The most probable answer is: (a) <span>The black pot emits heat at a faster rate than the silver pot. It means the black pot conducts heat at a higher rate than the silver pot, that's why it cooled off faster. It also means that the silver pot retains heat better and is more of an insulator.</span>
<span>Use the Ideal law Equation :
P.V= n.R.T
V = 0.5 L
P = 1.0 atm
</span><span>R= 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K
</span>
<span>n = R*T/P*V
</span><span>P*V= n*R*T
</span>
1.0 * 0.5 = n *<span>0.0821*298
0,5 = n* 24.4658
n = 0,5 / 24.4658
n =0.0204 moles
