Because of its high reactivity which element is normally obtained by the electrolysis

1 answer:

8 0

<span>Lithium has a property of high reactivity and to obtain lithium is through electrolysis of its fused salts. Because lithium is very reactive, it is not found free so electrolysis is use to split it apart to get it. Moreover, Lithium is an alkali metal with single valence electron that is easily given up to form cation, which make it a good conductor of heat and electricity.</span>

A cylinder with a moveable piston contains 0.552 mol of gas and has a volume of 259 mL . Part A What will its volume be if an ad

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The new volume will be 367mL

Explanation:

Using PV = nRT

V1 = 259mL = 0.000259L

n1 = 0.552moles

At constant temperature and pressure, the value is

P * 0.000259 = 0.552 * RT ------equation 1

= 0.552 / 0.000259

= 2131.274

V2 = ?

n2 = 0.552 + 0.232

n2 = 0.784mole

Using ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P * V2 = 0.784 * RT ---------- equation 2

Combining equations 1 and 2 we have;

V2 = 0.784 / 2131.274

V2 = 0.000367L

V2 = 367mL

Helium gas diffuses 4 times as fast as an unknown gas. What is relative molecular mass of the gas

Inessa05 [86]

The relative molecular mass of the gas : 64 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Helium rate = 4x an unknown gas

Required

The relative molecular mass of the gas

Solution

Graham's Law

$\tt \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1} }$

r₁=4 x r₂

r₁ = Helium rate

r₂ = unknown gas rate

M₁= relative molecular mass of Helium = 4 g/mol

M₂ = relative molecular mass of the gas

Input the value :

$\tt \dfrac{4r_2}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{4} }\\\\16=\dfrac{M_2}{4}\\\\M_2=64~g/mol$
