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

2 answers:

6 0

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.

Write the formulas for the following ionic compounds: (a) copper bromide (containing the Cu+ ion), (b) manganese oxide (containi

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:The formulas of ionic compounds are:

a) $CuBr$

b) $Mn_2O_3$

c) $Hg_2I_2$

d) $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$

Explanation:

Formulas for the an ionic compounds is determine by:

Criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

(a) Copper bromide :Given that it contains $Cu^+$ ion.

$Cu^++Br^-\rightarrow CuBr$

(b) Manganese oxide : Given that it contains $Mn^{3+}$ ion.

$Mn^{3+}+O^{2-}\rightarrow Mn_2O_3$

(c)Mercury iodide :Given that it contains $Hg_2^{2+}$

$Hg_2^{2+}+I^-\rightarrow Hg_2I_2$

(d) Magnesium phosphate :Given that it contains $PO_4^{3-}$

$Mg^{2+}+PO_4^{3-}\rightarrow Mg_3(PO_4)_2$

The Lewis structure for CO2 has a central The Lewis structure for C O 2 has a central blank atom attached to blank atoms.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

1) The Lewis structure for $CO_2$ has a central Carbon atom attached to Oxygen atoms.

In the $CO_2$ we will have a structure: O=C=O the central atom "carbon" we will have 2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds, therefore, we have an Sp hybridization. For O we have 1 pi and 1 sigma bond, therefore, we have an Sp2 hybridization.

2) These atoms are held together by double bonds.

Again in the structure of $CO_2$ : O=C=O we only have double bonds.

3. Carbon dioxide has a Carbon dioxide has a Linear electron geometry.

Due to the double bonds we have to have a linear structure because in this geometry the atoms will be further apart from each other.

4. The carbon atom is Sp hybridized.

We will have for carbon 2 pi bonds, so we will have an Sp hybridization.

5. Carbon dioxide has two Carbon dioxide has two C(p) - O(p) π bonds and two C(sp) - O(Sp2) σ bonds.

(See figures)

The correct answer is resource partitioning.

The concept of resource partitioning is applicable in the branch of ecology. It signifies towards the procedure by which natural selection mediates competing species into distinct patterns of different niches or resource utilization.

When the species differentiate a niche to prevent competition for food resources, it is known as resource partitioning. At certain times, the competition is among the species, known as interspecific competition, and at sometimes it is among the individuals of the similar species, that is, intraspecific competition.
