Air in a closed cylinder is heated from 25 degree C to 36 degree C. If the initial pressure is 3.80 atm what is the final pressu
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: 3.94 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial pressure (P1) = 3.80atm

Initial temperature (T1) = 25°C

since the standard unit of temperature is Kelvin, convert 25°C to Kelvin

(25°C + 273= 298K)

Final pressure P2 = ?

Final temperature T2 = 36°C

(36°C + 273= 309K)

Since pressure and temperature are given while volume is held constant, apply the formula for Pressure's law

P1/T1 = P2/T2

3.80 atm / 298K = P2 / 309K

To get the value of P2, cross multiply

3.80 atm x 309K = P2 x 298K

1174.2 atm•K = 298K•P2

Divide both sides by 298K

1174.2 atm•K/298K = 298K•P2/298K

3.94 atm = P2

Thus, the final pressure is 3.94 atm

Write the equations that represent the first and second ionization steps for selenic acid (H2SeO4) in water. (Use H3O instead of
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

First ionization step:

H₂SeO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)  →  H₃O⁺(aq) + HSeO₄⁻(aq)

Second ionization step:

HSeO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)  →  H₃O⁺(aq) + SeO₄⁻²(aq)

Explanation:

Selenic acid is a dyprotic and a strong acid with the formula: H₂SeO₄.

When it reacts to water, it release two protons in two ionizations.

Finally it gives hydronium to the medium.

H₂SeO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)  →  H₃O⁺(aq) + HSeO₄⁻(aq)

HSeO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)  →  H₃O⁺(aq) + SeO₄⁻²(aq)

Tides describe the regular rising and falling of ocean water. Tides are caused by
user100 [1]

Tides are the rise and fall of the oceans. They are caused by the gravity, or pull, of the Moon and Sun. The Moon's gravity is the main force in causing tides. It makes the oceans bulge out toward it. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, because Earth is being pulled toward the Moon and away from the water. The water on the side farthest away from the Moon is least affected by its gravity.

Explain why electrons orbit around the nucleus
Sonja [21]
In quantum mechanics, an atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom. This function can be used to calculate the probability of finding any electron of an atom in any specific region around the atom's nucleus.
