Chemistry

True [87]2 years ago

Antarctica or the south pole , which is mostly ice, is much colder than the arctic or the north pole, which is a mixture of ice and water. This is because the liquid water in the Arctic Ocean would absorb and release more heat which would keep the temperature in the region to fluctuate frequently. Also, the specific heat of ice is less than the specific heat of water which means that the temperature of ice would easily change. Another reason would be that  the Antarctica have stronger winds so it would absorb heat faster making the average temperature much colder that the Arctic ocean.

A gas is collected at 20.0 °C and 725.0 mm Hg. When the temperature is
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

676mmHg

Explanation:

Using the formula;

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (mmHg)

P2 = final pressure (mmHg)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P1 = 725.0mmHg

P2 = ?

T1 = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293K

T2 = 0°C = 0 + 273 = 273K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

725/293 = P2/273

Cross multiply

725 × 273 = 293 × P2

197925 = 293P2

P2 = 197925 ÷ 293

P2 = 676mmHg.

The resulting pressure is 676mmHg

How do you balance the equation in number one?
AleksAgata [21]
____NaNO3 + ___PbO --> ___Pb(NO3)2 + ___Na[2]O

To balace the eqaution, you need to have the same number of atoms for each element on both the reactant (left) and product (right) side. 

To start off, you wanna know the number of atoms in each element on both sides, so take it apart:

[reactants]        [product]
Na- 1               Na- 2

N- 1               N- 2(it's 2 because the the subscript [2] is outside of the parenthesis)

O- 4              O- 7 (same reason as above) 

Pb- 1            Pb- 1 

Na is not balanced out, so add a coefficient to make it the same on both sides.In this case, multiply by 2: 

2NaNO3

Now Na is balanced, but the N and O are also effected by this, so they also have to be multiplied by 2 and they become: 

Na- 2             Na- 2 

N- 2              N- 2 (it balanced out) 

O- 7 (coefficient times subscript, plus lone O)  O- 7 (balanced out) 

Pb was already balanced so no need to mess with it, just put a 1 where needed (it doesn't change anything). 

Now to put it back together, it will look like this: 

2NaNO3 + 1PbO --> 1Pb(NO3)2 + 1Na[2]O
