Answer: 16g/mol; O2

Explanation:

The gas has a volume of 2.5L at STP, so the number of moles can be determined as follows.

n=2.5L×1mol/22.4L=0.1116mol

The mass is given to be 3.571g. The molar mass of the unknown gas can be determined by dividing grams by moles.

3.571g/0.1116mol=32.00g/mol

The gas is a homonuclear diatomic gas, so the gas must contain two atoms with a molar mass of 32g/mol/2=16g/mol. This is the molar mass of the element oxygen, so the gas is diatomic oxygen, O2.

In thermodynamics<span>, </span>work<span> performed by a system is the energy transferred by the system to its surroundings. It can be calculated by the expression:
</span>
W = PdV

Integrating,

We will have,

W = P(V2 - V1)
133.7 (1 litre-atm / 101.325 Joule) ( <span>760 Torr / atm ) </span>= 783 (V2 - .0737 )
V2 = 1.35 L

Hope this answers the question.  Have a nice day.

In a Dam, If we doubled the depth of the dam the hydrostatic force will be ?
AnnZ [28]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Force acting on a dam is as follows.

                  F = \frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega H^{2} .......... (1)

Now, when we double the depth then it means H is increasing 2 times and then the above relation will be as follows.

                F' = \frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega (2)^{2}

               F' = \frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega 4 ........... (2)

Now, dividing equation (1) by equation (2) as follows.

          \frac{F}{F'} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega H^{2}}{\frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega 4}  

Cancelling the common terms we get the following.

                 \frac{F}{F'} = \frac{1}{4}    

                   4F = F'

Thus, we can conclude that if doubled the depth of the dam the hydrostatic force will be 4F.

When two atoms are bonded and have a large difference in electronegativity:<br> HELP PLEASEEE
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Second option - The bond is very polar

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an basically refers to the degree at which an electron is able to attract electrons to itself.

There are different types of bonds between atoms, depending on the electronegativity of the atoms.

When there is a large difference in electronegativity, it pretty much means that one atom would draw electrons more than the other. When this happens, the bond is said to be polar because there is uneven distribution of the charges.

The second option is the correct answer in thus question.
