Explanation:

Defining law of definite proportions, it states that when two elements form more than one compound, the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers.

A. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn.

Mass of the oxide = 100g

Mass of Mn = 63.2 g

Mass of O = 100 - 63.2

= 36.8 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 63.2/36.8

= 1.72

Another oxide (Oxide 2) contains 77.5% Mn.

Mass of oxide = 100 g

Mass of Mn = 77.5 g

Mass of O = 100 - 77.5

= 22.5 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 77.5/22.5

= 3.44

Therefore, the ratio of the masses of Mn and O in Oxide 1 and Oxide 2 is in the ratio 1.72 : 3.44, which is also 1 : 2. So the law of multiple proportions is obeyed.

B.

Oxide 1

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.

Oxide 2

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.

A gas occupies 3.5L at 2.5 kPa pressure. What is the volume at 100 mmHg at the same temperature? Be sure to
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.656 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 3.5 L

Initial pressure = 2.5 KPa

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 100 mmHg (100/7.501=13.33 KPa)

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

2.5 KPa × 3.5 L = 13.33 KPa × V₂

V₂ = 8.75 KPa. L/13.33 KPa

V₂ = 0.656 L

How many molecules of sulfur trioxide are in 78.0 grams?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

b) 5.87 E23 molecules

Explanation:

∴ mm SO3 = 80.066 g/mol

⇒ molecules SO3 = (78.0 g)(mol/80.066 g)(6.022 E23 molec/mol)

⇒ molec SO3 = 5.866 E23 molecules SO3
