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 %

Yasir wants to determine if there is a relationship between room color and sleep. Based on his research, Yasir makes an educated
Fynjy0 [20]

Yasir wanted to study the relationship between sleep and room color. So he has done all the background study required on the topic and arrived at a hypothesis that people fall asleep more rapidly in a room painted in blue color than in a room painted yellow. Yasir inquired several people which color they like better -yellow or blue- and used their feedback to decide whether his hypothesis was correct. There was no experiment conducted to observe the effect of a room color on sleep and the variables to be tested in the experiment were not properly identified.

Therefore, the correct answer would be,

An experiment that directly tests the hypothesis

Variables to be tested by an experiment

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-255.4 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:

ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n

Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.

C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)

Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]

Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]

Q = 3.2487x10⁻³

ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)

ΔG = -255.4 kJ

Assuming equal concentrations, arrange these solutions by pH.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Highest pH(most basic)

Sr(OH)2(aq)

KOH (aq)  

NH3(aq)

HF (aq)  

HClO4(aq)

Lowest pH(most acidic)

Explanation:

The concentration of H+ ion will determine the pH of a solution. The pH actually reflects the ratio of H+ ion and OH- since both of them can combine into water. Solution with more H+ ion will have a lower pH and called acidic, while more OH- will have high pH and be called basic. Strong acid/base will be ionized more than weak acid/base.

Sr(OH)2(aq) = strong base, release 2 OH- ion per mole

KOH (aq) = Strong base, release 1 OH- per mole

NH3(aq) = weak base, release less than 1 OH- per mole

HF (aq) =strong acid, release 1 H+ per mole

HClO4(aq) = stronger acid, release 1 H+ per mole

A fixed mass of oxygen gas occupies 300cm cube at 0 degree centigrade. what volume would the gas occupy at 15 degree centigrade​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Volume occupied by oxygen gas at 15 degree centigrade​ is equal to 316.5 centimeter cube

Explanation:

Assuming Pressure is constant.

\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}

where T1 and T2 are temperature in Kelvin

Substituting the give values we get-

\frac{300}{273} = \frac{V_2}{288}

V_2 = \frac{288*300}{273} \\V_2 = 316.5

Volume occupied by oxygen gas at 15 degree centigrade​ is equal to 316.5 centimeter cube
