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>

Three 1.0-l flasks, maintained at 308 k, are connected to each other with stopcocks. initially the stopcocks are closed. one of
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

0.6103 atm.

Explanation:

  • We need to calculate the vapor pressure of each component after the stopcocks are opened.
  • Volume after the stopcocks are opened = 3.0 L.

<u><em>1) For N₂:</em></u>

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = 1.5 atm & V₁ = 1.0 L & V₂ = 3.0 L.

P₂ of N₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂ = (1.5 atm) (1.0 L) / (3.0 L) = 0.5 atm.

<u><em>2) For H₂O:</em></u>

Pressure of water at 308 K is 42.0 mmHg.

we need to convert from mmHg to atm: <em>(1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg)</em>.

P of H₂O = (1.0 atm x 42.0 mmHg) / (760.0 mmHg) = 0.0553 atm.

We must check if more 2.2 g of water is evaporated,

n = PV/RT = (0.0553 atm) (3.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K) (308 K) = 0.00656 mole.

m = n x cmolar mass = (0.00656 mole) (18.0 g/mole) = 0.118 g.

It is lower than the mass of water in the flask (2.2 g).

<em><u>3) For C₂H₅OH:</u></em>

Pressure of C₂H₅OH at 308 K is 102.0 mmHg.

we need to convert from mmHg to atm: (1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg).

P of C₂H₅OH = (1.0 atm x 102.0 mmHg) / (760.0 mmHg) = 0.13421 atm.

We must check if more 0.3 g of C₂H₅OH is evaporated,

n = PV/RT = (0.13421 atm) (3.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K) (308 K) = 0.01594 mole.

m = n x molar mass = (0.01594 mole) (46.07 g/mole) = 0.7344 g.

<em>It is more than the amount in the flask (0.3 g), so the pressure should be less than 0.13421 atm.</em>

We have n = mass / molar mass = (0.30 g) / (46.07 g/mole) = 0.00651 mole.

So, P of C₂H₅OH = nRT / V = (0.00651 mole) (0.082 L.atm/mole.K) (308.0 K) / (3.0 L) = 0.055 atm.

  • <em>So, </em><em>total pressure</em><em> = </em><em>P of N₂ + P of H₂O + P of C₂H₅OH</em><em> = 0.5 atm + 0.0553 atm + 0.055 atm = </em><em>0.6103 atm</em><em>.</em>

The smallest possible particle of an element is a
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that still has the properties of that element. Atoms, in turn, are composed of subatomic particles, including negative electrons, positive protons, and neutral neutrons. The number of protons in an atom determines the element it represents.

Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 2.55 g
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

Explanation:

<em>Note: The question is incomplete. the complete question is given below:</em>

<em>Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 2.55 g of sodium and 3.93 g of chlorine. Being consistent with the law of constant composition, also called the law of definite proportions or law of definite composition, which set of masses could be the result of the decomposition of the other sample?</em>

<em>4.71 g of sodium and 3.30 g of chlorine</em>

<em>4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine</em>

<em>4.71 g of sodium and 1.31 g of chlorine</em>

<em>4.71 g of sodium and 13.7 g of chlorine</em>

The law of definite proportions states that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements combined in the same proportion by mass.

This means that irrespective of the source of any sample of a pure chemical compound, the constituents elements are always combined in the same mass ratio.

In the first sample, the mass ratio of Sodium to chlorine is given below:

mass of sodium = 2.55 g

mass of chlorine = 3.93 g

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 2.55 / 3.93 = 0.65

From the set of masses give above, we can determine the result of the decomposition of the second sample.

4.71 g of sodium and 3.30 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 3.30 = 1.43

4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 7.25 = 0.65

4.71 g of sodium and 1.31 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 1.31 = 3.59

4.71 g of sodium and 13.7 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 13.7 = 0.34

From the results above, the correct set of masses for the second sample is 4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

What is acide, Base and salt​
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

In acid – base chemistry, salts are ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. Basic salts contain the conjugate base of a weak acid, so when they dissolve in water, they react with water to yield a solution with pH greater than 7.0.

Why all goals cannot be met in economics?
muminat
The in the very definition of 'economics' explains why. Since, economics is a  social science that studies human behaviour, is a relationship *BETWEEN* ends and scarce means..
<span>
'ends' that is goals, and "scarce means" referred to the resources. So that is the economic problem, that there are *unlimited* wants but scarce resources. So the answer to this question is just: All goals cannot be reached because there are unlimited "goals", and few/limited resources.</span>
