A gas cylinder contains exactly 15 moles of oxygen gas (O2). How many molecules of oxygen are in the cylinder?

5. What are the relative rates of diffusion for methane, CH, and oxygen, O2? If O2 la travels 1.00 m in a certain amount of time

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. Mathematically written as:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

We are given:

Molar mass of methane gas, m = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen gas,m' = 32 g/mol

By taking their ratio, we get:

$\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{m'}{m}}$

$\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{16}}=1.4142$

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

If oxygen gas travels 1 meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of oxygen = $d_{O_2}=\frac{1 m}{t}$

If methane gas travels travels in y meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of methane= $d_{CH_4}=\frac{y }{t}$

$\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\frac{\frac{y }{t}}{\frac{1 m}{t}}=1.4142$

y = 1.4142 m

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

Aluminum and oxygen react according to the following equation: 4Al + 3O2 -> 2Al2O3 In a certain experiment, 4.6g Al was react

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Percent yield: 78.2%

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

<em>4 moles of Al produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃</em>

<em />

To find percent yield we need to find theoretical yield (Assuming a yield of 100%) and using:

(Actual yield (6.8g) / Theoretical yield) × 100

Moles of 4.6g of Al (Molar mass: 26.98g/mol) are:

4.6g Al × (1mol / 26.98g) = 0.1705 moles of Al.

As 4 moles of Al produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃, theoretical moles of Al₂O₃ obtained from 0.1705 moles of Al are:

0.17505 moles Al × (2 moles Al₂O₃ / 4 moles Al) = <em>0.0852 moles of Al₂O₃</em>,

In grams (Molar mass Al₂O₃ = 101.96g/mol):

0.0852 moles of Al₂O₃ × (101.96g / mol) =

<h3>8.7g of Al₂O₃ can be produced (Theoretical yield)</h3>

Thus, Percent yield is:

(6.8g / 8.7g) × 100 =
