Answer:

2.84g

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2SO2 + O2 —> 2SO3

Step 2:

Determination of the mass of O2 that reacted and the mass of SO3 produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 32 = 32g

Molar mass of SO3 = 32 + (16x3) = 80g/mol

Mass of SO3 from the balanced equation = 2 x 80 = 160g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

32g of O2 reacted to produce 160g of SO3.

Step 3:

Determination of the mass of O2 needed to produce 14.2g of SO3.

This can be achieved as shown below:

From the balanced equation above,

32g of O2 reacted to produce 160g of SO3.

Therefore, Xg of O2 will react to produce 14.2g of SO3 i.e

Xg of O2 = (32 x 14.2)/160

Xg of O2 = 2.84g

Therefore, 2.84g of O2 is needed to produce 14.2g of SO3.

Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 3.250g of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.180mm in diameter.. How far does the merc
Helga [31]
1) You need to get volume of both temperatures by using first attached formula V= Mass/DensityV_1 = (3.250 g)/(13.596 g/(cm^3)) = .2390 cm^3
At 25 degrees C (V_2e have:

V_2  = (3.250 g)/(13.534 g/(cm^3)) = .2401 cm^3

2) Using the second formula you get the height of 0 degree 
h = V/(pi * r^2)


h_1 =(.2390 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2)  = 939.2 cm

(radius in cm is (0.180 mm) / 2 * (1 cm)/(10 mm) or .009 cm

3) Then with h1 you can easily get the height of 25 degrees 
h_2 =(.2401 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2) = 943.5 cm

 Subtract 943.5 cm - 939.2 cm, and obtain a rise in mercury height of 4.3 cm

If atmospheric pressure suddenly changes from 1.00 atm to 0.892 atm at 298 k, how much oxygen will be released from 4.40 l of wa
garri49 [273]
Henry's law constant for oxygen is 0,0013 mol/L·<span>atm. Air has 21,0% oxygen.
concentration of oxygen at 1 atm: 0,0013 mol/L</span>·atm · 0,21 · 1 atm = 0,000273 mol/l.
concentration of oxygen at 1 atm: 0,0013 mol/L·atm · 0,21 · 0,892 atm = 0,000243 mol/l.
difference in concentration: 0,000273 - 0,000243 = 0,00003 mol/L.
n(oxygen) = 0,00003 mol/L · 4,40 L = 0,000132 mol.

How many atoms are in 766.3 grams of Li?
34kurt

1 mol of any substance is made of 6.022 x 10²³ units, these units could be atoms making up elements or molecules making up a compound.

In this case. 1 mol of Li is made of 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Li

The molar mass of Li is 6.94 g/mol

Therefore mass of 1 mol of Li is 6.94 g

In 6.94 g of Li there are - 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

Then in 766.3 g of Li there are - 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / 6.94 g x 766.3 g = 665 x 10²³

There are 6.65 x 10^25 atoms of Li

We refer to astronauts in space as weightless, but not without mass. Why?
fredd [130]
Weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object, therefore when an astronaut is in space with no gravity he is weightless. Mass is the actual amount of matter contained in a body, this won’t change if the gravity changes.
