an ideal gas is confined to a container with adjustable volume. the number of moles, n, and temperature, t, are constant. by what factor will the volume change if pressure increase by a factor of 5.1

The volume will decrease by a factor of 10/51.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since both moles and temperature remain constant, we can use the Boyle's law that relates the volume and pressure as an inversely proportional relationship:

Thus, since the pressure increases by a factor of 5.1 (statement), we have:

Thus, the final volume is:

It means that the volume will decrease by a factor of 10/51.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
