If you fill your car tire to a pressure of 32 psi (pounds per square inch) on a hot summer day when the temperature is 35°C (95°

F), what is the pressure (in psi) on a cold winter day when the temperature is -15°C (5°F)? Assume no gas leaks out between measurements and the volume of the tire does not change.

By Gay Lussacs law you can find the pressure. First both temperatures of Celsius must change to Kelvin by adding 273. Temperature one will be 308K and temperature 2 will be 258K
With this info, you can now find the pressure with Lussacs law

P1 = P2
— —
T1 T2

Pressure 1 is given which is 32 psi so just plug it all in and find P2

32 = x
—— ——
308 258

308x = 8256 (Cross multiply)

X = 26.8 (divide both sides by 308)

Answer is 26.8 PSI

This makes sense because as temperature increases pressure increases, as well as when temperature decreases, pressure decreases. Since it’s a colder day the pressure will be lower.

Calcium solid is placed in a solution of iron (III) chloride producing calcium chloride and iron solid
mestny [16]

Answer:

3Ca₍s₎ + 2FeCl₃ ------------------------------------------------------------->  3CaCl₂ + 2Fe₍s₎.

Explanation:

Iron(III) chloride is also known as Iron trichloride and it has the molar mass value of 162.2 g/mol and density of 2.9 g/cm³.

<em>The balanced equation for the chemical reaction between solid calcium and iron (III) chloride is given below as:  </em>

<em />

3Ca₍s₎ + 2FeCl₃ ------------------------------------------------------------->  3CaCl₂ + 2Fe₍s₎.

This kind of chemical reaction is known as <em>single displacement reaction or single replacement reaction. </em>

A scooter maintains a pace of 1.45 minutes per mile, with fuel economy of 85 miles per gallon. How many seconds can it travel on
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

281s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of the scooter  = 1.45min per mile

Fuel economy of engine  = 85miles per gallon

Quantity of fuel  = 145mL

Unknown:

Time of travel with the volume of fuel given  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to find the distance the fuel will last.

 Rate of fuel consumption by the engine  = 85miles per gallon

Convert 145mL to gallons;

                3785.41mL  = 1 gallon

               145mL will therefore give \frac{145}{3785.41}    = 0.038gallons

So;

   Distance covered  = 85miles per gallon  x 0.038gallons  = 3.23miles

From;

             Rate of travel  = \frac{time }{distance}  

       Time  = rate of travel x distance  = 1.45 minutes per mile x  3.23miles

     Time  = 4.7min

             1 min  = 60s

            4.7min  = 4.7 x 60 = 281s

Which of the following solutions would have the lowest freezing point?
Paul [167]

B. 3.0 mol·L⁻¹ NaCl

Explanation:

Freezing point is a colligative property: it depends only on the number of particles in solution.

The for freezing point depression ΔT_f is

ΔT_f = iK_fb

where

i = the number of moles of particles available from one mole of solute

K_f = the molal freezing point depression constant

b = the molal concentration of the solute

All your solutions are aqueous NaCl. They differ only in their concentrations.

Thus, the most concentrated solution will have the greatest freezing point depression and the lowest freezing point.

Can someone help me find the theoretical value of methane? It is chemistry
antiseptic1488 [7]

Methane is lighter than air, having a specific gravity of 0.554. It is only slightly soluble in water. It burns readily in air, forming carbon dioxide and water vapour; the flame is pale, slightly luminous, and very hot. The boiling point of methane is −162 °C (−259.6 °F) and the melting point is −182.5 °C (−296.5 °F). Methane in general is very stable, but mixtures of methane and air, with the methane content between 5 and 14 percent by volume, are explosive. Explosions of such mixtures have been frequent in coal mines and collieries and have been the cause of many mine disasters.
