Answer:- work = 319 J

Solution:- The volume of the gas decreases from 5.35 L to 1.55 L.

\Delta V=1.55L-5.35L  = -3.80 L

external pressure is given as 0.829 atm.

w=-P_e_x_t\Delta V

where w is representing work.

Let's plug in the values and calculate pressure-volume work:

w=-0.829atm(-3.80L)

w = 3.15 atm.L

We need to convert atm.L to J.

1 atm.L = 101.325 J

So, 3.15atm.L(\frac{101.325J}{1atm.L})

= 319 J

So, 319 J of work is involved in a chemical reaction. Positive work means the work is done on the system.

If the abundance of ​ 85​ Rb is 72.2% and the abundance of 87​ Rb is 27.8%, what is the average atomic mass of rubidium?
Kisachek [45]

The average atomic mass of Rubidium : 85.556 u

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers

Each isotope has an abundance which is usually expressed as a percentage

The average relative mass of atoms is obtained by adding the product of the percentage and mass of each isotope

Can be formulated:

\tt Average~Mass~atom~X=mass~isotope~ 1\times \%1+mass~isotope~2\times \%2+..

The abundance of ​ 85​ Rb is 72.2% and the abundance of 87​ Rb is 27.8%, so

mass isotope 1=85, %abundance=72.2

mass isotope 2=87, %abundance=27.8

The averages atomic mass of Rubidium :

\tt average~atomic~mass=85\times 0.722+87\times 0.278\\\\average~atomic~mass=61.37+24.186\\\\average~atomic~mass=\boxed{\bold{85.556~u}}

A change in which property of light will have no effect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs??? Frequently energy i
slavikrds [6]
Intensity has no affect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs.  The determining property is frequency and since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, wavelength matters as well.  If a frequency of light can't cause the photoelectric effect to happen, no matter what the intensity is, the light can't make it happen.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
