Idk how to write the formula I had this same question
Answer:
The correct answer is;
5. They were packaged at a higher pressure on the ground, thus causing the gas inside the packages to expand in the sky where the jet is at a lower pressure.
Explanation:
According to Boyle's law, the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to it volume at constant temperature
P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂
At the factories, the peanuts are packaged at atmospheric conditions whereby P₁ = 1 atm, however, the pressure of the air in the atmosphere decreases with altitude as such the pressure in the airplane jet is about a fraction of hat on the ground by about a factor of 0.7.
Therefore P₂ = 0.7 atm and we have
V₂ = P₁·V₁/P₂ = 1 atm×V₁/0.7 atm = 1.43·V₁
The volume increases at high altitudes
Solids are packed together closely, liquids are farther apart but still relatively close, and gases are very far apart with lots of space.
The statement that the friend made is not true. most of the mass of the plant is from carbon. the carbon comes from carbon dioxide which is used during photosynthesis. the left over carbon from photosynthesis is used to to help the plant gain mass. there is a process for this which is called cellular respiration
