Answer to Question #148825 in General Chemistry for happy

Question

1. When a balloon is placed inside a freezer, what will happen to its volume? Which gas law will explain this prediction? How?
2. Can the different gas laws explain the existence of LPA (Low Pressure Area) and HPA (High Pressure Area)? Justify your answer.
3. How does Graham’s Law explain why we smell odors?

Answer 1

1.Balloon inside freezer will shrink due to decrease in kinetic energy of molecules present inside balloon.charles law is followed.

2. Yes LPA and HPA can be explained by gas laws while keeping volume constant high pressure area will be formed by increasing temperature and low pressure area will be formed by decreasing temperature.

3. Graham's law- the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of its particles.

Any gas having high molar mass will diffuse less and vice versa.
