Answer:

Total worth of gold in the ocean = $5,840,000,000,000,000

Explanation:

As stated in the question above, 4.0 x 10^-10 g of gold was present in 2.1mL of ocean water.

Therefore, In 1 L of ocean water there will be,

(4.0 x 10^-10)/0.0021

= 1.9045 x 10^-7 g of gold per Liter of ocean water.

So in 1.5 x 10^-21 L of ocean water, there will be

(1.9045 x 10^-7) * (1.5 x 10^-21)

= 2.857 x 10^14 g of gold in the ocean.

1 gram of gold costs $20.44, that is 20.44 dollars/gram. The total cost of the gold present in the ocean is

20.44 * (2.857 x 10^14)

= $5,840,000,000,000,000

What volume of carbon dioxide, at 1 atm pressure and 112°C, will be produced when 80.0 grams of methane is burned?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

158 L.

Explanation:

What is given?

Pressure (P) = 1 atm.

Temperature (T) = 112 °C + 273 = 385 K.

Mass of methane CH4 (g) = 80.0 g.

Molar mass of methane CH4 = 16 g/mol.

R constant = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K.

What do we need? Volume (V).

Step-by-step solution:

To solve this problem, we have to use ideal gas law: the ideal gas law is a single equation which relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas. The formula is:

PV=nRT.

Where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the constant and T is temperature.

So, let's find the number of moles that are in 80.0 g of methane using its molar mass. This conversion is:

80.0g\text{ CH}_4\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol CH}_4}{16\text{ g CH}_4}=5\text{ moles CH}_4.

So, in this case, n=5.

Now, let's solve for 'V' and replace the given values in the ideal gas law equation:

V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{5\text{ moles }\cdot0.0821\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol\cdot K}\cdot385K}{1\text{ atm}}=158.04\text{ L}\approx158\text{ L.}

The volume would be 158 L.

How to determine how many valence electrons an element has?
In-s [12.5K]
Usually (ignoring transition metals, as they kinda get trickier), the element's valency can be found out by its group (column) number. Usually, we ignore the transition metal block while counting these columns, so Aluminium is in group 3, for example. Since Aluminium is in group 3, it has 3 valence electrons.
