Answer:

1425 mmHg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 1.5 L

Initial pressure (P1) = 1 atm

Final volume (V2) = 0.8 L

Final pressure (P2) =?

Next, we shall determine the final pressure of the gas by using the Boyle's law equation as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

1 × 1.5 = P2 × 0.8

1.5 = P2 × 0.8

Divide both side by 0.8

P2 = 1.5/0.8

P2 = 1.875 atm

Finally, we shall convert 1.875 atm to mmHg.

This can be obtained as follow:

1 atm = 760 mmHg

Therefore,

1.875 atm = 1.875 × 760 = 1425 mmHg.

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas is 1425 mmHg.

is there a relationship between the relative age of stars in the number/identity of element is found within them
lukranit [14]

Yes. Stars use fusion to create nuclear energy, which is what makes them "alive". The older they are, the "bigger" the element in them is. Hydrogen turns into Helium, and when hydrogen is used up, the helium starts fusing into bigger elements. it stops at iron however. Once stars start fusing silicon to iron, it is doomed because it takes more energy than it gives off.

g Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each are ____________ . The cis and trans isomers of a particular compound are ___
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Diasteriomers

Stereoisomers

Stereoisomers

Meso compounds

Constitutional isomers

Enantiomers

Enantiomers

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds that posses the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Constitutional isomers differ only in atom to atom connectivity while stereoisomers differ in arrangement of atoms in space. Stereo isomers differ in physical and chemical properties of the compounds.

When stereo isomers are non-superimpossible mirror images of each other, they are called enantiomers. Enantiomers have the same chemical and physical properties and differ only in their reaction with chiral substances.

Achiral compounds are compounds that do not exhibit chirality. Some achiral compounds contain stereogenic centers and are called meso compounds.

what is Calcite's Solubility, I barely know what solubility mean let alone what it has to do with Calcite.
Ivahew [28]

Calcite can be either dissolved by groundwater or precipitated by groundwater, depending on several factors including the water temperature, pH, and dissolved ion concentrations. Although calcite is fairly insoluble in cold water, acidity can cause dissolution of calcite and release of carbon dioxide gas.
