A ballon is filled with helium gas. Another balloon, of the same size, is filled with nitrogen gas. Explain why the ratio of the

masses of the two samples is the same as the ratio of their molar masses.

Let's say say there are n1 mols of helium in the first balloon and n2 mols of nitrogen in the second one, which are equivalent to m1 grams of helium and m2 grams of nitrogen.

The molar mass of hydrogen is thus M1=m1/n1, same for nitrogen M2=m2/n2 hence the ratio of their masses is m1/m2=(M1n1)/(M2n2). Since both gases are rather similar, we can assume that n1~n2 hence m1/m2=M1/M2

What pressure, in atm, would be exerted by 0.023 grams of oxygen (O2) if it occupies 31.6 mL at 91
Vikentia [17]

Answer:  A pressure of 0.681 atm would be exerted by 0.023 grams of oxygen (O_2) if it occupies 31.6 mL at 91^{o}C.

Explanation:

Given : Mass of oxygen = 0.023 g

Volume = 31.6 mL

Convert mL into L as follows.

1 mL = 0.001 L\\31.6 mL = 31.6 mL \times \frac{0.001 L}{1 mL}\\= 0.0316 L

Temperature = 91^{o}C = (91 + 273) K = 364 K

As molar mass of O_2 is 32 g/mol. Hence, the number of moles of O_2 are calculated as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{0.023 g}{32 g/mol}\\= 0.00072 mol

Using the ideal gas equation calculate the pressure exerted by given gas as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the value into above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\P  \times 0.0316 L = 0.00072 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 364 K\\P = \frac{0.00072 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 364 K}{0.0316 L}\\= 0.681 atm

Thus, we can conclude that a pressure of 0.681 atm would be exerted by 0.023 grams of oxygen (O_2) if it occupies 31.6 mL at 91^{o}C.

Does methylenecyclohexane obey Zaitsev's rule? why or why not
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation: Zaitsev’s or Saytzev’s (anglicized spelling) rule is an empirical rule used to predict regioselectivity of 1,2-elimination reactions occurring via E1 mechanism or via E2 mechanism. It states that in a regioselective E1 or E2 reaction the major product is the more stable alkene, i.e., the alkene with the more highly substituted double bond.

E1 reaction always follow Zaitsev’s rule; with E2 reactions, there are exceptions (see antiperiplanar).

Whats the si unit chemist use to measure the amount of an element substance?
Westkost [7]
The SI unit for the amount of substance present is the mole.

The mole is defined as the amount of substance that has the same amount of particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. Mathematically, the moles of a substance may be computed using:

moles present = mass of substance / molecular mass of substance
