Answer:

Gases such as carbon dioxide diffuse much more slowly in water than in air. Plants that are fully submerged have greater difficulty obtaining the carbon dioxide they need. To help ameliorate this problem, underwater leaves lack a waxy coating because carbon dioxide is easier to absorb without this layer.

Answer

There is not as much sunlight underwater and therefore less energy can be absorbed therefore a slower process of photosynthesis.

The answers are as follows,

1. 4.71 L,

2. 3.29 L,

3. 1634.6 torr

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the above problems can be sorted out using the Boyle's law represents the relationship between the volume and pressure.

It can be expressed as follows,

P1V1 = P2V2

Rearranging the above expression, we get,

$$ V2 = \frac{P1V1}{V2}$

1) The first case can be solved as,

$$V 2=\frac{921 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg} \times 3.89 \mathrm{L}}{760 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}}=4.71 \mathrm{L}$

2) The second case can be solved as,

$$V 2=\frac{25 L \times 600 \text { torr}}{4560 \text { torr}}=3.29 L$

3) The third case can be solved as,

$$P 2=\frac{7.43 L \times 1100 \text { torr}}{5 L}=1634.6 \text { torr}$

Thus the answers for all the three cases are found as,

1. 4.71 L,

2. 3.29 L,

3. 1634.6 torr respectively

Which elements have the most similar chemical properties?

Mumz [18]

Answer: K and Na

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium have a chemical symbol of K and Na respectively.

They have similar chemical properties because both

- have only one valence electron,

- form univalent positive ion when they donate their lone outermost electron as shown below

Na --> Na+ + e-

K --> K+ + e-

- are good reducing agents

- react with cold water vigorously to liberate hydrogen gas and form alkalis, so they are known as alkali metals.

- K and Na are placed in Group 1 of the periodic table.

Thus, unlike the other pairs given, K and Na, have the most similar chemical properties

For each set of values, calculate the missing variable using the ideal gas law.

allsm [11]

Answer:

1. n = 0.174mol

2. T= 26.8K

3. P = 1.02atm

4. V = 126.88L

Explanation:

1. P= 2.61atm

V = 1.69L

T = 36.1 °C = 36.1 + 273= 309.1K

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

n =?

n = PV / RT = (2.61x1.69)/(0.082x309.1)

n = 0.174mol

2. P = 302 kPa = 302000Pa

101325Pa = 1atm

302000Pa = 302000/101325 = 2.98atm

V = 2382 mL = 2.382L

T =?

n = 3.23 mol

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

T= PV /nR = (2.98x2.382)/(3.23x0.082) = 26.8K

3. P =?

V = 0.0250 m³ = 25L

T = 288K

n = 1.08mol

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

P = nRT/V = (1.08x0.082x288)/25 = 1.02atm

4. P = 782 torr

760Torr = 1 atm

782 torr = 782/760 = 1.03atm

V =?

T = 303K

n = 5.26 mol

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

V = nRT/P

V = (5.26x0.082x303)/1.03 = 126.88L
