a. 0.00189 kg

b. 18.552 mN

c. 1.363 kN

d. Since the molecular density is high, the force exerted by the sample is thus high.

Explanation:

(a) Find the mass of the gas. kg

Using PV = mRT/M where P = pressure on gas = atmospheric pressure = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa, V = volume of gas = L³ where L = length of cube = 11.6 cm = 0.116 cm,m = mas of gas, R = molar gas constant = 8.314 J/mol-K, T = temperature of gas = 291 K and M = molar mass of gas = 28.9 g/mol

So, m = PVM/RT = PL³M/RT

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

m = PL³M/RT

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa × (0.116)³ × 28.9 g/mol/ 8.314 J/mol-K × 291 K

= 0.0457 × 10⁵ Pa g/mol/2419.374J/mol

= 1.89 × 10⁻⁵ × 10⁵ g

= 1.89 g

= 1.89 × 10⁻³kg

= 0.00189 kg

(b) Find the gravitational force exerted on it. mN

The gravitational force, F exerted on it is its weight W

So, F = W = mg where m = mass of gas = 1.89 × 10⁻³ kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F = mg

= 1.89 × 10⁻³ kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 18.522 × 10⁻³ kgm/s²

= 18.552 × 10⁻³ N

= 18.552 mN

Since pressure, P = F/A where F = force exerted on each face and A = area of each face = L² where L = length of side of cube = 11.6 cm = 0.116 m

So, F = PA since P = atmospheric pressure = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa,

F = PL²

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa (0.116 m)²

= 0.01363 × 10⁵ N

= 1.363 × 10³ N

= 1.363 kN

(d) Why does such a small sample exert such a great force

To answer this question, we need to find the density of the gas in the cube.

So density of gas,ρ = m/V where m = mass of gas = 1.89 g and V = volume of gas = L³ and L = length of side of cube = 11.6 cm

ρ = m/V = m/L³ = 1.89 g/(11.6 cm)³ = 1.89 g/1560.896 cm³ = 0.00121 g/cm³

We now find the number of moles of gas in a cm³ by dividing its density by its molar mass.

So n = ρ/M = 0.00121 g/cm³ ÷ 28.9 g/mol = 23687.67 mol/cm³

Since there are 6.022 × 10²³/mol, we find the number of molecules in a cm³ which is n × 6.022 × 10²³/mol = 23687.67 mol/cm³ × 6.022 × 10²³/mol

= 143731.1 × 10²³ molecules/cm³

= 1.437311 × 10²⁸ molecules/cm³

≅ 1.44 × 10²⁸ molecules/cm³

Since the molecular density is high, the force exerted by the sample is thus high.

To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the conductor. a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. the external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. the conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge. part a: which of the following describes the electric field inside this conductor? it is in the same direction as the original external field.it is in the opposite direction from that of the original external field.it has a direction determined entirely by the charge on its surface.it is always zero. part b: the charge density inside the conductor is: 0non-zero; but uniformnon-zero; non-uniforminfinite part c: assume that at some point just outside the surface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitude e and is directed toward the surface of the conductor. what is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point? express your answer in terms of e and ϵ0

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
