We will assume that the only reactants are x and y and that the only product is xy.

Based on the law of mass conservation, mass is an isolated system that can neither be created nor destroyed.

Applying this concept to the chemical reaction, we will find that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products,
therefore:
mass of x + mass of y = mass of xy
12.2 + mass of y = 78.9
mass of y = 78.9 - 12.2 = 66.7 grams

A mouse is placed in a sealed chamber with air at 769.0 torr. This chamber is equipped with enough solid KOH to absorb any CO2 a

svlad2 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial pressure of air = 769.0 torr

Final pressure of air = 717.1 torr

Pressure of oxygen = Pressure decreased = Initial pressure - Final pressure = (769.0 - 717.1) torr = 51.9 torr

To calculate the amount of oxygen gas consumed, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 51.9 torr

V = Volume of the gas = 2.20 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 292 K

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$51.9torr\times 2.20L=n\times 62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 292K\\\\n=\frac{51.9\times 2.20}{62.364\times 292}=0.0063mol$

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.0063 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0063mol=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen gas}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of oxygen gas}=(0.0063mol\times 32g/mol)=0.202g$

Hence, the amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.
