How many 3-liter balloons could the 12-L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm fill? Keep in mind that an "exhausted" helium tank i

s not empty. In other words, once the gas inside the tank reaches atmospheric pressure, it will no longer be able to fill balloons. Express the number of balloons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The 12L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm will fill <em>636 </em>3-liter balloons

Explanation:

It is possible to answer this question using Boyle's law:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Where P₁ is the pressure of the tank (160atm), V₁ is the volume of the tank (12L), P₂ is the pressure of the balloons (1atm, atmospheric pressure) And V₂ is the volume this gas will occupy at 1 atm, thus:

160atm×12L = 1atm×V₂

V₂ = 1920L

As the tank will never be empty, the volume of the gas able to fill balloons is the total volume minus 12L, thus the volume of helium able to fill balloons is:

1920L - 12L = 1908L

1908L will fill:

1908L×\frac{1balloon}{3L} = <em>636 balloons</em>

A 30ml sample of a liquid has a mass of 50 grams. What is the density of the liquid?
mash [69]

Answer:

<h2>Density = 1.67 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

Density =  \frac{mass}{volume}

From the question

mass = 50 g

volume = 30 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the density

That's

Density =  \frac{50}{30}  \\  =  \frac{5}{3}  \\  = 1.66666...

Wr have the final answer as

<h3>Density = 1.67 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Potassium nitrate has a lattice energy of -163.8 kcal/mol and a heat of hydration of -155.5 kcal/mol.
Brut [27]

Answer:

<em>293.99 g </em>

OR

<em>0.293 Kg</em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Lattice energy of Potassium nitrate (KNO3) = -163.8 kcal/mol

Heat of hydration of KNO3 = -155.5 kcal/mol

Heat to absorb by KNO3 = 101kJ

To find:

Mass of KNO3 to dissolve in water = ?

Solution:

Heat of solution = Hydration energy - Lattice energy

                           = -155.5 -(-163.8)

                           = 8.3 kcal/mol

We already know,

1 kcal/mol = 4.184 kJ/mole

Therefore,

= 4.184 kJ/mol x 8.3 kcal/mol

= 34.73 kJ/mol

Now, 34.73 kJ of heat is absorbed when 1 mole of KNO3 is dissolved in water.

For 101 kJ of heat would be

= 101/34.73

= 2.908 moles of KNO3

Molar mass of KNO3 = 101.1 g/mole

Mass of KNO3 = Molar mass x moles

                         = 101.1 g/mole  x  2.908

                         = 293.99 g

                         = 0.293 kg

<em><u>293.99 g potassium nitrate has to dissolve in water to absorb 101 kJ of heat. </u></em>

A 20.0 g piece of a metal is heated and place into a calorimeter containing 250.0 g of water initially at 25.0 oC. The final tem
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Q_{metal} = -6799\,J

Explanation:

By the First Law of Thermodynamics, the piece of metal and water reaches thermal equilibrium when water receives heat from the piece of metal. Then:

Q_{metal} = - Q_{w}

Q_{metal} = m_{w} \cdot c_{p,w}\cdot (T_{1}-T_{2})

Q_{metal} = (250\,g)\cdot \left(4.184\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (25\,^{\textdegree}C - 31.5\,^{\textdegree}C)

Q_{metal} = -6799\,J

Does potassium nitrate (KN03) incorporate ionic bonding, covalent bonding, or both? Explain.
ladessa [460]

Answer: KNO_3 incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as K^{+} cation and nitrate NO_3^{-} is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral KNO_3. NO_3^- is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals nitrogen and oxygen.

Thus KNO_3 incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.
