A flask containing helium gas is connected to an open-ended mercury manometer. The open end is exposed to the atmosphere, where

the prevailing pressure is 752 torr. The mercury level in the open arm is 26 mm above that in the arm connected to the flask of helium.What is the helium pressure, in torr?

Answer:

726 torr

Explanation:

Generally, atmospheric pressure can be measured using a manometer which is in form of a U-shaped tube. In addition, 1 mm Hg is equivalent to 1 torr. Therefore, 752 torr is equivalent to 752 mm Hg. Therefore, the total pressure will be equivalent to the atmospheric pressure (mm Hg) + the mercury height.

In this case, the mercury height = -26 mm

Thus:

The helium pressure = 752 - 26 = 726 mm Hg

This is also equivalent to 726 torr

Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of NOCl(g) at 25 ºC, knowing that the standard enthalpy of formation of NO(g) at th
stepan [7]

Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of NOCl(g) at 25 ºC is 105 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The ∆H (heat of reaction) of the combustion reaction is the heat that accompanies the entire reaction. For its calculation you must make the total sum of all the heats of the products and of the reagents affected by their stoichiometric coefficient (number of molecules of each compound that participates in the reaction) and finally subtract them:

Enthalpy of the reaction= ΔH = ∑Hproducts - ∑Hreactants

In this case, you have:  2 NOCl(g) → 2 NO(g) + Cl₂(g)

So, ΔH=2*H_{NO} +H_{Cl_{2} }-2*H_{NOCl}

Knowing:

  • ΔH= 75.5 kJ/mol
  • H_{NO}= 90.25 kJ/mol
  • H_{Cl_{2} }= 0 (For the formation of one mole of a pure element the heat of formation is 0, in this caseyou have as a pure compound  the chlorine Cl₂)
  • H_{NOCl}=?

Replacing:

75.5 kJ/mol=2* 90.25 kJ/mol + 0 - H_{NOCl}

Solving

-H_{NOCl}=75.5 kJ/mol - 2*90.25 kJ/mol

-H_{NOCl}=-105 kJ/mol

H_{NOCl}=105 kJ/mol

<u><em>The standard enthalpy of formation of NOCl(g) at 25 ºC is 105 kJ/mol</em></u>

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

1.584e10 = 15,840,000,000,000

Explanation:

250,000 miles

multiply the length value by 63360

25e4 x 63360

= 1.584e10

If 72.5 grams of calcium metal (Ca) react with 65.0 grams of oxygen gas (O2) in a synthesis reaction, how many grams of the exce
Natali5045456 [20]
2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)

65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.

Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)

=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over
