The reaction  for  equation is    written  as  follows

2Cs (s) +  2H2O(l) =  2CsOH (aq) +  H2  (g)

The  mass  of  cesium  is  calculated  as  follows

Find  the  moles  of  H2  by use  of  ideal  gas  equation  that is  Pv = nRT
where  n  is  the  number of   moles

 n  =  PV/RT
P=  48.1  ml    in  liters  =  48.1  /1000= 0.0481 l
T=  19 +  273.15 =  292.15K
P=  768mm hg
R (gas  Constant)=  62.364 l.
mmhg/k.mol

n= ( 768mmhg  x0.0481 L) /( 62.364 L.mm hg/k.mol  x  292.15k) =  2.028  x10^-3  moles

by   use  of  mole  ratio from  reacting  equation between  Cs to  H2    which  is   2 :1  the  moles  of Cs  is therefore  =  ( 2.028  x10^-3)  x  2 =  4.05  x10^-3 moles

mass  of  cs is therefore  =  moles  x  molar  mass  of  cs(  132.9g/mol)

=( 4.05  x10^-3)mol  x  132.9 g/mol  =  0.539  grams

Argon (Ar) and helium (He) are initially in separate compartments of a container at 25°C. The
love history [14]

Answer:

(a) V_B=11.68L

(b) x_{He}=0.533

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the both gases behave ideally, with the given information we can compute the moles of He in A:

n_A=\frac{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298K}{1.974 atm*6.00L}=2.063mol

Thus, since the final pressure is 3.60 bar, we can write:

P=x_{Ar}P_A+x_{He}P_B\\\\P=\frac{n_{Ar}}{n_{Ar}+n_{He}} P_A+\frac{n_{He}}{n_{Ar}+n_{He}} P_B\\\\3.60bar=\frac{2.063mol}{2.063mol+n_{He}} *2.00bar+\frac{n_{He}}{2.063mol+n_{He}} *5.00bar

The moles of helium could be computed via solver as:

n_{He}=2.358mol

Or algebraically:

3.60bar=\frac{1}{2.063mol+n_{He}} *(4.0126+5.00*n_{He})\\\\7.314+3.60n_{He}=4.013+5.00*n_{He}\\\\7.314-4.013=5.00*n_{He}-3.60n_{He}\\\\n_{He}=\frac{3.3}{1.4}=2.358mol

In such a way, the volume of the compartment B is:

V_B=\frac{n_{He}RT}{P_B}=\frac{2.358mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298.15K}{4.935atm}\\  \\V_B=11.68L

Finally, he mole fraction of He is:

x_{He}=\frac{2.358}{2.358+2.063}\\ \\x_{He}=0.533

Regards.

As a barometer rises, what kind of weather can be expected
suter [353]
When the barometer rises it means air pressure goes up. When that happens there is clear skies and little clouds. So you would be expecting hotter weather.

A placebo is a substance that is unlikely to affect the dependent variable.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer : Option a) True.

Explanation : A placebo is a substance that is unlikely to affect the dependent variable. True as in a clinical trial for any change in the placebo arm is known as the placebo response, and the difference between this placebo response and the result of no treatment is called as the placebo effect. Therefore, a placebo may be given to any person in a clinical context in order to deceive that recipient into thinking that it is an part of active treatment. It actually resembles a drug but is not an actual active drug, so, it is clear that it will not affect dependent variable.
