True and False: If the statement is true, write "true." If it is false, change the underlined word or words to make the statement true. Write your answer on the line provided. 1. Real gases behave like ideal gases except at very high temperatures. 2. The gas constant, R, is equal to 0.0821 when the pressure is expressed in kilopascals. 3. As more gas particles are added to a container, there are fewer collisions because the particles don't go as far. 4. The number of moles of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at STP. 5. Real gases behave like ideal gases except at very high pressure. 6. At a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by one mole of a gas decreases if the volume available is increased. 7. The ideal gas equation will only give correct values if the temperature in expressed in degrees Celcius. 8. One mole of oxygen at 760. mm Hg and 0 °C occupies a volume of one L. Matching: Match each variable listed on the left with the appropriate unit of measurement listed…

Would like answers for part B and C ONLY please-need info from part a to answer them. I already solved part a) 1)Energy Efficiency at Home : Suppose you have two kettles – a plug-in electrickettle and a stovetop kettle. The electric kettle uses electricity from a natural gas fired powerplant, while you boil water in your stovetop kettle on a natural gas burner. a)Based on the following information, which of these kettles demonstrates a higher energy efficiency (i.e., which is more efficient at using energy from fuel to heat water)? Please calculate the efficiencies of each kettle and express answers as percentages. -The natural gas power plant converts chemical energy of the natural gas to electrical energy with 58% efficiency. -High-voltage power lines from the power plant to your house convey electricity with 92% efficiency. -The electric kettle converts electrical energy to thermal energy in the water with 85% efficiency (the other 15% heats up the kettle itself). -The stove…

Answer the following questions. Show your complete solution if necessary. 1. Jogging every day is good for your health. Assume that when you jog a work of 500 kJ is done and 230 kJ of heat is given off. What is the change in the internal energy of your body? 2. What is the change in the internal energy of a system when a total of 150.00 J is transferred by heat from the system and 159.00 J is done by work on the system?
