O is an element. O2 is not an element. A compound is when a substance forms two or more elements that are chemically joined together. That is what O2 is so therefore, it is a compound. Hope this helps! :)

78.6 grams of O2 and 67.3 grams of F2 are placed in a container with a volume of 40.6 L. Find the total pressure if the gasses a

saul85 [17]

1) List the known and unknown quantities.

Sample: O2.

Mass: 78.6 g.

Volume: 40.6 L.

Temperature: 43.13 ºC = 316.28 K.

Sample: F2.

Mass: 67.3 g.

Volume: 40.6 L.

Temperature: 43.13 ºC = 316.28 K.

2) Find the pressure of O2.

2.1- List the known and unknown quantities.

Sample: O2.

Mass: 78.6 g.

Volume: 40.6 L.

Temperature: 43.13 ºC = 316.28 K

Ideal gas constant: 0.082057 L * atm * K^(-1) * mol^(-1).

2.2- Convert grams of O2 to moles of O2.

The molar mass of O2 is 31.9988 g/mol.

$mol\text{ }O_2=78.6\text{ }g*\frac{1\text{ }mol\text{ }O_2}{31.9988\text{ }g\text{ }O_2}=2.46\text{ }mol\text{ }O_2$

2.3- Set the equation.

Ideal gas constant: 0.082057 L * atm * K^(-1) * mol^(-1)

$PV=nRT$

2.4- Plug in the known quantities and solve for P.

$(P)(40.6\text{ }L)=(2.46\text{ }mol\text{ }O_2)(0.082057\text{ }L*atm*K^{-1}*mol^{-1})(316.28\text{ }K)$

.

$P_{O_2}=\frac{(2.46\text{ }mol\text{ }O_2)(0.082057\text{ }L*atm*K^{-1}*mol^{-1})(316.28\text{ }K)}{40.6\text{ }L}$ $P_{O_2}=1.57\text{ }atm$

The pressure of O2 is 1.57 atm.

3) Find the pressure of F2.

3.1- List the known and unknown quantities.

Sample: F2.

Mass: 67.3 g.

Volume: 40.6 L.

Temperature: 43.13 ºC = 316.28 K.

Ideal gas constant: 0.082057 L * atm * K^(-1) * mol^(-1).

3.2- Convert grams of F2 to moles of F2.

The mmolar mass of F2 is 37.9968 g/mol.

$mol\text{ }F_2=67.3\text{ }g\text{ }F_2*\frac{1\text{ }mol\text{ }F_2}{37.9968\text{ }g\text{ }F_2}=1.77\text{ }mol\text{ }F_2$

3.3- Set the equation.

Ideal gas constant: 0.082057 L * atm * K^(-1) * mol^(-1)

$PV=nRT$

3.4- Plug in the known quantities and solve for P.

$(P)(40.6\text{ }L)=(1.77\text{ }mol\text{ }F_2)(0.082057\text{ }L*atm*K^{-1}*mol^{-1})(316.28\text{ }K)$

.

$P_{F_2}=\frac{(1.77molF_2)(0.082057L*atm*K^{-1}*mol^{-1})(316.28K)}{40.6\text{ }L}$ $P_{F_2}=1.13\text{ }atm$

The pressure of F2 is 1.13 atm.

4) The total pressure.

Dalton's law - Partial pressure. This law states that the total pressure of a gas is equal to the sum of the individual partial pressures.

4.1- Set the equation.

$P_T=P_A+P_B$

4.2- Plug in the known quantities.

$P_T=1.57\text{ }atm+1.13\text{ }atm$ $P_T=2.7\text{ }atm$

The total pressure in the container is 2.7 atm.

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture

marishachu [46]

Heterogeneous Mixtures aren't uniform and are separated in the mixture. They are usually more easily able to be separated. An example is milk and cereal. The cereal isn't uniform because the milk and cereal still are separated and have their own identities. (You can easily just remove cereal from milk using a strainer)

Homogeneous Mixtures are uniform in composition and the multiple elements have become one solution. These mixtures are hard to separate into their components. An example is tap water because it contains water as well as various minerals that can only be separated by performing chemical reactions.

What element is represented by the following electron configuration?

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Cobalt

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Electronic configuration of element => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d⁷

Name of the Element =?

Next, we shall determine the number of electrons in the atom of the element. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of electron = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 7

Number of electron = 27

Next, we shall determine the number protons in the atom of the element. This can be obtained as follow:

For a ground state element,

Number of Proton = number of Electron

Number of electrons = 27

Number of proton = Number of electron = 27

Number of protons = 27

Therefore, the number of protons in the atom of the element is 27

Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element. This can be obtained as follow:

The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom of the element. Mathematically,

Atomic number = proton number

Number of proton = 27

Finally, we shall determine the name of the element as follow:

Comparing the atomic number of the element (i.e 27) with those in the periodic table, the element is Cobalt since no two elements have the same atomic number.

A cube of aluminum is 20 cm on edge. aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3 and a specific heat of 0.217 cal/g0c. what is the heat

swat32

A common unit of energy is the calorie. A calorie is defined as the amount of heat that is needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree centigrade. Modern convention uses a unit of energy called a joule. A calorie is equal to 4.184 joules. A joule is approximately the energy needed to lift 2000 grams a distance of 10 centimeters.

Heat is transferred by either direct transfer from one object touching another or by the emission of radiation in the form of infrared radiation. Two results can occur as a result of this transfer of thermal energy. A substance can undergo either a change in temperature or a change in physical state.

When a substance exchanges heat with its surroundings without changing its physical state, the substance will undergo a change in temperature. This change in temperature depends on a property called specific heat capacity.

Specific heat capacity is the "heat needed to produce a given temperature change (in Celsius or Kelvin) per gram of substance" and is expressed in the units J/gK. Specific heat capacity depends on both the type of substance and the mass of the substance.The "D" means "change in" and "q" represents the quantity of heat.
