A 500.0 g block of dry ice (solid CO2, molar mass = 44.0 g) vaporizes at room temperature. Calculate the volume of gas produced
Damm [24]

Considering the ideal gas law, the volume of gas produced at 25.0 °C and 1.50 atm is 184.899 L.

<h3>Definition of ideal gas</h3>

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

An ideal gas is characterized by absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of gases:

P×V = n×R×T

<h3>Volume of gas</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • P= 1.50 atm
  • V= ?
  • n= 500 g×\frac{1 mole}{44 g}= 11.36 moles, being 44 \frac{g}{mole} the molar mass of CO₂
  • R= 0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}
  • T= 25 C= 298 K (being 0 C=273 K)

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

1.50 atm×V = 11.36 moles×0.082\frac{atmL}{molK} × 298 K

Solving:

V= (11.36 moles×0.082\frac{atmL}{molK} × 298 K) ÷ 1.50 atm

<u><em>V= 184.899 L</em></u>

Finally, the volume of gas produced at 25.0 °C and 1.50 atm is 184.899 L.

The actual yield of a certain reaction is 44.0 g, while the theoretical yield is 50.0 g. Calculate the percent yield.
Goshia [24]
Percent yield represents to what extent the reaction runs to completion. In this, the theoretical yield is 50 grams (100% completion).

To calculate percent yield, divide the actual by the theoretical. In doing so, the percent yield is 88% (44/50).

A. What is the pH of a solution with a [H+] of 6.8 x 10^-11?
inysia [295]

Answer:

[H+] = 6.8×10^-11

so, pH = - log[H+]

= - log [6.8×10^-11]

= -(-10.167)

= 10.167
