Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1.48 L</h2>

Explanation:

In order to find the original volume we use the same for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the original volume

$V_1 = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1} \\$

From the question

P1 = 172 kPa = 172000 Pa

P2 = 85 kPa = 85000 Pa

V2 = 3 L

We have

$V_1 = \frac{85000 \times 3}{172000} = \frac{255000}{172000} = \frac{255}{172} \\ = 1.482558139...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Neutrons were discovered in 1932, more than 10 years after the existence of isotopes was confirmed. What property of electrons a

kirza4 [7]

Protons and neutrons are the sub-atomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom where as electrons are present revolving round the nucleus in orbits. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged where as a neutron is a neutral species. It is the presence of electric charge that lead to the discovery of electrons (negative charge) and protons (positive charge), while it took time to discover neutral as they were electrically neutral species. Neutrons carrying no charge were not detected easily by passing electromagnetic radiations. Therefore, neutrons were the last of the three subatomic particles, to be discovered.

How many moles of chromium(iii) nitrate are produced when chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead(iv) nitrate to produce chromiu

Alexxandr [17]

The moles of chromium (iii) nitrate produced is calculated as follows

write the equation for reaction

3 Pb(NO3)2 + 2 Cr = 2 Cr(NO3)3 + 3 Pb

by use of mole ratio between Pb(NO3)2 to Cr(NO3)3 which is 3 : 2 the moles of Cr(NO3)3 is therefore
= 0.85 x2 /3 = 0.57 moles

The standard reduction potentials for two half-cells involving iron are: given below. Fe2+ (aq) + 2e– ® Fe (s) Eο = –0.44 V Fe3+

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fe⁺² (aq) + 2e⁻ = Fe (s) ; E⁰ = - .44 V

Fe⁺³ (aq) + e⁻ = ® Fe²⁺ (aq) ; E⁰ = + .77 V

Reduction potential of second reaction is more , so it will take place , ie Fe⁺³ will be reduced and Fe will be oxidised .

So reaction in the combined cell will be

2Fe⁺³ + Fe = 3Fe⁺²

cell potential = .77 - ( - .44 )

= 1.21 V .

Draw the structure of (z)-3-methylhept-3-ene. be sure the stereochemistry is drawn clearly.

aivan3 [116]

In alkene if two substituent and hydrogen are attached in the isomer may be cis or trans. When two or more substitution are attached to an alkene the isomer may be Z or E.All cis are Z isomer. The structure of (Z)-3-methy-3-heptene is as the following attachment
