Gain enough kinetic energy to get past each other. Ad you heat up a substance, the temperature increases as does the kinetic energy of the particles. At a point the temperature of the substance will stop increasing. The energy is now being used to increase the potential and move the particles further apart.

the pressure in a sealed plastic container is 108 kPa at 41 degrees Celsius. What is the pressure when the temperature drops to

Katarina [22]

<u>Answer:</u> The new pressure will be 101.46 kPa.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the new pressure, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume.

The equation given by this law is:

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }T_1$ are initial pressure and temperature.

$P_2\text{ and }T_2$ are final pressure and temperature.

We are given:

By using conversion factor: $T(K)=T(^oC)+273$

$P_1=108kPa\\T_1=41^oC=314K\\P_2=?kPa\\T_2=22^oC=295K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{108kPa}{314K}=\frac{P_2}{295K}\\\\P_2=101.46kPa$

Hence, the new pressure will be 101.46 kPa.

A chemist prepares a solution by dissolving 0.3 mole of CaCl2 in enough water to make 1000 mL of solution. What is the molar con

Rasek [7]

$CaCl_{2}$ dissolves in water to give $Ca^{2+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ions according to the following reaction:

$CaCl_{2}$ --------> $Ca^{2+}$ + 2 $Cl^{-}$

So, according to the above reaction, 1 mole of $CaCl_{2}$ produce 2 moles of $Cl^{-}$ ion,

So, 0.3 mole will give = 0.3 x 2 = 0.6 moles of $Cl^{-}$ ion

So, Molar concentration = $\frac{0.6moles}{1L} = 0.6$

Note: 1L = 1000mL
