Capillary action is defined as the ability of a liquid to go up a narrow space without the help or opposition of external forces. One of the most important factors affecting capillary action is the intermolecular forces within a substance. The higher the IMF, the greater the capillary action. The H-bonding in water gives it greater IMF than acetone, so water has greater capillary action.

Mrs. Borunda has a sample of oxygen gas that occupies a volume of 600 L at 400 atm pressure. What will the pressure be if she in

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

P₂ = 300 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 600 L

Initial pressure, P₁ = 400 atm

We need to find the pressure if the volume is 800 L.

We know that the relation between pressure and volume is given by :

$P\propto \dfrac{1}{V}\\\\\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{600\times 400}{800}\\\\P_2=300\ atm$

So, the new pressure is equal to 300 atm.

Compare the rates of effusion for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases

Airida [17]

According to Grahams law the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of it's molecular weight. The rate of diffusion is the measure of rate at which two gases mix. From this law we can say that for the two gases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, the rate of effusion of carbon monoxide is greater than that of carbon dioxide, this is because carbon monoxide is lighter (28 g) compared to carbon dioxide (44 g).
