In a voltaic cell made of a Ag strip and an Al strip immersed in 1.0 M aqueous AgNO_3 and Al(NO_3)_3 solutions, respectively, wi

th all other cell components in place, the Al strip is oxidized, thereby losing mass as the voltaic cell operates. What is the primary reason the Al strip loses mass

Answer:

When the operation of the voltaic cell, which is formed of an aluminum and silver strip takes place, the atom of aluminum loses three of its electrons and the Al3+ formed moves within the solution. The Al3+ ion gets dissolved within the solution and the electrons lost in the process moves through the wire and get acquired by the ions of silver, which then get reduced to solid Ag resulting in the mass gain of silver strip.

One liter of oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure has a mass of 1.43 g. The same volume of hydrogen gas under these c

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Indeed, the two samples should contain about the same number of gas particles. However, the molar mass of $\rm O_2\; (g)$ is larger than that of $\rm H_2\; (g)$ (by a factor of about $16$ .) Therefore, the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ sample is significantly larger than that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample.

Explanation:

The $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample here are under the same pressure and temperature, and have the same volume. Indeed, if both gases are ideal, then by Avogadro's Law, the two samples would contain the same number of gas particles ( $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and $\rm H_2\; (g)$ molecules, respectively.) That is:

$n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ .

Note that the mass of a gas $m$ is different from the number of gas particles $n$ in it. In particular, if all particles in this gas have a molar mass of $M$ , then:

$m = n \cdot M$ .

In other words,

$m(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{O_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})$ .
$m(\mathrm{H_2}) = n(\mathrm{H_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})$ .

The ratio between the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Since $n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ by Avogadro's Law:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Look up relative atomic mass data on a modern periodic table:

$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .

Therefore:

$M(\mathrm{O_2}) = 2 \times 15.999 \approx 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .
$M(\mathrm{H_2}) = 2 \times 1.008 \approx 2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Verify whether $\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ :

Left-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{1.43\; \rm g}{0.089\; \rm g} \approx 16.1$ .
Right-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}}{2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 15.9$ .

Note that the mass of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample comes with only two significant figures. The two sides of this equations would indeed be equal if both values are rounded to two significant figures.

The partial pressure of CO2 gas in a bottle of carbonated water is 4.60 atm at 25 ºC. How much CO2 gas (in g) will be released f

frutty [35]

If the partial pressure of CO₂ in a bottle of carbonated water decreases from 4.60 atm to 1.28 atm, the mass of CO₂ released is 0.265 g.

The partial pressure of CO₂ gas in a bottle of carbonated water is 4.60 atm at 25 ºC. We can calculate the concentration of CO₂ using Henry's law.

$C = k \times P = \frac{1.65 \times 10^{-3} M }{atm} \times 4.60 atm = 7.59 \times 10^{-3} M$

We can calculate the mass of CO₂ in 1.1 L considering its molar mass is 44.01 g/mol.

$\frac{7.59 \times 10^{-3} mol}{L} \times 1.1 L \times \frac{44.01 g}{mol} = 0.367 g$

Now, we will repeat the same procedure for a partial pressure of 1.28 atm.

$C = k \times P = \frac{1.65 \times 10^{-3} M }{atm} \times 1.28 atm = 2.11 \times 10^{-3} M$

$\frac{2.11 \times 10^{-3} mol}{L} \times 1.1 L \times \frac{44.01 g}{mol} = 0.102 g$

The mass of CO₂ released will be equal to the difference in the masses at the different pressures.

$m = 0.367 g - 0.102 g = 0.265 g$

If the partial pressure of CO₂ in a bottle of carbonated water decreases from 4.60 atm to 1.28 atm, the mass of CO₂ released is 0.265 g.

Who started sneakers

hodyreva [135]

In late 18th century, people wore rubber soled shoes called plimsolls, but they weren't the best sneakers. Around 1892, a US company named Keds started sneakers with a canvas top and rubber soles. By 1917, these were mass produced.
