If 5.57 g of Ag2O is sealed in a 75.0-mL tube filled with 760 torr of N2 gas at 28 ∘C, and the tube is heated to 310 ∘C, the Ag2

Snezhnost [94]

Answer: Total pressure = 7293.2 torr or 9.60 atm

Explanation:

<em>Total pressure = partial pressure of nitrogen + partial pressure of oxygen</em>

The partial pressure due to nitrogen is determined using the equation of Gay-Lussac's law: <em>P₁/T₁=P₂/T₂</em>

P₁ = 760 torr = 1atm, T₁ = 28∘C = (273+28)K = 301k, P₂ = ?, T₂ = 310∘C =(310+273)K = 583K

P₂ = P₁ T₂/ T₁

P₂ = 760 * 583 / 301 = 1472.03 torr

The pressure due to Oxygen gas produced is calculated thus:

Balanced equation of the decomposition of Ag₂O at s.t.p. is as follows;

2Ag₂O ----> 4Ag + O₂(g)

2 moles of Ag₂O produces 1 mole of O₂

molar mass of Ag₂O = (2*108 + 16)g = 232g/mol

molar volume of gas at s.t.p. = 22.4L

2*232g i.e. 464g of Ag₂O produces 22.4L of O₂

5.57g of Ag₂O will produce 5.57g*22.4L/464g = 0.269L or 269mL of O₂

Using the General gas equation P₁V₁/T₁=P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = 1atm = 760 torr, V₁ = 269mL, T₁=273K, P₂ = ?, V₂= 75mL, T₂ = 583K

P₂ = P₁V₁T₂/V₂T₁

P₂ = 760*269*583 / 75*273

P₂ = 5821.17 torr

Total pressure = (1472.03 + 5821.17) torr

Total pressure = 7293.2 torr or 9.60 atm

If 81g of water is measured out, how many moles are in the sample? *

valkas [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

because moles = mass /mr

so 81/18(mr of H2O=2+16)

moles =4.5

Based on the shapes of the water drops in part D, how does the attractive force between water and wax compare to the attractive

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Because the cohesive forces inside the droplets are stronger than the adhesive forces between both the drops and the wax, water does not penetrate waxed surfaces. Because the adhesive forces between the liquid and the glass are stronger than the cohesive forces inside the water, water wets glass and spreads out across it.

You perform a distillation to separate a mixture of propylbenzene and cyclohexane, and you obtain 2.9949 grams of cyclohexane (d

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

66.67%

Explanation:

From the given information:

mass of cyclohexane = 2.9949 grams

density of cyclohexane = 0.779 g/mL

Recall that:

Density = mass/volume

∴

Volume = mass/density

So, the volume of cyclohexane = 2.9949 g/ 0.779 g/mL

= 3.8445 mL

Also,

mass of propylbenzene = 1.6575 grams

density of propylbenzene = 0.862 g/mL

Volume of propylbenzene = 1.6575 g/ 0.862 g/mL

= 1.9229 mL

The volume % composition of cyclohexane from the mixture is:

$= (\dfrac{v_{cyclohexane}}{v_{cyclohexane}+v_{propylbenzene}})\times 100$

$= (\dfrac{3.8445}{3.8445+1.9229})\times 100$

$= (\dfrac{3.8445}{5.7674})\times 100$

= 66.67%
