What is the molar mass of 56.75 g of gas exerting a pressure of 2.87 atm on the walls of a 5.29 l container at 230 k?

1 answer:

8 0

We first need to find the number of moles of gas in the container
PV = nRT
where;
P - pressure - 2.87 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 290 802.75 Pa
V - volume - 5.29 x 10⁻³ m³
n - number of moles
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 230 K
substituting these values in the equation
290 802.75 Pa x 5.29 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 230 K
n = 0.804 mol
the molar mass = mass present / number of moles
molar mass of gas = 56.75 g / 0.804 mol
therefore molar mass is 70.6 g/mol

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with

grandymaker [24]

$\text{Hg} \text{O}$ and $\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}$ .

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})$
$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})$

First compound:

$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g$
$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g$

$n = m/M$ ; $0.6498 \; g$ of the first compound would contain

$n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$
$n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a $1:1$ ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be $\text{Hg} \text{O}$ where the subscript "1" is omitted.

Similarly, for the second compound

$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.016 \; g$
$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.4172 - 0.016 = 0.4012 \; g$

$n = m/M$ ; $0.4172 \; g$ of the first compound would contain

$n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.016 \; g / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.001 \; mol$
$n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.4012 \; g / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.002 \; mol$

$n(\text{Hg}) : n(\text{O}) \approx 2:1$ and therefore the empirical formula

$\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}$ .

Name 2 ways plants reproduce. give an example of each way.

cluponka [151]

Plants can reproduce through either sexual or asexual means. Sexual reproduction involves pollination helped by wind and or insects. Asexual reproduction involves tubers, bulbs and runners known as rhizomes and stolons as well as cuttings taken by humans.

In this reaction, what is the correct coefficient for hydrogen gas? ? h2 + ? o2 ? ? h2o

iragen [17]

To balance a chemical reaction, it is important to remember that the number of atoms of each element in the reactants and the product side should be equal. This is to follows the law of conservation of mass where mass cannot be created or destroyed. So, the total mass that is used to react should have the same value of the total mass of the substances produced from the reactants. The balanced chemical reaction would be written as follows:

<span> 2h2 + o2 = 2h2o

Reactant = Product
H = 4 = 4
O = 2 = 2

Therefore, the correct coefficient for the hydrogen gas would be 2.</span>
