Answer: 52.17%

Explanation:

Number of matches in the box = 46

Number of matches that lit on the first strike = 22

Number of matches that did not light on the first strike = 46 - 22 = 24

Therefore, the percentage of the matches in the box did not light on the first strike will be:

= (Number of matches that did not light on the first strike / Number of matches in the box) × 100

= 24/46 × 100

= 52.17%

Therefore, the percentage of the matches in the box that did not light on the first strike is 52.17%.

If a balloon containing 3000 L of gas at 39 C and 99 k Pa rises to an altitude where the pressure is 45.5 kPa and the temperatur
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The new volume of the balloon will be 6046.28 L

Explanation:

Initial pressure (P1) = 99 kpa

initial volume (V1) = 3000 L

Initial temperature = 39 C = 39 + 273 = 312 K

Final pressure (P2) = 45.5 kpa

Final temperature = 16 C = 16 +273 = 289K

Final volume = ????

To calculate the final volume using the general gas equation

                  P1 V1 / T1  = P2 V2 / T2

make V2 the subject of the formular

                   V2 = 99000 ×3000× 289 / 45500×312

                   V2 = 85833000 /14196

                     V2 = 6046.28 litres
