What mass, in grams, of oxygen gas (o2) is contained in a 8.5-liter tank at 32.0 degrees celsius and 3.23 atmospheres?

1 answer:

5 0

For this problem we assume that oxygen is an ideal gas. So, we use the equation PV=nRT where P is pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is a universal constant and T is the temperature. We first solve for the number of moles n. Then, using the molar mass of oxygen we convert it to grams.

PV=nRT
n = PV / RT
n = 3.23 (8.5) / 0.08206 (32+273.15)
n = 1.0964 mol

mass = 1.0964 mol (32g / 1 mol) = 35.09 g O2

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?

miv72 [106K]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.

starting with methane ,name all the steps and write the equations involved in tetrachlorination.Remember all arrows sharing move

anygoal [31]

Answer:

See Explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Methane is an alkane. The commonest chemical reaction that alkanes undergo is substitution. During a substitution reaction, one or more atoms of hydrogen is/are replaced in the alkane.

In methane, in the presence of sunlight and molecular chlorine gas, a homolytic fission of Cl2 occurs to yield chlorine radicals in an initiation step.

The propagation steps involve reaction of the methane with chlorine radicals. Certain intermediates continue to be formed along the way until the tetrachlorination product is finally obtained.

Answer:

35,000,000,000 mL

Explanation:

You first multiply 35 times 1000.

35,000 L
