Hi! Well the formula of kinetic energy is Ke = 0.5 x M x V^2
0.5 x 0.5 x 10^2
0.25 x 20
5 J (joule)
States that when a gas is held at a constant temperature and mass in a closed container, the volume and pressure vary inversely. The equation to use is P1V1=P2V2.
Given
V1=200mL×1L1000mL=0.2 L
P1=700 mmHg
V2=100mL×1L1000mL=0.1 L
Unknown
P2
Equation
P1V1=P2V2
Solution
Rearrange the equation to isolate P2 and solve.
P2=P1V1V2
P2=(700mmHg×0.2L)0.1L=1400 L, which must be rounded to 1000 L because all of the measurements have only one significant figure.

<h3>Explanation</h3>
Both the ammonium ion
and the sulfate ion
contain more than one atom in each ion. The two species are thus <em>polyatomic</em>. The chloride ion
, for example, is <em>monoatomic</em>.
Superscripts above formulae of the ions indicate their charge. Each ammonium ion carries a positive one (+1) charge. Each sulfate ion carries a charge of negative two (-2).
Ammonium sulfate is an ionic compound. A sample of this compound contain myriads of ammonium ions and sulfate ions. The ions are packed in three-dimensional lattices. Thus unlike water, ammonium sulfate does not exist as molecules in nature.
Assuming that the second and third blanks refers to a formula unit, rather than a molecule, of ammonium sulfate. The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate gives the minimum whole-number ratio between the two ions in a sample.
Charges shall balance between the two ions. Ammonium ions are of charge +1. Sulfate ions are of charge -2. The sample shall thus contain two ammonium ions for every one sulfate ion.
The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate is therefore
.
There are thus two ammonium ions
and one sulfate ion
in each formula unit of ammonium sulfate.
