The atomic mass number does not change because a beta particle has a much smaller mass than the atom. The atomic number goes up because a neutron has turned into an extra proton. Beta decay is fundamentally different from alpha decay. An alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons.

A cylinder containing carbon dioxide of volume 20 L at 2.0 atm was connected to another cylinder of certain volume at constant t

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The volume of the second cylinder is 80 liters

Explanation:

We use the Boyle-Mariotte formula, according to which the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related, keeping the temperature constant: P1 x V1 = P2xV2. We convert the pressure in mmHg to atm:

760 mmHg-----1 atm

380mmHg------x= (380mmHgx1atm)/760mmHg=0,5 atm

P1xV1=P2xV2

2 atmx20 L= 0,5atm x V2 V2=(2 atmx20 L)/0,5atm=80L
