Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).

Answer:

sorry the other one is a very bad answer i just took the test so this should. good luck

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide in the head space above the liquid is at higher pressure than atmospheric pressure outside the can.

The gas is at a lower volume initially but suddenly has a larger volume available when the can is opened.

The change in pressure as the gas rapidly moves to become dispersed through its new volume causes the “whoosh” sound.

The gas law that applies is Boyle’s law.

Why would it be better to be an r-selected species if the water resources in an area were to become more limited over a short pe
Gnoma [55]
An r-selected species reproduces much faster than K-selected species.

r-selected species focuses on maturing and reproducing quickly. r-selected species will probably reproduce when the water supply is there for the short period of time; thus, increasing the chance of the r-selected species of surviving.

K-selected species, on the other hand, focus on raising their young and reproduce later. Since the K-selected species take long to mature before reproducing, water supply may run out before they have a chance of fully maturing; thus, K-selected species have a lower chance of survival.

Hope this helps.

3. A 0.500 g sample of nitrogen gas combines with 1.140 g of oxygen gas to form NO2. If the atomic mass of oxygen is 16.000, cal
DedPeter [7]

Answer;

= 18.24

Explanation;

The ratio of N and O in the formula NO2 IS 1:2

Mass of nitrogen gas is 0.500 g

Moles of nitrogen will be;

= 0.500/16 = 0.03125 moles

Therefore;

The moles of Oxygen from the ratio will be;

= 0.03125 × 2 = 0.0625 moles

But; 0.0625 moles is equal to 1.140 g of Oxygen

The atomic number (mass in 1 mole) will be;

= 1.140 /0.0625

= 18.24

Thus the atomic number of Oxygen from the data is 18.24

The kinetic energy of the products is equal to the energy liberated which is 92.2 keV. But let's convert the unit keV to Joules. keV is kiloelectro volt. The conversion that we need is: 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ <span>joule = 1 eV

Kinetic energy = 92.2 keV*(1,000 eV/1 keV)*(</span>1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joule/1 eV) = 5.76×10²³ Joules

From kinetic energy, we can calculate the velocity of each He atom:
KE = 1/2*mv²
5.76×10²³ Joules = 1/2*(4)(v²)
v = 5.367×10¹¹ m/s
