Gas released from the constraints of a container, will rapidly spread out and be dissipated into the atmosphere. An aerosol canister of air freshener sprayed into a room is a prime example.

What happens to the temperature of a gas if the number of moles of gas in increased?

If you increase the temperature of a gas, its particles (atoms or molecules) will speed up. If it is in a closed container, the pressure will also increase.


What happens to the magnesium atoms when you mix it with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Let's see. Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2 You produce a salt, magnesium chloride, and hydrogen gas ( should see the hydrogen gas effusing ) from this reaction.


What happens when you add Fe to hydrochloric acid?

Let's see. Assume iron II. Fe + 2HCl --> FeCl2 + H2 You get the products Iron (II) chloride ( ferrous chloride ) and hydrogen gas.


What happens when you combine sulfuric acid and iron?

Let's see. Using the 2 oxidation state of iron. Fe + H2SO4 -> FeSO4 + H2 Ferrous sulphate and hydrogen gas are produced by this reaction.


If a container of compressed gas has a volume of 500mL with pressure of 1285 torr is opened and gas escapes into the atmosphere with pressure of 768 torr What will the new volume of the gas be?

Ideal gas law is represented as pV = nRT where p is absolute pressure and V is volume of the container holding the gas and n is the amount of gas in moles (a molecular unit of measure in chemistry) and R is known as the universal gas constant and T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvins (absolute temperature) R is a constant (always), and so is 'n' in your particular scenario, since no gas is being added or subtracted during the compression of a closed Volume. You did not give a temperature, nor a change in temperature, so let T also be a constant in this case. The change in T is considered negligible (let's say it was compressed very slowly.) Now let us solve the ideal gas law equation algebraically for p (pressure.) pV = nRT divide both sides by V, therefore p = (nRT/V) We have established that n, R, and T are constants for this problem. Let us set nRT equal to 1, for simplicity. 1 is a good constant, refusing to be anything but itself as no addition or subtraction is involved in our equation. p = (1/V) or p is inversely proportional to Volume in our ideal gas scenario. Solving for oneness (multiply both sides by V) to make our simplified equation: 1 = pV p2V2 = p1V1 solving for p2 p2 = (p1V1/V2) p2 = 3.4 Torr X (500 mL/302 mL) p2 = 3.4 Torr x 1.656 p2 = 5.6 Torr

What happens if you heat a liquid in a closed container?

Pressure in the container gets higher because of the steam deriving from water, and if you do not let the steam out it will probably explode in a short time.


How do you drain the gas from an go kart?

Usually it's easiest to detach the fuel pipe from the carb and let it drain into a container.


How do you drain the gas from a 2003 Honda XR80?

Get a solid container for the gas you want to drain. Loosen and remove the fuel line for them petcock below the gas tank. Open the petcock and let the fuel run into the container. If you want to remove the fuel from the carburetor, then you have to remove it and open the bottom half of it.


What happens if you store coca cola in sunlight?

It will eventually burst (if you leave it long enough), as the particles would move around more in the heat. When this happens, the pressure increases. Once there is more pressure in the inside of the container than the outide of the container, the particles would try to escape. If the lid is open the particles will escape from there otherwise the container would burst to let the particles escape.

What happens when you burn the bubbles from hydrogen peroxide which gases does it let off?

H2O2 gives off Oxygen, O2, this gas does not burn (= react with oxygen). No H2 is let off!


How do you separate oil and water in a container?

they separete on their own if you let the container sit, the oil rises to the top


Why liquids are used in thermometers?

They are used in thermometers to let us see the heat of the object you are measuring, if you use solid, it wouldn't be able to move up, if you use gas, it will fill the whole container, so it's better to use liquid


Why does the bottom of a tire pump feel hot when you pump air in the tire but when air is released the valve stem feels cool?

Because when you compress a gas like airit gets warm - which is what happens to the pump. And when a gas like air is allowed to expand, which is what happens when you let it out of the tire, it cools off - which is what happens to the valve.


When was Let's Go Do What Happens created?

Let's Go Do What Happens was created in 1998.


A quantity of gas has a volume of 0.02 cubic meter and an absolute temperature of 333 degrees k when the temperature of the gas is raised to 533 degrees k what is the new volume of the gas?

533/333 = 1.6 If the container is rigid, then the volume doesn't change, but the pressure becomes 1.6 times what it was originally. If the container is expandable, and you let it expand until the pressure is the same as it was originally, then the volume is 1.6 times its original size, or 0.032 cubic meter.


How do you prevent ice crystals on an opened container of ice cream?

Keep the lid on it and dont let any air into the container.


Can an oxygen can be half empty?

Gases expand to fill the container that they are in. If you had a tank of oxygen and let half of it out, you would have half the amount of oxygen you started with. However, since the half of the oxygen that remained spread out to fill the container, there won't be empty space.
