If 48,000 coulombs of electricity are required to discharge 0.5 mole of sodium from a molten sodium chloride mass, then the number of coulombs required to discharge 2 moles of lead from molten lead (ll) chloride is?

A.

48,000

B.

96,000

C.

192,000

D.

384,000

E.

576,000

Correct answer is D

48,000 coulombs are required to discharge 0.5 mole of Na
∴ 1 m will be discharged by 2 x 48,000 = 96,000 coulombs
2 moles of Na will be discharged by 2 x 96,000
= 192,000
For lead (Pb) two electrons are involved.
∴ Number or coulombs required to discharged 2 moles of Pb = 2 x 192,000 = 384,000 coulombs

28.8 cm3 of nitrogen at 15°C is cooled to O°C at constant pressure, the new volume of nitrogen is?

A.

17.4 cm3

B.

14.7 cm3

C.

27.3 cm3

D.

31.7 cm3

Correct answer is C

(V1)/(T1) = (V2)/(T2) (288 cm3)/(288) = (V2)/(273)
V2 = (288 x 273)/(288) = 273 cm3

When air is compressed?

A.

its density decreases

B.

it solidifies

C.

its temperature decreases

D.

its temperature increases

E.

its temperature remains unchanged

Correct answer is D

Compressed air is a gas, or a combination of gases, that has been put under greater pressure than the air in the general environment.

When you pressurize a gas by compressing it into a container, you're putting all those molecules into a smaller volume of space and you're adding potential energy by the compression.

Gay Lussac's Law - states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.
