Answer:

d. 60.8 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Heat absorbed (Q): 53.1 J
  • External pressure (P): 0.677 atm
  • Final volume (V2): 63.2 L
  • Change in the internal energy (ΔU): -108.3 J

Step 2: Calculate the work (W) done by the system

We will use the following expression.

ΔU = Q + W

W = ΔU - Q

W = -108.3 J - 53.1 J = -161.4 J

Step 3: Convert W to atm.L

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm.L = 101.325 J.

-161.4 J ×  1 atm.L/101.325 J = -1.593 atm.L

Step 4: Calculate the initial volume

First, we will use the following expression.

W = - P × ΔV

ΔV = - W / P

ΔV = - 1.593 atm.L / 0.677 atm = 2.35 L

The initial volume is:

V2 = V1 + ΔV

V1 = V2 - ΔV

V1 = 63.2 L - 2.35 L = 60.8 L

1,5,25,125 what’s the pattern rule and extend by 3 more numbers
nika2105 [10]

For the first one the pattern is multiply the previous number by five as you see 1 x 5 = 5 and so on. To keep adding to it you would do

125 x 5 = 625     625 x 5 = 3125    3125 x 5 = 15625

Now for the second one the pattern is divide the previous number by three as you can see 2187 / 3 = 729 and so on. To keep going you would

81 / 3 = 27       27 / 3 = 9        9 / 3 = 3

I hope this helps you and if you have anymore questions i'll be  glad to answer them.

What mass of zinc is needed to react with 23.1g of phosphoric acid according to the following equation?
Hunter-Best [27]

23.01 g of zinc (Zn)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

3 Zn + 2 H₃PO₄ = 3 H₂ + Zn₃(PO₄)₂

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of phosphoric acid = 23.1 / 98 = 0.236 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction, we devise the following reasoning:

if           2 moles of H₃PO₄ are reacting with 3 moles of Zn

then      0.236 moles of H₃PO₄ are reacting with X moles of Zn

X = (0.236 × 3) / 2 = 0.354 moles of Zn

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of Zn = 0.354 × 65 = 23.01 g

Elements in group 16 want to bond with elements in group ___.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Two

Explanation:

Elements in group 16 wants to bond with elements in group IIA, the group of alkaline earth metals.

  • The bonding will make it easier for them complete their octet.
  • Elements in group 16 has 6 valence electrons.
  • To have a complete octet, they require 2 more electrons.
  • Group II elements are willing donors as they are metals.
  • For Group II elements to fill their octets, they must lose two electrons.
  • So the willingness of group II elements to lose two electrons and the readiness for group 16 elements to gain the electrons makes the desire one another.

Why are units used that are to express the densities of gases different from those used to express the densities of solids or li
aksik [14]
If the units for gases were the same as the units for numbers would be too small to be convenient.

For example, the density of iron is 7.87 g/cm³.

Using the same units, the density of hydrogen is 0.000 0899 g/cm³.

It is much more convenient to express the density in numbers that are easier to visualize: 0.0899 g/L, and that is still a small number.
