The Mass of oxygen in isolated sample is 8.6 g

<h3>What is the Law of Constant composition?</h3>

The law of constant composition states that pure samples of the same compound contain the same element in the same ratio by mass irrespective of the source from which the compound is obtained.

Considering the given ascorbic acid samples:

Laboratory sample contains 1.50 gg of carbon and 2.00 gg of oxygen

mass ratio of oxygen to carbon is 2 : 1.5

Isolated sample will contain 2/1.5 * 6.45 g of oxygen.

Mass of oxygen in isolated sample = 8.6 g

In conclusion, the mass of oxygen is determined from the mass ratio of oxygen and carbon in the compound.

Note that the complete question is given below:

A sample of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is synthesized in the laboratory. It contains 1.50 g of carbon and 2.00 g of oxygen. Another sample of ascorbic acid isolated from citrus fruits contains 6.45 gg of carbon. According to the law of constant composition, how many grams of oxygen does this isolated sample contain?

Express the answer in grams to three significant figures.

A student balances the following redox reaction using half-reactions.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: 6.

Explanation:

1) Aluminum

$Al^0-3e^----\ \textgreater \ Al^{3+}$

So each atom of aluminum lost 3 electrons to pass from 0 oxidation state to 3+ oxidation state.

2) Manganesium

$Mn^{2+}+2e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ Mn$

So, each ion of Mn(2+) gained 2 electrons pass from 2+ oxidation state to 0.

3) Balance

Multiply aluminum half-reaction (oxidation) by 2 and multiply manganesium half-raction (reduction) by 3:

$2Al^{0}-6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}

3Mn^{2+}+6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 3Mn^{0}$

4) Net equation

Add the two half-equations:

$2Al^{0}+3Mn^{2+}----\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}+3Mn^{0}$

As you see the left side has 2 Al, 3Mn, and 3*2 positive charges.

The right side has 2 Al, 3 Mn, and 2*3 positive charges.

So, the equation is balanced.

5) Count the number of electrons involved.

As you see 2 atoms of aluminum lost 6 electrons (3 each).

That is the answer to the question. 6 electrons will be lost.

A gas has a pressure of 8.5atm and occupies 24L at 25∘C. What volume (in liters) will the gas occupy if the pressure is increase

Vesna [10]

The volume (in liters) that the gas will occupy if the pressure is increased to 13.5 atm and the temperature is decreased to 15 °C is 15 L

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 8.5 atm

Initial volume (V₁) = 24 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 °C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Final pressure (P₂) = 13.5 atm

Final temperature (T₂) = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288 K

<h3>Final volume (V₂) =? </h3>

The final volume of the gas can be obtained by using the combined gas equation as illustrated below:

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\\\frac{8.5 * 24}{298} = \frac{13.5 * V_{2}}{288}\\\\ \frac{204}{298} = \frac{13.5 * V_{2}}{288}\\\\$

Cross multiply

298 × 13.5 × V₂ = 204 × 288

4023 × V₂ = 58752

Divide both side by 4023

$V_{2} = \frac{58752}{4023}\\\\$

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 15 L

Help! Need it ASAP!<br> Is steam and vapour different? If they are then how are they different?

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water vapor is when water molecules are present in the air, while steam is water heated to the point that it turns into gas. In simplified science, both are referred to as the gaseous state of water. Steam is usually white or translucent in nature, while water vapor can be clear or translucent.

Steam is simply, water vapor. Hence, the key difference between steam and vapor is that steam is the gaseous state of water whereas vapor is the gaseous state of any substance. Moreover, steam is typically invisible while the vapor of some substances is colorful.
