Answer:

A. Boyle's Law

B. Charles' Law

C. Gay-Lussac's Law

Explanation:

An air bag inflates due to the decomposition of sodium azide or NaN₃ to completely fill the bag with nitrogen gas which is an example of Boyle's law, which states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume, hence due to the estricted volume of the airbag, the pressure of the nitrogen gas in the bag increses protecting the occupants of a cr from injuries in a crash

Helium balloon decrease in sice in a freezer is an example of Charlles law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is nverslely proportionl to its temperature at constant pressure

A can of spray paint will explode if tossed into a fire is an example of Gay-Lussac's Law which states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature hence the increased pressure causes the can ti explode

0.509g sample pure platinumetal was reacted with HCl to firm O.889g of platinum and chlorine. what is the percent by mass of pla

stepan [7]

Platinum plus chlorine equals 0.889 grams whereas the platinum alone is 0.509grams so 0.509/0.889grams = 57% of the mass of the platinum plus chlorine. The chlorine would be 0.889-0.509=0.38 grams. The chlorine would make up about 42.7% of the total mass in grams.

Which statement is a valid conclusion about the activation energy of the reverse reaction if the forward reaction is exothermic?

babunello [35]

Answer:

e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction. The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.

What is not represented by a balanced chemical equation?

astraxan [27]

Answer is: 4) The same subscripts are on each side of the equation.

For example, balanced chemical reaction:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO.

1) The same number of atoms is on each side of the equation: two magnesium atoms and two oxgen atoms.

2) The formulas for all substances are correct: in magnesium oxide (MgO), magnesium has oxidation number +2 and oxygen -2, so formula is good, because compound must be neutral.

3) The same mass is represented on each side of the equation: because there is same number of atoms, the mass is the same.

4) The same subscripts are on each side of the equation: oxygen does not have same subscripts.

What is the equilibrium constant of 2H, 0 = 2H2 +0,?

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

K = [H₂]² [ O₂] / [H₂O]²

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of any reaction can be written as,

K = [product]/ [reactant]

For given reaction:

Chemical equation:

2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂

equilibrium constant:

K = [H₂] [ O₂] / [H₂O]

In stoichiometric calculations, we will put the coefficient of balanced equation in given equilibrium constant equation.

K = [H₂]² [ O₂] / [H₂O]²

A) The average molecular speed in a sample of Ar gas at a certain temperature is 391 m/s. The average molecular speed in a sampl

diamong [38]

Answer:

For A: The average molecular speed of Ne gas is 553 m/s at the same temperature.

For B: The rate of effusion of $SO_2$ gas is $1.006\times 10^{-3}mol/hr$

Explanation:

For A:

The average molecular speed of the gas is calculated by using the formula:

$V_{gas}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}}$

$V_{gas}\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}$

where, M is the molar mass of gas

Forming an equation for the two gases:

$\frac{V_{Ar}}{V_{Ne}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{Ne}}{M_{Ar}}}$ .....(1)

Given values:

$V_{Ar}=391m/s\\M_{Ar}=40g/mol\\M_{Ne}=20g/mol$

Plugging values in equation 1:

$\frac{391m/s}{V_{Ne}}=\sqrt{\frac{20}{40}}\\\\V_{Ne}=391\times \sqrt{2}=553m/s$

Hence, the average molecular speed of Ne gas is 553 m/s at the same temperature.

For B:

Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation for this follows:

$Rate\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}$

Where, M is the molar mass of the gas

Forming an equation for the two gases:

$\frac{Rate_{SO_2}}{Rate_{Xe}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{Xe}}{M_{SO_2}}}$ .....(2)

Given values:

$Rate_{Xe}=7.03\times 10^{-4}mol/hr\\M_{Xe}=131g/mol\\M_{SO_2}=64g/mol$

Plugging values in equation 2:

$\frac{Rate_{SO_2}}{7.03\times 10^{-4}}=\sqrt{\frac{131}{64}}\\\\Rate_{SO_2}=7.03\times 10^{-4}\times \sqrt{\frac{131}{64}}\\\\Rate_{SO_2}=1.006\times 10^{-3}mol/hr$

Hence, the rate of effusion of $SO_2$ gas is $1.006\times 10^{-3}mol/hr$
