If a gas at 35°C and 2.3 atm is heated to 50°C, then what will the new pressure be? (Gay Lussac's Law) Remember to convert Celsius tempertature into Kelvin. (Take the Celsius values and add 273)

THE NEW PRESSURE OF THE GAS AT 50 °C IS 2.41 atm.

Explanation:

Initial temperature = 35 °C = 35 + 273 K= 308 K

Final temperature = 50 °C =50 + 273 K = 323 K

Initial pressure = 2.3 atm

Final pressure = unknown

Using the combined gas equation to get the relationship between pressure and temperature for a given gas sample, we have;

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

P2 = P1 T2 / T1

P2 = 2.3 * 323 / 308

P2 = 742.9 /308

P2 = 2.41 atm.

THE NEW PRESSURE IS 2.41 atm at 50 °C

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
