Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given Einstein's theory of relativity, we have that;

E= mc^2

m= mass of the substance

c= speed of light

For one gram of the substance,

E= 1 ×10^-3 × (3 × 10^8)^2

E = 9 × 10^13 J

For 8.7 g of matter;

E = 8.7 × 10^-3× (3 × 10^8)

E= 7.83 ×10^ 14 J

Why increasing the temperature of a gas would increase the volume of its container in gas law?
Zarrin [17]

When the amount of gas in a container is increased, the volume increases. Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

Please help me with this question
vampirchik [111]

Remember that

  • For being a bond covalent ∆E<1.8
  • For being a bond ionic ∆E>1.8

#1

  • ∆EN=0.5

Carbon is present so it's covalent

#2

  • OH bond is also covalent

#3

  • P-H will hardly form a bond

#4

  • Ionic bond

#5

  • Ionic bond
