1. Why is it necessary to equalize the pressure(i.e, have the water level the same in each tube) before taking a volume reading?

Answer:

If you contact water with a gas at a certain temperature and (partial) pressure, the concentration of the gas in the water will reach an equilibrium ('saturation') according to Henry's law.

Explanation:

This means: if you increase the pressure (e.g. by keeping the vial closed), the CO2 concentration will increase. So it simply depends what concentration you need for your assay: 'CO2-saturated' water at low pressure or 'CO2-saturated' water at high pressure.

What is Cd2+ and F1- together as a formula

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

i am not sure tho

Explanation:

Cd ²+ + F¹- = CdF2

F fluor is a non metal so he takes the electons that Cd gives so if Vd has to give 2 electrons and F can take only 1, there has to be 2 F atoms so all the electrona can be neutral and in ionisation

25 L of a gas is collected at 115 kPa. If the pressure increases to 300 kPa, what is the new volume?

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

V2 = 9.58 Litres.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 25 L

Initial pressure = 115 kPa

Final pressure = 300 kPa

To find the new volume V2, we would use Boyles' law.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$
