Answer:

Initial temperature, T1 = 15°C

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume, V1 = 250 mL to Liters = 250/1000 = 0.25 L

Final temperature, T2 = 30°C

Final volume, V2 = 0.5 L

To find the initial temperature T1, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

\frac {V}{T} = K

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Making T1 the subject of formula, we have;

T_{1}= \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} * T_{2}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

T_{1}= \frac{0.25}{0.5} * 30

T_{1}= 0.5 * 30

<em>Initial temperature, T1 = 15°C</em>

Describe the difference between gravitational force and strong nuclear force
arsen [322]

Gravitational force is much weaker, because it is the force of gravity, or the force that makes smaller objects be pulled towards a much bigger one with a certain amount of force.

Now strong nuclear force, which is very strong, keeps the atomic particles in an atom from separating, and the reason it is so powerful is because the particles in an atom repel each other and this force keeps them from doing .that

What is the empirical formula of a compound that is made of 3.80g of phosphorus and 0.371g of hydrogen?
lys-0071 [83]

You start by diving each quantity given by the atomic wight of each element:

Phosphorus (P)   \frac{3.8}{31} =0.123

Hydrogen (H)   \frac{0.371}{1} =0.371

Then you divide by the lowest number:

\frac{0.123}{0.123} = 1 for phosphorus

\frac{0.371}{0.123} = 3 for hydrogen

So the empirical formula will be:

Given the following values for the heats of formation, what is the number of moles of ethane (C2H6, MW 30.0) required to produce
baherus [9]

Answer:

0.641 moles of ethane

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

C2H6(g) + 7/2O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

We can determine ΔH of reaction using Hess's law. For this equation:

<em>Hess's law: ΔH products - ΔH reactants</em>

ΔH = {2ΔHCO2 + 3ΔHH2O} - {ΔHC2H6}

<em>Pure monoatomic substances have a ΔH = 0kJ/mol; ΔHO2 = 0kJ/mol</em>

<em />

ΔH = {2*-393.5kJ/mol + 3*-285.8kJ/mol} - {-84.7kJ/mol}

ΔH = -1559.7kJ/mol

That means when 1 mole of ethane is in combustion there are released 1559.7kJ of heat. To produce 1.00x10³kJ there are needed:

1.00x10³kJ * (1mole ethane / 1559.7kJ) =

<h3>0.641 moles of ethane</h3>

Why is water considered to be neutral?
deff fn [24]

Explanation:

Because it has a pH of 7, water is considered to be neutral. It is neither an acid nor a base but is the reference point for acids and bases.
