8. A gas filled balloon having a volume of 2.50 L at 1.21 atm and 25°C is allowed to rise to the stratosphere (~30km above the surface of the Earth), where the
temperature and pressure are -23°C and 3.00 x 10 atm, respectively. Calculate
the final volume of the balloon.

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. which postulate of kinetic molecular theory best explains how this is possible? a. attractive forces between gas particles are negligible because the particles of an ideal gas are moving so quickly. b. collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy. c. gases consist of a large number of small particles, with a lot of space between the particles. d. gas particles are in constant, random motion, and higher kinetic energy means faster movement.

Which of the following statements concerning the influence of culture on ethnic identity formation is accurate? a. one will reject ethnic identity if cultural stereotypes are encountered. b. if one’s ethnic city is different from the dominant cultural group, then one’s ethnic identity you will become weekend. c. if an the ethnic group is excepted by dominant culture, then ethnic identity formation can be a difficult process. d. similarity to the dominant culture can determine how easy it is for one to except ethnic differences.

Which of the following natural processes is most likely to support the formation of an underwater sinkhole? a pollution buildup from deposited minerals b limestone cave collapsing due to changes in sea level c erosion of large amounts of sand moved by ocean waves d oxidation of rock formed by chemical weathering
