A gas has a volume of 25.6 L at a temperature of 278 K. What will be the new temperature, in C, if
1 answer:
<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is: -97.37° C
<h2>Why?</h2>According to the Charles and Gay-Lussac's Law we have that:
Where:
<em>v</em> is the volume of the gas
<em>t</em> is the temperature of the gas
<em>k </em>is the proportionality constant
From the Gay-Lussac's Law we also have the following relation:
Since we need to find the new temperature (T2) we can use the last equation:
We are asked to find the temperature in Celsius degrees, so, we must convert the result (in K) to Celsius degrees:
So, the temperature is -97.37° C
Have a nice day!

Answer: 17) d.
18. c. The empirical formula of a compound can be twice the molecular formula.
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.
The equation used to calculate the valency is:
The empirical mass can be calculated from empirical formula and molar mass must be known.
17. Thus the empirical formula of should be
18. The molecular formula will either be same as empirical formula or is a whole number multiple of empirical formula. Thus the empirical formula of a compound can never be twice the molecular formula.
