The pressure in a 12.2 L vessel that contains 2.34 g of {\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_2}, 1.73 g of {\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}} and 3.33 g of Ar is \boxed{{\text{262}}{\text{.6 torr}}}.

Further explanation:

An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas that is composed of a large number of randomly moving particles that are supposed to have perfectly elastic collisions among themselves. It is just a theoretical concept and practically no such gas exists. But gases tend to behave almost ideally at a higher temperature and lower pressure.

Ideal gas law is the equation of state for any hypothetical gas. The expression for the ideal gas equation is as follows:

{\text{PV}}={\text{nRT}}                               …… (1)

Here,

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of gas.

T is the absolute temperature of the gas.

n is the number of moles of gas.

R is the universal gas constant.

The formula to calculate the moles of substance is as follows:

{\text{Moles of substance}} = \frac{{{\text{Given mass of substance}}}}{{{\text{Molar mass of substance}}}}               ...... (2)

Substitute 2.34 g for the given mass and 44 g/mol for the molar mass in equation (2) to calculate the moles of {\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_2}

\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of C}}{{\text{O}}_2}&=\left({{\text{2}}{\text{.34 g}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{1 mol}}}}{{{\text{44 g}}}}} \right)\\&=0.053{\text{1 mol}}\\&\approx {\text{0}}{\text{.053 mol}} \\ \end{aligned}  

Substitute 1.73 g for the given mass and 64 g/mol for the molar mass in equation (2) to calculate the moles of {\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_2}

\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of S}}{{\text{O}}_2}&=\left({{\text{1}}{\text{.73 g}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{1 mol}}}}{{{\text{64 g}}}}} \right)\\&=0.027{\text{ mol}} \\ \end{aligned}  

Substitute 3.33 g for the given mass and 40 g/mol for the molar mass in equation (2) to calculate the moles of Ar.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of S}}{{\text{O}}_2}&=\left({{\text{3}}{\text{.33 g}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{1 mol}}}}{{{\text{40 g}}}}} \right)\\&=0.0832{\text{ mol}}\\&\approx {\text{0}}{\text{.083 mol}} \\ \end{aligned}  

The formula to calculate the total moles of gas in the vessel is as follows:

{\text{Moles of gas}} = {\text{Moles of C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}} + {\text{Moles of S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}} + {\text{Moles of Ar}}         ...... (3)

Substitute 0.053 mol for the moles of {\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}, 0.027 mol for the moles of {\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}} and 0.083 mol for the moles of Ar in equation (3).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of gas }}\left( {\text{n}} \right)&={\text{0}}{\text{.053 mol}} + {\text{0}}{\text{.027 mol}} + {\text{0}}{\text{.083 mol}}\\&={\text{0}}{\text{.163 mol}} \\ \end{aligned}  

Rearrange equation (1) to calculate the pressure of the gas.

{\text{P}} = \frac{{{\text{nRT}}}}{{\text{V}}}                           ...... (4)

Substitute 0.163 for n, 12.2 L for V, {\text{42}}\;^\circ {\text{C}} for T and 62.364\;{\text{L}} \cdot {\text{torr}} \cdot {\text{mo}}{{\text{l}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\text{K}}^{ - 1}} for R in equation (4).

\begin{aligned}{\text{P}}&=\frac{{\left( {{\text{0}}{\text{.163 mol}}} \right)\left( {62.364\;{\text{L}} \cdot {\text{torr}} \cdot {\text{mo}}{{\text{l}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\text{K}}^{ - 1}}} \right)\left( {42 + 273.15} \right)\;{\text{K}}}}{{{\text{12}}{\text{.2 L}}}}\\&=262.590{\text{5 torr}} \\&\approx 262.6\;{\text{torr}} \\ \end{aligned}  

Therefore the pressure in the vessel is 262.6 torr.

From ideal gas  law  that  is  p=nRT/V
n 
is  the  total moles
moles  of  co2=2.34/44=0.053
                 SO2=1.73/64=0.027
                  Ar=3.33/40=0.083
total  moles=0.053+0.027+0.083=0.163moles

therefore p=[0.163mole  x 62.364 torr/mole/k x(42  +273.15k)] /12.2 l=262.6 torr

What rules should you follow when adding and subtracting ?
wariber [46]
Adding and subtracting with scientific notation may require more care, because the rule for adding and subtracting exponential expressions is that the expressions must havelike terms<span>. Remember that to be </span>like terms<span>, two expressions must have exactly the same base numbers to exactly the same powers. Thinking about decimal arithmetic, the requirement that we have the same powers makes sense, because that guarantees that all of the place values are lined up properly.</span>

What order must the earth, the sun, and the moon be in to be a lunar eclipse?​
zhannawk [14.2K]

A total lunar eclipse takes place when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and covers the Moon with its shadow. When this happens, the Moon can turn red, earning it the nickname of Blood Moon.
