What property of liquid oxygen makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home?

1 answer:

3 0

The property of liquid oxygen that makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home would be its cryogenic temperature. Liquid oxygen is being produced from the compression of oxygen gas to -196 degrees Celsius. As you can see, it has a very cold temperature that is why it used in cryogenics. Although liquid oxygen is non-toxic to humans, it would cause burns that are severe when being touched. Also, it would make certain materials brittle and unstable. Another property that makes it dangerous for use at home would be that it is very flammable. Proper handling is a must for this substance.

15g of magnesium (II) oxide decomposes, find the number of oxygen particles produced at 100% yield.

erastova [34]

2.258625 *10²³ oxygen atoms will be produced.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Decomposition reaction is defined as the type of reaction where one single reactant breaks to produce more than one product only by means of heat or other external factor.

Formula of magnesium oxide = MgO.

The molecular mass of magnesium oxide = 24 +16= 40.

So in 40 grams of magnesium oxide, number of molecules is 6.023 * 10²³.

So in 15 grams of magnesium oxide,, number of molecules is 6.023 *1023 * 15/40 = 2.258625 *10²³.

From one molecule of magnesium oxide, one oxide atom will be produced.

So number of oxide atoms with 100% yeild = 2.258625 *10²³

An ideal gas originally at 0.85 atm and 66°C was allowed to expand until its final volume, pressure and temperature were 94.0mL,

xeze [42]

Answer: The original volume in liters was 0.0707L

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 0.85 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 456 mm Hg = 0.60 atm (760mmHg=1atm)

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = ?

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 94.0 ml

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $66^oC=273+66=339K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $113^oF=318K$ $(32^0F=273K)$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{0.85\times V_1}{339}=\frac{0.60\times 94.0}{318}$

$V_1=70.7ml=0.0707L$ (1L=1000ml)

Thus the original volume in liters was 0.0707L

A chemist must prepare 800.0mL of sodium hydroxide solution with a pH of 12.10 at 25°C. She will do this in three steps: Fill a

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

0.42 g

Explanation:

pH = 12.10 (25 °C)

V = 800.0 mL = 0.800 L

To find the mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) we can use the pH:

$14 = pH + pOH$

$pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 12.10 = 1.90$

$pOH = -log ([OH^{-}])$

$[OH]^{-} = 10^{-pOH} = 10^{-1.90} = 0.013 M$

Now, we can find the number of moles (η) of OH:

$\eta = ([OH]^{-})*V = 0.013 mol/L * 0.800 L = 1.04 \cdot 10^{-2} moles$

Since we have 1 mol of OH in 1 mol of NaOH, the number of moles of NaOH is equal to 1.04x10⁻² moles.

Finally, with the number of moles we can find the mass of NaOH:

$m = \eta * M$

<em>Where M is the molar mass of NaOH = 39.9 g/mol </em>

$m = 1.04 \cdot 10^{-2} moles * 39.9 g/mol = 0.42 g$

Therefore, the mass of sodium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step is 0.42 g.

I hope it helps you!
