What happens when the pressure of a gas is decreased?

Chemistry

Answer:

The combined gas law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely related to the volume and directly related to the temperature. If temperature is held constant, the equation is reduced to Boyle's law. Therefore, if you decrease the pressure of a fixed amount of gas, its volume will increase.

What is the concentration (in M) of a 225ml potassium sulfate solution that contains 4.15g of potassium?

mars1129 [50]

The concentration of solution in M or mol/L can be calculated using the following formula:

$C=\frac{n}{V}$ .... (1)

Here, n is number of moles and V is volume of solution in L.

The molecular formula of potassium sulfate is $K_{2}SO_{4}$ thus, there are 2 moles of potassium in 1 mol of potassium sulfate.

1 mol of potassium will be there in 0.5 mol of potassium sulfate.

Mass of potassium is 4.15 g, molar mass is 39.1 g/mol.

Number of moles can be calculated as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass

Putting the values,

$n=\frac{(4.15 g}{(39.1 g/mol}=0.1061 mol$

Thus, number of moles of $K_{2}SO_{4}$ will be $0.1061\times 0.5=0.053 mol$ .

The volume of solution is 225 mL, converting this into L,

$1 mL=10^{-3}L$

Thus,

$225 mL=0.225 L$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$C=\frac{(0.053 mol}{0.225 L}=0.236 M$

Therefore, concentration of potassium sulfate solution is 0.236 M.

A container is filled with helium gas. It has a volume of 2.25 liters and contains 9.00 moles of helium. How many moles of heliu

Darina [25.2K]

Answer: There are 7.4 moles of helium gas present in a 1.85 liter container at the same temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 2.25 L, $n_{1}$ = 9.0 mol

$V_{2}$ = 1.85 L, $n_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate the moles of helium are as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{n_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{n_{2}}\\$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{n_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{n_{2}}\\\frac{2.25 L}{9.0 mol} = \frac{1.85 L}{n_{2}}\\n_{2} = \frac{1.85 L \times 9.0 mol}{2.25 L}\\= 7.4 mol$

Thus, we can conclude that there are 7.4 moles of helium gas present in a 1.85 liter container at the same temperature and pressure.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a baseball (mass = 5.25 oz) with a velocity of 1.0 x 10^2 mi/h

pychu [463]

Answer:

262.5 Joules

Explanation:

You find the kinetic energy of multiplying half of the mass by the velocity. In this word problem it tells you the mass so you divide it by 2. That answer is 2.625, you then multiply that by the velocity, in this instance it's 1.0 x 10^2 mi/h.

The unit in kinetic energy is Joules. This is actually a really important part in chemistry and physics.

Where is the mass of an atom found

Virty [35]

Answer:

The mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.

Explanation:

An atom is made of three different particles: protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) each have a mass of 1 AMU. They are both found in the nucleus (centre) of the atom.

Electrons (negative charge) are considered to have a mass of 0. Their mass is not actually 0, but very close so we do not count them. They are not in the nucleus, but found in shells surrounding the atom.

To calculate the mass of an atom, we add the number of protons and the number of electrons.

m = P + N
