Answer:
236.9g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Volume of gas = 81.3L
Pressure of gas = 204kPa
temperature of gas = 95°C
Unknown:
Mass of carbondioxide gas = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, the ideal gas law will be well suited. The ideal gas law is a fusion of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Avogadro's law.
Mathematically, it is expressed as;
PV = nRT
the unknown here is n which is the number of moles;
P is the pressure, V is the volume, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.
convert pressure into atm
101.325KPa = 1atm
204 kPa =
= 2atm
Convert temperature to Kelvin; 95 + 273 = 368K
2 x 81.3 = n x 0.082 x 368
n =
= 5.38moles
Since the unknown is mass;
Mass = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 12 + 2(16) = 44g/mol
Mass = 5.38 x 44 = 236.9g

What we want to measure is the taste of coffee.
The following were kept constant during the experimental investigation:
The type of coffee,
The type of percolator,
The same amount and type of water,
The same perking time,
The same electrical sources.
Because these items were kept constant, they are not expected to influence the outcome of the experimental investigation.
Define:
y = the metric used to measure the taste of coffee
x = amount of coffee grounds used for the taste experiment.
Therefore the relationship that arises from the experiment is
y = y(x).
Because x is controllable and is varied during the experiment, it is the independent variable.
Because the measured value of y depends on x, therefore y is the dependent variable.
Answer:
The taste of coffee is the dependent variable.
The amount of coffee grounds used is the independent variable.
