Answer:

 \frac{3}{2}

Explanation:

Given formula of Gypsum:

               CaSO₄. xH₂O,

       True formula:

              CaSO₄. 2H₂O,  x  = 2

Formula of plaster of paris  = CaSO₄. \frac{1}{2} H₂O,

               y  =  \frac{1}{2}

The difference between x and y; x - y:

               x  - y = 2 -  \frac{1}{2}  =  \frac{3}{2}

Prove that PV = nRT.​
qaws [65]

Find your answer in the explanation below.

Explanation:

PV = nRT is called the ideal gas equation and its a combination of 3 laws; Charles' law, Boyle's law and Avogadro's law.

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. i.e V = 1/P

From, Charles' law, we have that volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas at constant pressure. i.e V = T

Avogadro's law finally states that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. i.e V = n

Combining the 3 Laws together i.e equating volume in all 3 laws, we have

V = nT/P,

V = constant nT/P

(constant = general gas constant = R)

V = RnT/P

by bringing P to the LHS, we have,

PV = nRT.

What is the mass number of an atom with 17 protons, 17 electrons, and 20 neutrons?
astra-53 [7]
The mass number of this particular element is 37

An element with 17 protons will ALWAYS be chlorine.
The mass number is found by adding the element’s protons and neutrons.
protons+neutrons=mass number

Here is the math if needed,
17+20=37

Therefore the mass number is 37

I hope this helped!

In your own words, what do you think an atom is?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines achemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons. Each electron is negatively charged. The nucleus is positively charged, and contains one or more relatively heavy particles known as protons and neutrons.

What kind of speed occurs when an object covers equal distance in an equal amount of time?
KatRina [158]

Not 100% sure if its right.

When an object covers equal distances in equal amounts of time, it is moving at a constant speed.
