A 2.4 L balloon holds 3.7 mol He. If 1.6 mol He are added to the balloon, what is the new volume?
1 answer:
For this question, lets apply Avagadro's law
when Pressure and temperature are constant, the volume occupied is directly proportional to the number of moles of gases.
where V-volume, n-number of moles and k - constant
Therefore at 2 instances
where V1 and n1 are for 1st instance
and V2 and n2 are for 2nd instance
therefore
V1 = 2.4 L
n1 = 3.7 mol
n2 = 3.7 + 1.6 = 5.3 mol
since more He moles are added at the 2nd instance its the sum of the moles.
V2 needs to be calculated
V2 = 2.4 x 5.3 / 3.7
= 3.4 L
Answer is 1st option 3.4 L

Ibuprofen is synthesized by reacting ethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)acetate with base, the base abstracts the acidic proton and enolate is formed which on reaction with diethyl carbonate generates diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate (A). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate on treatment with Base again looses the acidic proton and forms enolate. The enolate with treatment with Methyl Iodide yields diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate (B). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate on hydrolysis give Ibuprofen.
