The temperature of the oxygen gas is 243.75 K.

Using ideal gas law to explain the answer, the absolute temperature of the gas will decrease if the number of moles of the gas increases and it will increase if the volume and/or pressure of the gas increases.

The reaction of the given elements;

$H_2 \ + \ \frac{1}{2} O_2 \ --->\ \ H_2O$

volume of the collected oxygen gas, V = 10 L

pressure of the gas, P = 1 atm

number of moles of the gas, n = 0.5

Using ideal law the temperature of the oxygen gas is calculated as follows;

$PV = nRT\\\\T = \frac{PV}{nR} \\\\where;\\R \ is \ the \ ideal \ gas \ constant = 0.08205 \ L.atm/K.mol\\\\T = \frac{1 \times 10 }{0.5 \times 0.08205} \\\\T = 243.75 \ K$

Thus, the temperature of the gas is 243.75 K.

Using ideal gas law to explain the answer. The absolute temperature of the oxygen gas is directly proportional to the product of its pressure and volume and inversely proportional to its number of moles. That is the absolute temperature of the gas will decrease if the number of moles of the gas increases and it will increase if the volume and/or pressure increases.

A 1300 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. (Figure

Dmitriy789 [7]

Relative to the positive horizontal axis, rope 1 makes an angle of 90 + 20 = 110 degrees, while rope 2 makes an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

By Newton's second law,

the net horizontal force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0$

where $R_1,R_2$ are the magnitudes of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2, respectively;

the net vertical force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ) - mg = 0$

where $m=1300\,\rm kg$ and $g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

Eliminating $R_2$ , we have

$\sin(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ)\bigg) - \cos(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ)\bigg) = 0\sin(60^\circ) - mg\cos(60^\circ)$
