atmospheres, if the new volume is 0.92 L?

V1=1.5L
V2=0.92L
P1=2.8atm
P2=?

Using Boyle's law

$\boxed{\sf v\propto \dfrac{1}{p}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=\dfrac{2.8\times 1.5}{0.92}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=\dfrac{4.2}{0.92}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=4.56atm$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2\approx 4.6atm$

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.6 \ atm}}$

Explanation:

In this scenario, we need to determine the new pressure following a volume change, utilizing Boyle's Law, which states that gas volume is inversely related to pressure. The governing equation is:

$P_1V_1= P_2V_2$

Initially, the gas is at a volume of 1.5 liters with a pressure of 2.8 atmospheres.

$1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm = P_2V_2$

This volume decreases to 0.92 liters, but the new pressure is unknown.

$1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm = P_2* 0.92 \ L$

To solve for the final pressure, we isolate P₂. The equation involves multiplication by 0.92 liters, and we counter this via division on both sides.

$\frac {1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm}{0.92 \ L} = \frac{P_2* 0.92 \ L}{0.92 \ L}$

$\frac {1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm}{0.92 \ L}= P_2$

This allows the liters to cancel out.

$\frac {1.5 * 2.8 \ atm}{0.92 }=P_2$

$\frac {4.2}{0.92} \ atm= P_2$

Considering that the initial pressure and volume both hold 2 significant figures, our result must align with that. Thus, the number derived must be adjusted to the tenths place, where a rounding is indicated. $4.565217391 \ atm = P_2$

The final pressure value is close to 4.6 atmospheres.

1. For which of these elements would the first ionization energy of the atom be higher than that of the diatomic molecule?

alisha [2963]

Answer: The correct selection is (b).

Explanation:

The energy required to detach an electron from an atom or ion in its gaseous state is termed ionization energy.

This indicates that a smaller atom necessitates a greater amount of energy to remove its valence electron. The reason for this is that there exists a strong attraction between the nucleus and the electrons in smaller atoms or elements.

Therefore, a significant amount of energy is needed to dislodge the valence electrons.

The electronic configuration for helium is $1s^{2}$ . Hence, due to its fully occupied valence shell, it exhibits greater stability.

Consequently, a large amount of energy is needed to remove an electron from a helium atom.

In conclusion, from the choices provided, the ionization energy of helium will be greater than that of the diatomic molecule.

1. If a car is traveling 90 mi/hr, how many feet will the car travel in 1 sec? In 5 sec?

alisha [2963]

Answer:

The vehicle travels 660 feet

Explanation:

Initially, convert the speed into Feet per second

The car's speed is 90 mi/hr

1 mi = 5280 ft

For 90 miles, we calculate 90 x 5280 = 475,200 feet

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore,

1 hour = 60 x 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

Speed is defined as the distance covered by an object over time. The speed formula is:

$Speed =\frac{distance}{time}$

$Speed =\frac{90mi}{1hr}$ ... given

$Speed =\frac{475200 ft}{3600sec}$

Speed = 132 ft/sec

Thus, time = 5 seconds

$Speed =\frac{distance}{time}$

$distance =speed\times time$

$distance = 132ft/sec\times 5sec$

Distance = 660 feet
