Answer:
Mass released = 8.6 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial number of moles nitrogen= 0.950 mol
Initial volume = 25.5 L
Final mass of nitrogen released = ?
Final volume = 17.3 L
Solution:
Formula:
V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂
25.5 L / 0.950 mol = 17.3 L/n₂
n₂ = 17.3 L× 0.950 mol/25.5 L
n₂ = 16.435 L.mol /25.5 L
n₂ = 0.644 mol
Initial mass of nitrogen:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.950 mol × 28 g/mol
Mass = 26.6 g
Final mass of nitrogen:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.644 mol × 28 g/mol
Mass = 18.0 g
Mass released = initial mass - final mass
Mass released = 26.6 g - 18.0 g
Mass released = 8.6 g
