Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A carbohydrate is formed from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These three elements are combined in every carbohydrate.

Even though carbohydrates are composed of only these three atoms, the number of atoms of these elements in each carbohydrate as well as the spatial arrangement of these atoms in each carbohydrate is not the same.

This means that different carbohydrates contain different number of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are arranged in different ways in space. This gives room for the existence of many different types of carbohydrates all consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

A gas occupies a 1.5 L container at 25 degrees Celsius and 2.0 atm. If the gas is transferred to a 3.0 L container at the same t
harkovskaia [24]

To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

P1V1 =P2V2

P2 = P1 x V1 / V2

P2 = 2.0 x 1.5 / 3

<span>P2 = 1 atm</span>
