Answer:

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely, at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.

4.3 moles of a gas are at a temperature of 28 degrees * C with a pressure of 1.631 atm. What volume does the gas occupy?

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

65.2L

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (Litres)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (Kelvin)

According to the information provided in this question,

P = 1.631 atm

V = ?

n = 4.3 moles

T = 28°C = 28 + 273 = 301K

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 4.3 × 0.0821 × 301 ÷ 1.631

V = 106.26 ÷ 1.631

V = 65.15

Volume of the gas = 65.2L

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The gas will occupy a volume of 1.702 liters.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the gas behaves ideally. The equation of state for ideal gas is:

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)
