Answer:

138.57 g/mol.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Temperature (T) = 23.8 °C

Pressure = 432 mmHg

Density (D) = 3.23 g/L

Next, we shall obtain an expression for the density in relation to molar mass, pressure and temperature.

This can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as shown below:

PV = nRT.... (1)

Recall:

Mole (n) = maas(m) /Molar mass (M)

n = m/M

Substituting the value of n into equation 1

PV = nRT

PV = mRT/M

Divide both side by P

V = mRT/MP

Divide both side by m

V/m = RT/MP

Invert the above equation

m/V = MP /RT..... (2)

Recall:

Density (D) = mass(m) /volume (V)

D = m/V

Replace m/V with D in equation 2

m/V = MP /RT

D = MP /RT

Thus, with the above formula we can obtain the molar mass of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) as shown below:

Temperature (T) = 23.8 °C = 23.8 °C + 273 = 296.8 K

Pressure = 432 mmHg = 432/760 = 0.568 atm

Density (D) = 3.23 g/L

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Molar mass (M) =..?

D = MP /RT

3.23 = M x 0.568 / 0.0821 x 296.8

Cross multiply

M x 0.568 = 3.23 x 0.0821 x 296.8

Divide both side by 0.568

M = (3.23 x 0.0821 x 296.8) / 0.568

M = 138.57 g/mol

Therefore the molar mass of CFC is 138.57 g/mol.

What is the balanced form of the following equation? Br 2 + S 2 O 3 2– + H 2 O → Br 1– + SO 4 2– + H +
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Explanation:

Br₂ +  S₂O₃²⁻  + H₂O  → Br⁻ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺

This is a redox reaction:

Br₂ changes the oxidation state from 0 to -1, so it was reduced

In the S₂O₃⁻² anion S changes the oxidation state from +2 to +6 in sulfate anion. (S₂O₃⁻², it is called thiosulfate)

We have protons in the main equation, so we assume we are in acidic medium:

Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻         Reduction

We balanced the bromide with 2, so the bromine has gained 2 electrons.

<u>5H₂O</u> + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + <u>10H⁺</u> + <em>8e</em>-  Oxidation

First of all, we add 2 to the sulfate anion in the product side, in order to balance the S.

As we have 8 O in right side, and 3 O in left side, we must add 5 O. We add 5 water in the place where the O are lower (reactant side).

Now, we have 10 H, in the reactant side, so we balance the product side with protons (10 H⁺).

Sulfur changed the oxidation state from +2 to +6, so it released 4 electrons, but, if you see thiosulfate anion you have 2 sulfurs so finally it has released 8 electrons.

Electrons are unbalanced so we multiply reduction x4, and oxidation x1.

(Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻) . 4 = 4Br₂ + 8e⁻ → 8Br⁻

(5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>-) . 1 = STAYS THE SAME.

We sum both half reactions, to cancel the elecetrons:

4Br₂ + 8e⁻ + 5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻  → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>- + 8Br⁻

Finally the balanced reaction is: 4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻
