The pressure needed to change the volume to 24 L is 0.796 atm.

Explanation:

It is known by Boyle's law that the pressure experienced by the gas molecules will be inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the molecules.

$P =\frac{1}{V}$

So as the initial volume is said to be 22.4 L, consider it as V₁ = 22.4 L. Then the initial pressure is said to be 0.853 atm, so P₁ = 0.853 atm. So we have to determine the new pressure P₂ when the volume is changed to V₂ = 24 L. As there is increase in the volume, the pressure should be decreased due to Boyle's law. Thus, as per Boyle's law, the two pressures and their volumes can be related as

$P_{1} V_{1} = P_{2} V_{2}$

$0.853*22.4 = P_{2}*24\\\\P_{2} = \frac{0.853*22.4}{24} = 0.796 atm$

Thus, the pressure gets decreased to 0.796 atm on increase in the volume to 24 L.

So the pressure needed to change the volume to 24 L is 0.796 atm.

A 220.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 500.0 grams of water 24.00 °C. If the final temperature of water is 42.00 °C, what

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

C. 481 °C.

Explanation:

At equilibrium:

The amount of heat absorbed by water = the amount of heat released by copper.

To find the amount of heat, we can use the relation:

Q = m.c.ΔT,

where, Q is the amount of energy.

m is the mass of substance.

c is the specific heat capacity.

ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T).

∵ Q of copper = Q of water

∴ - (m.c.ΔT) of copper = (m.c.ΔT) of water

m of copper = 220.0 g, c of copper = 0.39 J/g °C, ΔT of copper = final T - initial T = 42.00 °C - initial T.

m of water = 500.0 g, c of water = 4.18 J/g °C, ΔT of water = final T - initial T = 42.00 °C - 24.00 °C = 18.00 °C.

∴ - (220.0 g)( 0.39 J/g °C)(42.00 °C - Ti) = (500.0 g)(4.18 J/g °C)(18.00 °C)

∴ - (85.8)(42.00 °C - Ti) = 37620.

∴ (42.00 °C - Ti) = 37620/(- 85.8) = - 438.5.

∴ Ti = 42.00 °C + 438.5 = 480.5°C ≅ 481°C.

So, the right choice is: C. 481 °C.

Rank the following amine derivatives from highest acidity (lowest pKa value) to lowest acidity (highest pKa value).

stira [4]

Answer:

anilinium ion > ammonium ion > amide > aniline > secondary amine

Explanation:

Acidity of amine derivatives can derived from their pKa values.

The rule of thumb for acidity with relation to pKa values is that:

As the pKa decreases the acid strength increases and the conjugate base decreases. Similarly, as the pKa increases, the acid strength decreases and the conjugate base increase.

Hence the stronger the acid , the lower pKa value and the weaker the acid , the stronger the pKa value.

So the pKa value for anilinium ion = 4.6

ammonium ion = 9.4

Amide = 15

Similarly, for aniline and secondary amine, in order to determine the derivative with the higher acidity, we will consider the electron withdrawing substituent group.

The more difficult the electron are being withdraw from the electron withdrawing substituent , the more acidic the compound.

In aniline , the stabilized benzene ring attached to NH₂ makes it a less electron withdrawing group compared to the straight chains structure found in secondary amine where electron are easily withdraw by nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Thus, from highest acidity (lowest pKa value) to lowest acidity (highest pKa value).

the amine derivatives ranking is as follows:

anilinium ion > ammonium ion > amide > aniline > secondary amine

Soil is an essential component of the earth's crust. It enabled life to exist and

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The consequences of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has contributed to increased runoff and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waters and causing declines in fish and other animals.

We can protect the community from soil erosion by -:

Maintaining a good, perennial cover for plants.

From mulching.

Planting a crop for cover

Explanation:

SOIL EROSION -: The soil erosion mechanism is both natural and man-made. In nature, this refers to the removal of the top layer of soil caused by wind and water, while human activity may increase exposure to these elements.

MAJOR EFFECTS OF SOIL EROSION -:

Pollution and Low Water Quality -: Sedimentation is created by gradual soil erosion, a process by which rocks and minerals in the soil are separated from the soil and deposited elsewhere, often in streams and rivers. Soil contaminants, such as fertilizers and pest control agents, often settle in the streams and rivers to protect crops. Water contaminants contribute to low water quality, including drinking water quality, if the contaminants are not removed prior to ingestion. As sunlight can get through the sediment, sedimentation also leads to the excessive growth of algae. According to the World Wildlife Fund, high levels of algae drain too much oxygen from the water, resulting in the mortality of marine species and reduced fish stocks.
Structural Issues and Mudslides -: Soil erosion contributes to mudslides, impacting the stability of buildings and roadways and their structural integrity. Mudslides affect not only soil-supported structures, but also buildings and roads that are in the path of slides. Mudslides occur when, as a result of the intensity and energy of heavy rainfall, fine sand , clay, silt, organic matter and soil spill off the sides of hills and slopes. According to Envirothon, a program of the National Conservation Foundation and North America's largest high school environmental education competition, this runoff happens rapidly, because there is not enough time for the surface to reabsorb or catch the eroding soil.
Flooding and Deforestation -: Deforestation erodes soil — the removal of trees to create space for towns and agriculture. Trees help to maintain soil in place, so winds and rains drive the loose soil and rocks to streams and rivers when they are uprooted, resulting again in unnecessary sedimentation. The thick layers of sediment keep streams and rivers from flowing smoothly, ultimately contributing to flooding. Excess water, especially during rainy seasons and when the snow melts, gets trapped by the sediment and has nowhere to go except back on land.

The Deterioration of Soil -: Soil nutrient depletion is often the result of poorly performed cultivation and cultivation practices that contribute to soil erosion. For natural vegetation and agricultural purposes, excessive irrigation and obsolete tilling practices decrease the amount of nutrients in the soil and make it less fertile.

PROTECTION OF COMMUNITY FROM SOIL EROSION -

Maintaining a good, perennial cover for plants -: Your perennial garden's care and upkeep need not be difficult or overwhelming. A blend of certain simple horticultural values with common sense and a good eye is a great part of good gardening.
MULCHING -: The amount of water that evaporates from your soil will be reduced by mulch, greatly reducing the need to water the plants. By breaking up clay and permitting better movement of water and air through the soil. Mulch supplements sandy soil with nutrients and enhances its ability to retain water.

PLANTING A CROP FOR COVER -: Winter rye in vegetable gardens, for instance. This includes annual grasses, small grains , legumes and other forms of vegetation that have been planted to provide temporary vegetative cover. Cover crops are also often tilled as a 'green manure' crop under serving.
