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 .

victus00 [196]

Answer: Strictly a laboratory analysis and can only be done using the data obtained during analysis

Explanation:

To find a solution to this problem, you need to use the data collected during the lab work. A guide could be finding the possible forms of hydrated copper chlorides in reference books. Since it's also a lab work, you can definitely compare your data with lab mates.

The formula CuxCly.zH₂O and its name chloride hydrate already gives you an idea of the possibilities of the value of the integers, hence you can take a good guess for the identity of the unknown salt and calculate the theoretical formular weight for it. From the that you can proceed to also find the mass of water and copper from your lab analysis.

A balloon contains 0.140 molmol of gas and has a volume of 2.78 LL . If an additional 0.152 molmol of gas is added to the balloo
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The final volume will be 5.80 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles gas = 0.140 moles

Volume of gas = 2.78 L

Number of moles added = 0.152 moles

Step 2: Calculate the final volume

V1/n1 = V2/n2

⇒ with V1 = the initial volume = 2.78 L

⇒ with n1 = the initial number of moles = 0.140 moles

⇒ with  V2 = The new volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with n2 = the new number of moles = 0.140 + 0.152 = 0.292 moles

2.78/0.140 = V2 /0.292

V2 = 5.80 L

The final volume will be 5.80 L

Rn-222 has a half-life of 3.82 days. If 25.0 g of Radon-22 was originally present, approximately how many grams would be left af
horsena [70]

Answer:

Approximately 0.39 g or 0.4 g if you're rounding up

Explanation:

15/3.82 = 3.92

Let's round that up to 4

That means 15 days is around 4 half lives

4 half lives means 1/16 of the original mass will be left

25/16 = 0.390625
