Initial temperature = -189.4 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

the volume of a gas is changed from 3.6 L to 15.5 L

final temperature = 87 °C = 87+ 273 = 360 K

Required

initial temperature

Solution

Charles's Law

<em>When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature </em>

$\tt \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

$\tt T_1=\dfrac{V_1.T_2}{V_2}\\\\T_1=\dfrac{3.6\times 360}{15.5}\\\\T_1=83.6~K=-189.4^oC$

Answer: B) Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

Explanation:

Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two object. Example: heating a pan on stove.

Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of hot layers to the top and cold layers to the bottom which leads to convection currents. Example: Heating of swimming pool.

Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through empty space.The electromagnetic radiation from the surface of an object which is due to the object's temperature is radiation. Example: Heating of earth's surface.

Answer:

Value = 1.80 g/cm³ (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

$\frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(1.65 \times 10^2 cm)^3}$

Computation:

$\frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(1.65 \times 10^2 cm)^3} \\\\\frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(4.492125 \times 10^6 cm^3)} \\\\ \frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(4.492125 \times 10^6 cm^3)}\\\\ \frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{18.8166132\times 10^6 cm^3} \\\\ 1.80159945g/cm^3$
