A 1.42-g sample of a pure compound with formula m2so4 was dissolved in water and treated with an ex- cess of aqueous calcium chl
solong [7]

The reaction between m_{2}SO_{4} with calcium chloride can be shown as-m_{2}SO_{4}+CaCl_{2}→CaSO_{4}↓+2mCl. The molecular weight of CaSO_{4} is 136.14g. The weight of sulfate ion is 96.06g. The molecular weight of m_{2}SO_{4} = (2×m + 96.06). From the reaction we can see that 1 mole of calcium chloride reacts with 1 molesm_{2}SO_{4} to produce 1 mole of calcium sulfate. Now 1.36g of calcium sulfate is equivalent to 1.36/136.14=9.989×10^{-3} moles of calcium sulfate.

Thus, 9.989×10^{-3} moles of m_{2}SO_{4} reacts in this reaction.

Let assume the atomic mass of m is x thus the molecular weight of m_{2}SO_{4} is 2x+96.

So we may write 9.989×10^{-3}× (2x+96) =1.42

Or, 2x + 96 = 142.146

Or, 2x = 46.146

Or, x = 23.073

Thus the atomic mass of m is 23.073. The atom (m) is sodium (Na).

A closed container contains 0.40 moles of argon gas at 25 °C and a pressure of 740 torr. The container is heated to 125 °C and t
Ksivusya [100]

The number of moles of argon that must be released in order to drop.

Solution:

Initial Temperature = 25°c = 298 K

Final Temperature =125 °c = 398 K

Initial Moles (n1) = 0.40 mole

Now,  Using the ideal gas law,

n1T1 = n2T2

0.400×298 = n2 × 398

n2 = 0.299 mol

Moles of Argon released

= 0.400-0.299

= 0.100 mol.

Pressure and force are related. That is using the physical equations if you know the other, you can calculate one using pressure = force/area. This pressure can be reported in pounds per square inch, psi, or Newtons per square meter N/m2. Kinetic energy causes air molecules to move faster. They hit the walls of the container more often and with greater force. The increased pressure inside the can may exceed the strength of the can and cause an explosion.

The Henry's law constant (kH) for O2 in water at 20°C is 1.28 × 10−3 mol/(L·atm). (a) How many grams of O2 will dissolve in 4.00
Burka [1]

Answer:

Solubility of O₂(g) in 4L water = 3.42 x 10⁻² grams O₂(g)

Explanation:

Graham's Law => Solubility(S) ∝ Applied Pressure(P) => S =k·P

Given P = 0.209Atm & k = 1.28 x 10⁻³mol/L·Atm

=> S = k·P = (1.28 x 10⁻³ mole/L·Atm)0.209Atm = 2.68 x 10⁻³ mol O₂/L water.

∴Solubility of O₂(g) in 4L water at 0.209Atm = (2.68 x 10⁻³mole O₂(g)/L)(4L)(32 g O₂(g)/mol O₂(g)) = <u>3.45 x 10⁻² grams O₂(g) in 4L water. </u>
