Answer:
4 means there are four molecules of Na₂SO₃.
Explanation:
Molecule:
A molecule is the smaller particle which can exist independently.
It may be monoatomic , diatomic, triatomic etc.
For example,
Hydrogen molecule consist of two atoms H₂
Nitrogen molecule = N₂
It may be combination of atoms of different elements.
HCl, H₂SO₄,Na₂SO₃
HCl = 1 mole of hydrochloric acid or one molecules of hydrochloric acid
H₂SO₄= 1 mole of sulfuric acid or one molecule of sulfuric acid
Na₂SO₃ = 1 mole of sodium sulfite or one molecule of sodium sulfite.
4Na₂SO₃ = 4 mole of sodium sulfite or four molecule of sodium sulfite.
The coefficient before the formula indicate the total number of molecules.
The grams of hydrogen gas can be burned if 40. liters of oxygen at 200. k and 1.0 atm is 4.88 grams.
<h3>How do we calculate grams from moles?</h3>
Grams (W) of any substance will be calculated by using their moles (n) through the following equation:
M = molar mass
And moles of the gas will be calculated by using the ideal gas equation as:
P = pressure = 1atm
V = volume = 40L
n = moles = ?
R = universal gas constant = 0.082 L.atm / K.mol
T = temperature = 200K
On putting these values on the above equation, we get
n = (1)(40) / (0.082)(200) = 2.439 = 2.44 moles
- Now grams of hydrogen gas will be calculated by using the first equation as:
W = (2.44mol)(2g/mol) = 4.88g
Hence required mass of hydrogen gas is 4.88g.
