The pressure on a sample of gas is increased from 1.0 atm to 3.0 atm. If the new volume is 0.52 L, find the original volume.
swat32

Answer: 1.56 ATM

Explanation: if we assume temperature is constant, gas obeys

Boyles law pV= constant. Then p1·V1= p2·V2. And V1 = p2V2/p1

= 3.0 atm·0,52 l / 1.0 atm

Consider the change given below. At constant pressure, is work done by the system on the surroundings? By the surroundings on th
alexira [117]

Answer : At constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Explanation :

Work done : Any quantity that flows across the boundary of a system during a change in its state and it completely convertible into the lifting of a weight in the surroundings.

Formula for work done is:

w=-p_{ext}dV

Sign convention :

  • When volume expand then system work that means work done by the system.

w = (-ve)

  • When volume compress then surrounding work that means work done on the system.

w = (+ve)

The given reaction is:

Hg(l)\rightarrow Hg(g)

This is a evaporation process in which phase changes from liquid state to gaseous state at constant temperature.

At constant pressure, work depends only on volume.

In evaporation process, the volume expand that means work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Sign convention is, w = (-ve)

Thus, at constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a) a0 was 46.2 grams

b) It will take 259 years

c) The fossil is 1845 years old

Explanation:

<em>An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?</em>

A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)

⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams

⇒ A0 = the original amount

⇒ t = time = 8 hours

⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours

46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)

Ao = 261.35 grams

<em>Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?</em>  

t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years

It will take 259 years

<em>A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?</em>

<em />

t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845

The fossil is 1845 years old
