Explanation:

It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.

               PV = nRT

The given data is as follows.

     Pressure, P = 1500 psia,     Temperature, T = 104^{o}F = 104 + 460 = 564 R

     Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft,      R = 10.73 psia ft^{3}/lb mol R

Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.

                n = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

            m = n \times W

                = 0.594 \times 16.04

                = 9.54 lb

Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.

  • We will calculate the density as follows.

                d = \frac{PM}{RT}

                    = \frac{1500 \times 16.04}{10.73 \times 564}

                    = 3.975 lb/ft^{3}

  • Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.

  Specific gravity relative to air = \frac{\text{density of methane}}{\text{density of air}}

                         = \frac{3.975 lb/ft^{3}}{0.0765 lb/ft^{3}}

                         = 51.96

How much potassium chloride is needed to make 0.500 m solution with 1.50 L of water?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

55.9 g KCl.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of molality for the 0.500-molar solution, we need to divide the moles of solute (potassium chloride) over the kilograms of solvent as shown below:

m=\frac{mol}{kilograms}

Thus, solving for the moles of solute, we obtain:

mol=m*kilograms

Since the density of water is 1 kg/L, we obtain the following moles:

mol=0.500mol/kg*1.50kg\\\\mol=0.75mol

Next, since the molar mass of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol, the mass would be:

0.75mol*\frac{74.5513g}{1mol}\\\\55.9g \ KCl

Regards!

What is the length of the shaded grey area? write your answer to the correct number of significant digits. The unit is cm
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

1.37cm

Explanation:

It's less than 1.4cm but more than 1.3cm. It's also more than 1.35cm so I guess the best answer would be 1.37cm or round up to 1.4cm

Calculate the volume of a sample of aluminum that has a mass of 3.057 kg. The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3 (taking into con
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

v = 1130 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of sample = ?

Mass of Al sample = 3.057 Kg (3.057 Kg× 1000g/1 Kg = 3057g)

Density of Al sample = 2.70 g/cm³

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v= volume

by putting values

2.70 g/cm³ = 3057g /v

v = 3057g /2.70 g/cm³

v = 1130 cm³
