A cylinder containing 14.71 L of helium gas at a pressure of 169.1 atm is to be used to fill toy balloons to a pressure of 1.086 atm. Each inflated balloon has a volume of 2.414 L. What is the maximum number of balloons that can be inflated? Report your answer to 1 decimal place. (Remember that 14.71 L of helium at 1.086 atm will remain in the exhausted (empty) cylinder)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of balloons is 948.8.

Explanation:

The number of balloons can be calculated as follows:

[tex] N = \frac{V_{f}}{V_{T}} [/tex]

Where:

[tex]V_{f}[/tex]: is the volume at 1.086 atm

[tex]V_{T}[/tex]: is the balloon volume = 2.414 L  

The volume at 1.086 atm can be found using Boyle's law:

[tex] P_{i}V_{i} = P_{f}V_{f} [/tex]

[tex] V_{f} = \frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} = \frac{169.1 atm*14.71 L}{1.086 atm} = 2290.5 L [/tex]

Now, the number of balloons is:

[tex] N = \frac{V_{f}}{V_{T}} = \frac{2290.5 L}{2.414 L} = 948.8 [/tex]

Therefore, the number of balloons is 948.8.

Answers

Answer:

The answer that completes the question are in BOLD:

At chemical equilibrium, the amount of PRODUCT AND REACTANT REMAIN CONSTANT because the RATES OF THE FORWARD AND REVERSE REACTIONS ARE EQUAL.

Explanation:

In a reversible chemical reaction, an equilibrium is said to be achieved when the rates of the forward reaction is equal to that of the reverse reaction. A reversible reaction is one in which products are formed from reactants simultaneously with the formation of reactants from products.

The combination of two or more substances called REACTANTS gives rise to another substance called PRODUCT, which can in turn give rise to Reactants again. With time, the rate at which the reactants give rise the products, which is called the FORWARD REACTION will be equal to the rate at which the products give rise to the reactants, which is called REVERSE REACTION. At this point, the chemical reaction is said to be in a STATE OF EQUILIBRIUM.

When the rate at which both reaction occurs becomes equal i.e. at an equilibrium state, the concentration of both the reactants and the products becomes constant i.e. no longer changes. Hence, the amount of the reactants forming the products is the same as the amount of products forming the reactants.

N.B: At chemical equilibrium, the amount of the reactants and products does not necessarily equals zero (0). It simply means that there is no net change in the concentration/amount of both reactants and products.

Polarity.
Alkynes are nonpolar, unsaturated hydrocarbons with physical properties similar to alkanes and alkenes. Alkynes dissolve in organic solvents, have slight solubility in polar solvents, and are insoluble in water. Compared to alkanes and alkenes, alkynes have slightly higher boiling points.

Alkenes are chemically more reactive than alkanes.
This because alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that have a double bond, C=C, between two carbon atom.
Almost all of the chemical reactions of alkene occur at the double bond.

El %m/v es una unidad de concentración que se define como cien veces la división entre la masa de una sustancia (En gramos) y el volumen total en el que esta sustancia se encuentra (en mL).

En el problema, debemos hallar la masa de etanol (Alcohol) y el volumen total de la solución.

Masa alcohol:

Ya te la dan en el problema: 105g

Volumen solución:

Volumen agua: 15mL

Volumen etanol: 105g × (1mL / 0.798g) = 131mL

Volumen Jabón líquido: 4.5g × (1mL / 1.5g) = 3mL

Volumen: 15mL + 131mL + 3mL

149mL

Así, el %m/v de alcohol en la solución es:

%m/v = (105g / 149mL) × 100

%m/v =70%

Benzene: 5.5

Water: 0

Butane: -138

Nitrogen: -210

The substances that will solidify before the temperature reaches 0°C is benzene. The correct option is A.

What is freezing point?

Freezing, also known as solidification, is a phase transition that occurs when the temperature of a liquid falls below its freezing point.

If the intermolecular forces between its molecules are strong, the freezing point is high.

When the forces are weak, the freezing point is low. The freezing point of a liquid or the melting point of a solid occurs when the solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium.

Pure benzene has a freezing point of 5.48 degrees Celsius. Because of the salt in it, fresh water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but seawater freezes at around 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thus, as per the given scenario, the correct option is A.

In 1855, biologist Rudolph Virchow added to Schleiden's and Schwann's observations and proposed that all living things are composed of cells. Which statement is also part of Virchow's cell theory?

Answers

Answer:

cells arose from preexisting cells

Explanation:

Rudolph Virchow is a German biologist that built on the work of other scientists such as Theodor Schwan to contribute his own quota to the development of the cell theory as it is currently known.

After several studies, Virchow rejected the idea of spontaneous generation and accepted the initially rejected idea of cell division. He earlier believed that cell division only takes place is some special type of cells and not in all cells.

Even though Virchow was not the first to bring the idea of cells arising from preexisting cells, he was the one that popularized the idea and added it to the earlier belief that all living organisms are made up of cells.

Explanation:

What happens when two objects when they are brought closer together The mass of both objects decrease The mass of both objects increase The gravitational force between them decreases The gravitational force between them increases

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is

The gravitational force between them increases

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of their centers from each other.

The formula for universal gravitation is given as follows;

[tex]F_{1} = F_{2} =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Where;

F₁, and F₂ = The gravitational forces of attraction on each mass

G = The gravitational constant

m₁ = The mass of one body

m₂ = The mass of the body

r = The distance between the centers of the two bodies

Therefore, the gravitational force of attraction on each object is inversely proportional to the as the distance between the centers of the two bodies

When the distance between the centers of the two bodies decreases, the two objects are brought closer together, the gravitational force of attraction between them increases.

Answer:

Gravitational force between two objects of masses m1/m2

Explanation:

is defined by Gm1xm2/r^2, where G is a universal constant, and r is the distance between the masses. This shows you why B is wrong; it would increase. Also, A is not a good choice, as shown. In the case of B, it would increase by say, 2/1 to 4/1 by doubling ones mass. In C's case the bottom would decrease on the fraction alot (square) if they were moved closer, thus the force would be greater.

In a reversible reaction, the endothermic reaction absorbs ____________ the exothermic reaction releases.
A. None of these, endothermic reactions release energy
B. more energy than
C. the same amount of energy as
D. less energy than

Answers

Answer:

C. the same amount of energy as

Explanation:

Firstly, a chemical reaction can either absorb energy from its surroundings to occur or release energy into its surroundings as a product. The former and latter descriptions are called ENDOTHERMIC and EXOTHERMIC reactions respectively. An exothermic reaction is that which transfers energy, in form of heat, to its surroundings while an Endothermic reaction is that which absorbs energy (heat) from its surroundings.

However, a reversible reaction is that reaction in which the formation of products from reactants and reformation of the reactants from products occur simultaneously. Hence, the products of a reversible reaction can become the reactants and move in the opposite direction. For example:

Reversible reaction: A + B ⇆ C + D means;

A + B → C + D and;

C + D → A + B

In a case whereby the opposite reactions consist of an endothermic and exothermic reactions, the endothermic reaction absorbs the same amount of energy as the exothermic reaction releases.

According to the law of conservation of energy, no energy is lost during a reversible reaction. Hence, in order to achieve an equilibrium, the amount of energy absorbed by the endothermic reaction is the same as the amount of energy released in the opposite exothermic reaction.

Answers

Answer:

Heat = 3138J

Explanation:

In the system, the sample of Copper is releasing heat that produce the increasing in the temperature of water.

Using the equation of calorimeter, we can find the heat released for the sample of copper (The same that is absorbed for the water):

Q = C×m×ΔT

Where Q is heat, C is specific heat (For water: 4.184J/molK), m is the mass of water (50g) and ΔT is change in temperature of water (40°C-25°C = 15°C)

Replacing:

Q = 4.184J/molK×50g×15°C

Q = 3138J is the heat released for the sample of Copper (The same absorbed for the water).

Answer:

heat=3138j
