Answer:

Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus...

A gas has a volume of 590 mL at temperature of -55.0 C. What volume will the gas occupy at 30.0 C show your work

DENIUS [597]

Data:
$V_{initial} = 590\:mL$
$T_{initial} = -55.0^0C$
converting to Kelvin
TK = TC + 273
TK = -55.0 + 273 → TK = 218.0 → $T_{initial} = 218.0\:K$
$V_{final} = ? (in\:milliliters)$
$T_{final} = 30.0^0C$
TK = TC + 273
TK = 30.0 + 273 → TK = 303.0 → $T_{final} = 303.0\:K$

By the first Law of Charles and Gay-Lussac, we have:
$\frac{ V_{i} }{ T_{i} } = \frac{ V_{f} }{ T_{f} }$

Solving:
$\frac{ V_{i} }{ T_{i} } = \frac{ V_{f} }{ T_{f} }$
$\frac{ 590 }{ 218.0 } = \frac{ V_{f} }{ 303.0 }$
Product of extremes equals product of means:
$218.0* V_{f} = 590*303.0$
$218.0 V_{f} = 178770$
$V_{f} = \frac{178770}{218.0}$
$\boxed{\boxed{V_{f} \approx 820.04\:mL}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

.0556 L

Explanation:

First, convert the 1.35 M to 1.35 mol/L in order for the units to correctly cancel out.

Then, multiply (0.0725 moles Na2CO3/1) times (L/ 1.35 mol).

Finally, the answer will be .0556 L.

Inorganic molecules are composed of other elements. They can contain hydrogen or carbon, but if they have both, they are organic.
