Answer:
300.9mL
Explanation:
Given parameters:
V₁ = 280mL
T₁ = 22°C
T₂ = 44°C
Unknown:
V₂ = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply Charles's law;
it is mathematically expressed as;
We need to convert the temperature to kelvin;
T₁ = 22°C = 22 + 273 = 295K
T₂ = 44°C = 44 + 273 = 317K
Input the parameters and solve;
= 
V₂ x 295 = 280 x 317
V₂ = 300.9mL
Scientists make hypothesis in order to make an educated guess on the outcome of the experiment.
Radius of Xenon = 1.3Ă—10â’8 cm
Volume = 100 ml = 0.1 L
Pressure P = 1.2 atm = 121.59 Kpa
Temperature = 281 K
R = Gas Constant = 8.31 J mol^-1 K^-1
Now find the number of atoms
PV = nRT => n = PV / RT
n = (121.59 x 0.1) / (8.31 x 281) = / 2335.11 = 0.0052
Number of atoms in a mole is same as Avogadro constant A, which is 6.02 x
10^23 particles.
n = number of atoms= 0.0052
N = number of particles
Avogadro constant A = 6.02 x 10^23
n = N/A => N = n x A = 0.0052 x 6.02 x 106^23 = 3.13 x 10^20
Volume of Xe atom which would be a sphere = (4/3) x pi x r^3
Volume = = (4/3) x 3.14 x (1.3Ă—10â’8)^3 = 9.2 x 10^-24
Volume occupied by these particles = n x Volume = 3.13 x 10^20 x 9.2 x
10^-24 = 0.00288
Fraction of volume will be = 0.00288 / 0.1 = 0.0288
Sound actually travels slower in air.This is because sound is kinetic energy and has to pass from molecule to molecule.In gas the molecules are farther apart taking more time for it to pass,in water the molecules are closer so it takes less time for the sound to get from one molecule to another and with cast iron (since it's very dense) the molecules are very close allowing sound to travel quickly with ease.
