Answer:
When two atoms are very far apart, the potential energy approaches zero.
Answer: The pressure after the tire is heated to 17.3°C is 167 kPa
Explanation:
To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.
Mathematically,

where,
are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.
are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.
We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the pressure after the tire is heated to 17.3°C is 167 kPa
We can write the balanced equation for the synthesis reaction as
H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)
We use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and hydrogen gas H2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2 needed:
mass of H2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2)
= 4.056 g H2
We also use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and chlorine gas CL2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2:
mass of CL2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(70.91 g Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2)
= 142.4 g Cl2
Therefore, we need 4.056 grams of hydrogen gas and 142.4 grams of chlorine gas to produce 146.4 grams of hydrogen chloride gas.
The answer is A because it’s how you calculate the mass
