Answer:

1) Oil is less dense than water so when oil spills, it spreads across the entire water surface.

2) The oil spreads very quickly with lighter oils such as gasoline.

3) Wind, Currents, and Warm Temperatures will cause Oil to spread quicker.

What is the volume in liters of 3.80 moles of CO2gas at STP?

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

V = 85.2

Explanation:

STP = 273K and 1 atm

Considering what we know about STP, we get the moles, temperature, and pressure. Using the ideal gas law we can find the volume (PV = nRT). Plug in our variables: (1 * V = 3.80 * R * 273). Since we are dealing with atm and not kPA or mmHg, we use the constant for atm (0.0821) which we use for R. (So.. now our equation is 1 * V = 3.80 * 0.0821 * 273). We now multiply the right side to get 85.17054. So... V = 85.2 considering sigificant figures (this is the part where I am the least sure of, since I havent done sig figs in a while)
