A student constructs a simple constant volume gas thermometer and calibrates it using the boiling point of water, 100°C, and the

freezing point of a specific brine solution, -19°C. The pressures measured at the calibration points are 1.366 atm and 0.9267 atm, respectively. From these data, what temperature will the student calculate, in degrees Celsius, for the value of absolute zero?

Answer:

The pressure corresponding to the absolute zero temperature is 0.997atm.

Explanation:

To solve this question, you draw a straight vertical line with the boiling point temperature and pressure on top of the line and the freezing point temperature and pressure on the lower part. The absolute temperature somewhere in the middle of the line with the pressure to be obtained.

So, we have;

0- (-19) / 100 - (-19) = P - 0.9267 / 1.366 - 0.9267

19 / 119 = P - 0.9267 / 0.4393

Cross multiply, we have

19 * 0.4393 = 119(P -0.9267)

8.3467 = 119P - 110.2773

119P = 118.624

P = 0.997 atm

So at 0°C, the pressure of the thermometer is 0.997atm.

Pamela drove her car 999999 kilometers and used 999 liters of fuel. she wants to know how many kilometers (k)(k)left parenthesis
Vanyuwa [196]
When the relationship between two variables are said to be proportional, it means that one variable is a constant multiple of the other variable. They are related by a constant of proportionality, usually denoted as k. 

In this problem, the dependent variable is the distance in kilometers. Your mileage is limited with the amount of fuel you have. Thus, the independent variable is the liters of fuel. When these two are proportional, it could be expressed as

distance = k * liters of fuel, such that 
distance/liters of fuel = k

By variation,

distance,1/liters of fuel,1 = distance,2/liters of fuel,2, where 1 denotes situation 1 and 2 denotes situation 2. Therefore,

 999999 km /<span>999 liters =  x km /</span><span>121212 liters, where x is the unknown distance. We can now therefore find the value of x.

x = (999999*121212)/999
x = 121333212 kilometers</span>

A gas has an initial volume of 168 cm3 at a temperature of 255 K and a pressure of 1.6 atm. The pressure of the gas decreases to
erastovalidia [21]
Would presume you are asked to find the volume, since there is no second volume.

By General Gas Law:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

1.6 * 168 /255 = 1.3*V₂/285

V₂ = 1.6 * 168 * 285 / (1.3*255)

V₂ = 231.095

Final volume ≈ 231 cm³

A ball with a mass of 0.5 kilograms is lifted to a height of 2.0 meters and dropped. It bounces back to a height of 1.8 meters.
Degger [83]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

To compute for the change in potential energy, the equation would be:

delta PE =  mg*delta h
delta PE = 0.5*9.81*(2-1.8)
delta Pe = 0.98 J

The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

An alloy is made of a material of specific gravity 7.87 and another material of specific gravity 4.50. The alloy of mass 750g ha
julsineya [31]

Answer:

13.9

Explanation:

Apparent weight is the normal force.  Sum of the forces on the alloy when it is submerged:

∑F = ma

N + B − W = 0

N + ρVg − mg = 0

6.6 + (0.78 × 1000) V (9.8) − (0.750) (9.8) = 0

V = 9.81×10⁻⁵

If x is the volume of the first material, and y is the volume of the second material, then:

x + y = 9.81×10⁻⁵

(7.87×1000) x + (4.50×1000) y = 0.750

Two equations, two variables.  Solve with substitution:

7870 (9.81×10⁻⁵ − y) + 4500 y = 0.750

0.772 − 7870 y + 4500 y = 0.750

0.0222 = 3370 y

y = 6.58×10⁻⁶

x = 9.15×10⁻⁵

The ratio of the volumes is:

x/y = 13.9
