To solve the question we will assume that the gas behaves like an ideal gas, that is to say, that there is no interaction between the molecules. Assuming ideal gas we can apply the following equation:
Where,
P is the pressure of the gas
V is the volume of the gas
n is the number of moles
R is a constant
T is the temperature
Now, we have two states, an initial state, and a final state. The conditions for each state will be.
Initial state (1)
P1=975Torr=1.28atm
V1=3.8L
T1=-18°C=255.15K
Final state(2), STP conditions
P2=1atm
T2=273.15K
V2=?
We will assume that the number of moles remains constant, so the nR term of the first equation will be constant. For each state, we will have:
Since nR is the same for both states, we can equate the equations and solve for V2:
We replace the known values:
At STP conditions the gas would occupy 5.2L. First option
A catalyst
A catalyst can be in many forms
Hey there!
It is evident that the problem gives the mass of the bottle with the calcite, with water and empty, which will allow us to calculate the masses of both calcite and water. Moreover, with the given density of water, it will be possible to calculate its volume, which turns out equal to that of the calcite.
In this case, it turns out possible to solve this problem by firstly calculating the mass of calcite present into the bottle, by using its mass when empty and the mass when having the calcite:
Now, we calculate the volume of the calcite, which is the same to that had by water when weights 13.5441 g by using its density:
Thus, the density of the calcite sample will be:
This result makes sense, as it sinks in chloroform but floats on bromoform as described on the last part of the problem, because this density is between 1.444 and 2.89. g/mL

If you increase recycling, there will be less garbage for the landfills I guess.
