain substance came from an outcome due to chemical change
or reaction. In the situation above, more specifically toxicity is involved in
the chemical property/change. Hence, when the object is tested for
decomposition. Like for an example of decomposition simply in metals, rusting. Rusting
a process of degeneration of metals. Here it works the same. Toxicity is how
much damage did a certain entity do to the object. </span>
The gas is in a rigid container: this means that its volume remains constant. Therefore, we can use Gay-Lussac law, which states that for a gas at constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. The law can be written as follows:

Where P1=5 atm is the initial pressure, T1=254.5 K is the initial temperature, P2 is the new pressure and T2=101.8 K is the new temperature. Re-arranging the equation and using the data of the problem, we can find P2:

So, the new pressure is 2 atm.
The centripetal acceleration a is 4.32
10^-4 m/s^2.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The speed is constant and computing the speed from the distance and time for one full lap.
Given, distance = 400 mm = 0.4 m, Time = 100 s.
Computing the v = 0.4 m / 100 s
v = 4
10^-3 m/s.
radius of the circular end r = 37 mm = 0.037 m.
centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / r
= (4
10^-3)^2 / 0.037
a = 4.32
10^-4 m/s^2.
