Answer: The new volume is 37.5L

Explanation:

The question is solved using the principle and formula of a gas law known as the Boyle's law. Boyle's law states that provided the temperature remains constant, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. Expressing the statement mathematically:

P ∝ 1/V, (where p is equal to pressure and V is volume)

Therefore PV = a constant

If a gas at pressure P1 and Volume V1 changes at constant temperature to pressure P2 and volume V2 then:

P1V1 = P2V2.

Using the formula to solve the question:

P1 = 4.5atm

P2 = 1.8atm

V1= 15L

V2 = ?

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2= 4.5 × 15 /1.8

V2 = 67.5/1.8

V2 = 37.5 L

Therefore the new volume is 37.5L

Answer:

37.5 L

Explanation:

Initial Volume, V1 = 15L

Initial Pressure P1 = 4.5 atm

Final Pressure, P2 = 1.8 atm

Final Volume V2 = ?

The relationship between these variables is given as;

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = PIV1 / P1

Inserting the values;

V2 = 4.5 * 15 / 1.8

V2 = 37.5 L

prisoha [69]
Three of the functions of proteins are as antibodies, as enzymes and as messengers. As antibodies, they protect the cells from diseases ie they fight diseases. As enzymes, they regulate the chemical reactions within cells, and thirdly they transmit signals as messengers such as hormones do in co-ordinating biological processes. Proteins are so diverse because of their unique 3-D structures which their polymers form from the 20 amino acids available as their building blocks.

As a real gas deviates from ideal gas behavior, the particles _____
Alik [6]

Answer:

Have some attraction towards each other

Explanation:

Gases deviate from the ideal gas behavior because their molecules have forces of attraction between them. At high pressure, the molecules of gases are very close to each other so the molecular interactions start operating and these molecules do not strike the walls of the container with full impact.

Hope this helps :-)
