The volume of a weather balloon is 200.0 L and its internal pressure is 1.17 atm when it is launched at 20 °C. The balloon rises
brilliants [131]

Answer:

2022 L

Explanation:

Ideal gas laws will work for gas in the balloon

The general gas law is for a gas at two arbitrary states 1 and 2 is given by

(P₁ V₁)/T₁ = (P₂ V₂)/T₂

P₁ = 1.17 atm

V₁ = 200.0 L

T₁ = 20°C = 293.15 K

P₂ = 63 mmHg = 0.0829 atm

V₂ = ?

T₂ = 210 K

(1.17 × 200)/293.15 = (0.0829 × V₂)/210

V₂ = (210 × 1.17 × 200)/(293.15 × 0.0829)

V₂ = 2022 L

Mercury (Hg) poisoning is a debilitating disease that is often fatal. In the human body, mercury reacts with essential enzymes l
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

Explanation:

The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.

The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:

V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³

Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)

(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL

The mass of mercury is then found:

m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

What is a number at the bottom right of an element in a chemical equation called?
Ann [662]

Answer:

There’s a particular way of writing what’s in a molecule called a chemical formula. The chemical formulae for all the elements that form each molecule and uses a small number to the bottom right of an element’s symbol to stand for the number of atoms of that element. For example, the chemical formula for water is H 2 O.

List one benefit and one limitation of using scientific models.
Schach [20]

“Models are developed when a scientist’s creativity and insight are combined with data and observations about many similar scenarios”. Models are used for a lot of things in science. As we know everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the same applies to models. Models help us illustrate the concept and formulate hypothesis. When models are used, the scientists are able to notice patterns and develop and revise representation that become a useful model, which makes their scientific knowledge stronger and helps them understand more about the nature of science. Models are a simplified representation. One of the biggest advantages of the model is, that it allows you to have a look at things which are too small such as atoms or too big such as the solar system.

 

Although, having many benefits, models have quite a number of disadvantages. Models sometimes oversimplify the process therefore leading to a misunderstanding. As models are supposed to be a simplified representation, they will not be complex, which means they will lack detail. For Example “our particle model explains many things about matter, it is not comprehensive — for example, it cannot predict why certain materials have different electrical properties. We could add further refinements that are outside the scope of this course to enable it to do so, but it would make our model so complicated that it would no longer be useful to us”
