A sample of 4.0 L of nitrogen, at 1.2 atmospheres, is transferred to a 12 L container.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The pressure will be 0.4 atm.

Explanation:

The gas laws are a set of chemical and physical laws that allow determining the behavior of gases in a closed system. The parameters evaluated in these laws are pressure, volume, temperature and moles.

As the volume increases, the gas particles (atoms or molecules) take longer to reach the walls of the container and therefore collide with them less times per unit of time. This means that the pressure will be lower because it represents the frequency of collisions of the gas against the walls. In this way pressure and volume are related, determining Boyle's law which says:

"The volume occupied by a certain gaseous mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure"

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

P*V= k

If you initially have the gas at a volume V1 and press P1, when the conditions change to a volume V2 and pressure P2, the following is satisfied:

P1*V1= P2*V2

In this case:

P1= 1.2 atm
V1= 4 L
P2= ?
V2= 12 L

Replacing:

1.2 atm* 4 L= P2* 12 L

Solving:

$P2=\frac{1.2 atm*4 L}{12 L}$

P2= 0.4 atm

The pressure will be 0.4 atm.

If a bullet travels at 407.0 m/s, what is its speed in miles per hour? Number click to edit mi/h For the same bullet travelling

kaheart [24]

Answer : The speed in miles per hour is 22 mile/hr.

The speed in yard per min is 26617.8 yard/min

Explanation :

The conversion used for meters to miles is:

$1m=100cm\times \frac{1in}{2.54cm}\times \frac{1ft}{12in}\times \frac{1mile}{5280ft}$

The conversion used for second to hour is:

$1s=\frac{1}{60}min\times \frac{1hr}{60min}$

The conversion used for meter per second to mile per hour is:

$1\frac{m}{s}=\frac{100cm\times \frac{1in}{2.54cm}\times \frac{1ft}{12in}\times \frac{1mile}{5280ft}}{\frac{1}{60}min\times \frac{1hr}{60min}}$

As we are given the speed of 407.0 meter per second. Now we have to determine the speed in miles per hour.

$1m/s=2.2mile/hr$

So, $407.0m/s=\frac{2.2mile/hr}{1m/s}\times 407.0m/s=895.4mile/hr$

Therefore, the speed in miles per hour is 22 mile/hr.

The conversion used for meter to yard

1m = 1.09 yard

The conversion used for second to hour is:

$1s=\frac{1}{60}min$

The conversion used for meter per second to mile per hour is:

$1m/s=\frac{1.09yard}{frac{1}{60min}}$

$1m/s=65.4yard/min$

As we are given the speed of 407.0 meter per second. Now we have to determine the speed in yards per min

$1m/s=65.4yard/min$

So, $407.0m/s=\frac{65.4yard/min}{1m/s}\times 407.0m/s=26617.8yard/min$

Therefore, the speed in yard per min is 26617.8 yard/min

The process by which hot and cold air are transferred in the atmosphere is

Elan Coil [88]

Convection: the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

hope that helps :)
