For many purposes we can treat propane (CH) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of - 42°C. Suppose the tempe

rature of a sample of propane gas is lowered from 25.0°C to - 22.0 °C, and at the same time the pressure is changed. If the initial pressure was 0.58 kPa and the volume decreased by 40.0%, what is the final pressure?

Answer: The final pressure is 0.81 kPa

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 0.58 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = v

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = $v-\frac{40}{100}\times v=0.6v$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $25^0C=(25+273)K=298K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $-22^0C=(-22+273)K=251K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{0.58\times v}{298}=\frac{P_2\times 0.6v}{251}$

$P_2=0.81kPa$

The final pressure is 0.81 kPa

Answer:

They need to use energy from other tress to survive so that they can do basic functions, like absorbing nutrients from the ground, and growing back leaves. They don't have chlorophyll, so they need that energy to do the functions I mentioned above.

The thin outer layer of Earth, called the crust, contains only 0.50 percent of Earth's total mass and yet is the source of almos

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is $7.2729\times 10^{21} kg$ .

Explanation:

Mass of Earth = $5.9\times 10^{21} tons$

(1 ton= 2000 lb)

(1 lb =453.6 g)

1 ton = 2000 × 453.6 g =907,200 g

Mass of Earth = $5.9\times 10^{21}\times 907,200 g=5.3524\times 10^{27} g$

Percentage of earth crust = 0.50%

Mass of earth crust = M

$0.50\%=\frac{M}{5.3524\times 10^{27}}\times 100$

$M=2.6762\times 10^{25} g$

Percentage of the silicon in Earth's crust = 27.2 %

Mass of silicon in in Earth's crust = m

$Si\%=\frac{m}{M}\times 100$

$27.2\%=\frac{m}{2.6762\times 10^{25} g}\times 100$

$m = 7.2792\times 10^{24} g=7.2729\times 10^{21} kg$

1000 g = 1 kg

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is $7.2729\times 10^{21} kg$ .

Identify and label the Brønsted-Lowry acid, its conjugate base, the Brønsted-Lowry base, and its conjugate acid in each of the f

julia-pushkina [17]

Explanation:

As per Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, chemical species which donate proton are called Brønsted-Lowry acids.

The chemical species which accept proton are called Brønsted-Lowry base.

(a) $HNO_3 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_3^-$

$HNO_3$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $NO_3^-$ is its conjugate base.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry base and $H_3O^+$ is its conjugate acid.

(b)

$CN^- + H_2O \rightarrow HCN + OH^-$

$CN^-$ is Bronsted lowry base and HCN is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $OH^-$ is its conjugate base.

(c)

$H_2SO_4 + Cl^- \rightarrow HCl + HSO_4^-$

$H_2SO_4$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $HSO_4^-$ is its conjugate base.

Cl^- is Bronsted lowry base and HCl is its conjugate acid.

(d)

$HSO_4^-+OH^- \rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+H_2O$

$HSO_4^-$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $SO_4^{2-}$ is its conjugate base.

OH^- is Bronsted lowry base and $H_2O$ is its conjugate acid.

(e)

$O_{2-}+H_2O \rightarrow 2OH^-$

$O_{2-}$ is Bronsted lowry base and OH- is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and OH- is its conjugate base.

In which of these diatomic molecules would you NOT find an octet of electrons

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The hydrogen molecule is the only one in which can not find an octet of electrons around each atom.

Explanation:

Let's evaluate each case.

1. Nitrogen (N₂):

With Z = 7, nitrogen has the following electronic configuration

1s²

2s² 2p³ → valence electrons

Since its valence electrons are 5, in the molecule one nitrogen atom shares 3 electrons with the other one, and each remains with an electron pair, so <u>each atom has an octet of electrons.</u>

2. Hydrogen (H₂):

With Z = 1, its electronic configuration is:

1s¹ → valence electron

In the molecule, the hydrogen atoms share the only electron they have, so they will have only 2 electrons around. In this diatomic molecule, <em><u>we can not find an octet.</u></em>

3. Oxygen (O₂):

Z = 8. Electronic configuration:

1s²

2s² 2p⁴ → valence electrons

In the diatomic molecule, each oxygen atom shares 2 electrons with the other one and remains with 2 pairs of electrons, therefore, <u>each oxygen atom has an octet</u>.

4. Fluorine (F₂)

Z = 9. Electronic configuration:

1s²

2s² 2p⁵ → valence electrons

In this molecule, each fluorine atom shares 1 electron with the other and remains with 3 pairs of electrons, hence, <u>each fluorine atom has an octet of electrons around</u>.

Finally, we can say that the hydrogen molecule is the only one in which can not find an octet of electrons around each atom.

I hope it helps you!
