Georgia [21]3 years ago

5 0

Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.

at what temperature in celsius would a gas have volume of 13.5 L at a pressure of 0.723 atm, if it had a volume of 17.8 L at a p

Alex

Answer:

initial temperature= $-3.31^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Assuming that the given follows the ideal gas nature;

$P_1=0.723atm$

$V_1=13.5L$

$T_1=?$

$P_2=0.612atm$

$V_2=17.8L$

$T_2=28 ^{\circ}C =273+28K=301K$

mole of gass will remain same at any emperature:

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

putting all the value we get:

$T_2 =269.7K =-3.31 ^{\circ} C$

initial temperature= $-3.31^{\circ}C$
