At melting point of a substance the supplied heat is utilized to change the state so temperature remains constant till all the material is converted into liquid, this is known asLatent heat of fusion.

Does an increase in pressure at constant temperature increase the rate constant of a reversible reaction in both directions?

The rate constant is unaffected, as demonstrated by Arrhenius equation: k = Ae^(-E/RT) where A is the pre-exponential factor (constant for a particular reaction) E is the activation energy R is the molar gas constant T is the thermodynamic temperature However, when pressure is increased at constant temperature for a gaseous reversible reaction, the concentrations of every reactant and product increase by the SAME factor. Since Kp (pressure equilibrium constant) is to remain constant, it means that the position of equilibrium will shift in such a way so as to decrease the total number of moles of gaseous species. Note: This answer can be improved by proving the last statement using a general example which, due to lack of time, I skipped. (Although some people might get the logic!!!)


If a gas is compressed from 4 L to 1 L and the temperature remains constant what happens to the temperature?

If a gas is compressed from 4 L to 1 L while maintaining a constant temperature, the pressure of the gas will increase according to Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely related at constant temperature. Therefore, as the volume decreases, the pressure rises to keep the temperature constant. The temperature itself does not change in this scenario; it remains constant throughout the process.


Does solar constant affect temperature?

Yes, the solar constant affects temperature by determining the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth's atmosphere. A higher solar constant can lead to an increase in temperature, while a lower solar constant can result in cooler temperatures.


Which variables must be kept constant for Boyle's law to hold?

Temperature and the amount of gas (moles) must be kept constant for Boyle's law to hold true. This means the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional provided the temperature and amount of gas remain constant.


When the volume and number of particles of a gas are constant is also constant?

The temperature and pressure.

Is the rate constant dependent on temperature?

Yes, the rate constant of a reaction is typically dependent on temperature. As temperature increases, the rate constant usually increases as well. This relationship is described by the Arrhenius equation, which shows how the rate constant changes with temperature.


What is the constant and the variables in Boyles law?

In Boyle's law, the constant is the temperature of the gas. The variables are the pressure and volume of the gas. Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.


What is Boltzman's constant?

The Boltzman's constant is the physical constant relating to temperature to energy.


When the temperature is constant will the the volume of a gas decrease as the pressure decreases?

At constant temperature p.V=constant, so pressure INcreases when decreasing the volume.

Does the gas constant R vary with temperature?

No, the gas constant, or any constant, is constant meaning it doesn't change.


Which biome has a constant temperature?

The tropical rainforest biome typically has a more constant temperature due to its proximity to the equator. The consistent sunlight and high levels of humidity help maintain a stable temperature range.
