When the reaction equation is:
CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)
we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.
to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
when P is the pressure = 1.1 atm
and V is the volume = 14.5 L
n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)
R ideal gas constant = 0.0821
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K
so, by substitution:
1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5
∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)
= 0.68 moles SO2
∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles
so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:
when mass = moles * molar mass
and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol
∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g
The arrangement of the elements in order of decreasing metallic character is: Rb, Zn, P, S, F, Ca, Co, Cr
<h3 /><h3>What are metals?</h3>
Metals are elements which are known by their special ability to form ions by a loss of electrons.
The increasing metallic character of metal is a measure of their ability to lose electrons.
Metallic character increases from right to left and down a group in the period table.
Metals are found to the left of the period table.
In conclusion, metals are known by their ability to lose electrons.
