We will assume helium to behave as an ideal gas and apply the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
For pressure measured in atmospheres and volume measured in liters, the value of the molar gas constant is 0.082. Therefore:
T = PV / nR
T = (2.57 x 15.5) / (1.2 x 0.082)
T = 404.8 Kelvin
The choices are true about the characteristic of a strong base, except for it having a concentration of above 1.0 M. Therefore, the answer is letter A. The concentration of the base is not a very important as to how strong really the base is.
A lone pair is a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom and is sometimes called a non-bonding pair.
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Chemical equation (given)</u>
<u>2) Theoretical yield</u>
<u>a) Convert mass of NaHCO₃ to moles:</u>
- n = mass in grams / molar mass
- molar mass = 84.007 g/mol
- n = 2.36 g / 84.007 g/mol = 0.02809 mol
<u>b) Mole ratio:</u>
- 2 mol NaHCO₃ : 1 mol H₂CO₃
<u>c) Proportionality:</u>
- 2 mol NaHCO₃ / mol H₂CO₃ = 0.02809 mol NaHCO₃ / x
⇒ x = 0.2809 / 2 mol H₂CO₃ = 0.01405 mol H₂CO₃
<u>3) Actual yield</u>
<u>a) Mass balance</u>: 2.36 g - 1.57 g = 0.79 g
<u>b) Convert 0.79 g of carbonic acid to number of moles</u>:
- n = mass in grams / molar mass
- n = 0.79 g / 62.03 g/mol = 0.01274 mol
<u>4) Percentage yield, y (%)</u>
- y (%) = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100
- y (%) = 0.1274 mol / 0.1405 mol × 100 = 90.68%
The answer must show 3 significant figures, so y(%) = 90.7%.
