The product gas is then passed through a concentrated solution of KOH to remove the CO2. After passage through the KOH solution,

the gas contains N2 and is saturated with water vapor. In a given experiment a 0.253-g sample of a compound produced 31.8 mL N2 saturated with water vapor at 258C and 726 torr. What is the mass percent of nitrogen in the compound

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of nitrogen gas in the compound is 13.3 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

Assuming the chemical equation of the compound forming product gases is:

\text{Compound}\xrightarrow[CuO(s)]{Hot}N_2(g)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(g)

Now, the product gases are treated with KOH to remove carbon dioxide.

We are given:

p_{Total}=726torr\\P_{water}=23.8torr\\

So, pressure of nitrogen gas will be = p_{Total}-p_{water}=726-23.8=702.2torr

To calculate the number of moles of nitrogen, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of nitrogen gas = 702.2 torr = 0.924 atm    (Conversion factor: 1 atm = 760 torr)

V = Volume of nitrogen gas = 31.8 mL = 0.0318 L   (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

T = Temperature of nitrogen gas = 25^oC=[25+273]K=298K

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of nitrogen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.924atm\times 0.0318L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\n_{mix}=\frac{0.924\times 0.0318}{0.0821\times 298}=0.0012mol

  • To calculate the mass of nitrogen gas, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen gas = 0.0012 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0012mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen gas}}{28g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitrogen gas}=(0.0012mol\times 28g/mol)=0.0336g

  • To calculate the mass percent of nitrogen gas in compound, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of nitrogen gas}=\frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen gas}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100

Mass of compound = 0.253 g

Mass of nitrogen gas = 0.0336 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of nitrogen gas}=\frac{0.0336g}{0.253g}\times 100=13.3\%

Hence, the mass percent of nitrogen gas in the compound is 13.3 %

Please help to me solve these ! :)

I. The solubility of NaCl at 25 degrees C would be between the solubilities at 20 and 30 degrees C. A reasonable answer would be 36 grams/100 g water
ii. From the table, it’s clear that the salts are more soluble at higher temperatures, indicating that an increase in temperature increases solubility.
iii. At 50 degrees C, a saturated ammonium chloride solution will have 50.6 grams of salt per 100 g water. At 20 degrees C, the solution can hold only 37.3 grams of salt per 100 g water. Thus, 13.3 grams of salt will precipitate per 100 grams of water.

Why don't noble gasses want to react with anyone?
Zepler [3.9K]
They have a full valence shell (8 electrons in the outer shell) so they are the most stable elements on the periodic table. Therefore, they do not need to react to other elements to gain or lose elections to become stable.

How does the size of ions affect the conductivity of a solution?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Small ions have small areas. There is less resistance as they move through the solution.

For example, in molten salts, the conductivity of <span>Li+</span> is greater than that of <span>Cs+</span>.

Small ions have high charge density.
