A 3.88 mol sample of gas has a temperature of 28°C and a pressure of 885 torr. What is its volume?
2 answers:
Answer:
Its volume is 82.3 L
Explanation:
The state of a quantity of gaseous matter is formulated based on four different variables: pressure, volume, temperature and number of moles of gas. Then, the equation known as the ideal gas equation, explains the relationship between these four variables using the expression:
P*V=n*R*T
where P represents the gas pressure, V its volume, n the number of moles of gas, R the gas constant and T the gas temperature.
In this case:
- P= 885 torr
- V=?
- n=3.88 mol
- R= 62.36365
- T=28°C= 301°K (Being 0°C=273°K)
Replacing:
885 torr*V=3.88 mol*62.36365 *301°K
Solving:
V=82.3 L
<u><em>Its volume is 82.3 L</em></u>

Answer:
Density, melting point. and magnetic properties
Explanation:
I can think of three ways.
1. Density
The density of Cu₂S is 5.6 g/cm³; that of CuS is 4.76 g/cm³.
It should be possible to distinguish these even with high school equipment.
2. Melting point
Cu₂S melts at 1130 °C (yellowish-red); CuS decomposes at 500 °C (faint red).
A Bunsen burner can easily reach these temperatures.
3. Magnetic properties
You can use a Gouy balance to measure the magnetic susceptibilities.
In Cu₂S the Cu⁺ ion has a d¹⁰ electron configuration, so all the electrons are paired and the solid is diamagnetic.
In CuS the Cu²⁺ ion has a d⁹ electron configuration, so all there is an unpaired electron and the solid is paramagnetic.
A sample of Cu₂S will be repelled by the magnetic field and show a decrease in weight.
A sample of CuS will be attracted by the magnetic field and show an increase in weight.
In the picture below, you can see the sample partially suspended between the poles of an electromagnet.
