Answer:

The new pressure is 40 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the gas = 20.0 L

Pressure of the gas = 10.0 atm

The volume decreases to 5.0 L

Step 2: Calculate the new pressure

P1*V1 = P2*V2

⇒with P1 = the initial pressure of the gas = 10.0 atm

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of the gas = 20.0 L

⇒with P2 = the new pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with V2 = the decreased volume = 5.0 L

10.0 atm * 20.0 L = P2 * 5.0 L

P2 = 200 / 5.0

P2 = 40 atm

Since the volume is 4x smaller, the pressure is 4x more

The new pressure is 40 atm

What is k in the rate law equation?
REY [17]

Answer:

B. A rate constant

Explanation:

The mathematical expression of rate law is given below,

Rate = K[A]m[B]n

This rate law show the relationship between the rate of chemical reaction and concentration of reactants.

In given equation [A] and [B] are molar concentration of reactants while K represent rate constant.

The value of K is specific for particular reaction at particular temperature,

m and n are represent exponents and determine experimentally. The value of K is not depend upon the concentrations of reactant but depend upon the surface area and temperature

How could you dissolve more solid in a saturated solution in a liquid solvent? explain please
storchak [24]
There are 3 ways,
1) Increase the temperature of the solvent- The higher the temperature of the solvent, the faster we can expect the solute to dissolve

2 )Increase the rate of stirring- The faster the rate at which we stir the mixture, the faster we can expect the solute to dissolve

3) Decrease the size of the solute particles- The smaller the size of the particles, the faster we can expect the solute to dissolve in the. This is because small particles have a larger surface area that come into contact with the solvent

Hope this helps :)
