the pressure needed on H2 tank is 34.9477319atm and the pressure needed in O2 tanks is 16.7690007atm .

Given , to study a key fuel-cell reaction , a chemical engineer has 20.0L tanks of H2 and O2 and wants to use up both tanks to form 28.0mol of water at 23.8°C .

the reaction of the fuel cell is given by ,

H2(g) +1/2 O2 ( g) →H2O

Moles of H2 required = 28 mol

moles of O2 required = 14mol

Now according to van der waals equation ,

p= (nRT/ V-nb)  - an^2 / V^2

for H2 , a = 0.2453L^2bar /mol^2 , b= 0.02651L/mol

P for H2

= (28×0.0821×296.8/20-28×0.02651 ) -(0.2456 ×28×28/20×20)

P for H2 = 35.4291079-0.481376 = 34.9477319 atm

for O2 ,  a = 1.38L^2bar/mol^2 , b = 0.03186L/mol

P for O2 = (14×0.0821×296.8 /20-14×0.03186) - (1.382×14×14/20×20)

P for O2 = 17.4461807 - 0.67718 =16.7690007 atm

Hence , the pressure needed on H2 tank is 34.9477319atm and the pressure needed in O2 tanks is 16.7690007atm .

How are elements and compounds related
Lisa [10]
Elements are a one of a class of substances that cannot be seperwted into simpler substances by chemicalk means. Compounds is a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together. Relation: When two elements or more are formed chemically together its called a compound without elements there won't be compounds and without compounds there won't be elements.

When 25.0 mL of a solution of 1.4 x 10-3 M silver nitrate is mixed with 60.0 mL of a solution of 7.5 x 10-4 M sodium chloride a)
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Step  one write  the  equation  for  dissociation  of  AgNO3  and  NaCl

that  is   AgNO3-------> Ag+   + NO3-

            NaCl-------->   Na+   +  Cl-
then  find  the  number  of  moles  of  each  compound
that  is  for   AgNO3  = ( 1.4 x10^-3 ) x  25/1000=  3.5  x10^-5  moles
                     Nacl=  (7.5  x10^-4)x 60/1000=  4.5  x10^-5  moles

from   mole  ratio  the  moles  of    Ag+=  3.5  x10^-5 moles  and  that  of  Cl-= 4.5  x10^-4 moles

  then find  the  total    volume  of  the  mixture
that  is  25ml  +  60 Ml  =85ml  =  0.085 liters

The  Ksp  of  Agcl =  (Ag+) (cl-),    let  the  concentration  of  Ag+ be  represented   by  x  and   also  the  concentration  be  represented by  x

ksp (1.8 x10^-10)  is  therefore=  x^2

find  the  square  root   x=1.342   x10^-5

Ag+ in  final  mixture  is =  moles  of  Ag+/total  volume - x
that is  {(3.5  x10^-5)/0.085}  -  1.342  x10^-5=3.98x10^-4


Cl-  in  the  final  mixture   is =(4.5  x10^-5 /0.085)  -  1.342  x10^-5= 5.16 x10^-4
