Answer: 40.68 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 21.7 mL

Original pressure of gas P1 = 98.8 kPa

New volume of gas V2 = 52.7 mL

New pressure of gas P2 = ?

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

98.8 kPa x 21.7 mL = P2 x 52.7L

2143.96 kPa L = 52.7 L x P2

P2 = 2143.96 kPa L / 52.7 L

P2 = 40.68 kPa

Thus, the new pressure of the gas is 40.68 kPa.

Write the correct ionic formula when given two elements that bond ionically.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:
Ionic bond is formed by the opposite ions attraction between the 2 atoms in an ionically bonded compound. The two ions i.e. Cation and Anions are formed by oxidation and reduction reactions respectively. General Ionic formula is as follow,

Mⁿ⁺ + Nⁿ⁻ → MN
where;
Mⁿ⁺ = Cation

Nⁿ⁻ = Anion

MN = Salt

Explanation:
Ionic bond is the electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged Anions. These forces are very stronger resulting in increasing several physical properties of Ionic compounds like melting point and boiling point e.t.c.

Example:

Sodium Chloride:
NaCl is formed by Na⁺ cation and Cl⁻ anion as follow,

Oxidation of Na;

2 Na → 2 Na⁺ + 2 e⁻
Reduction of Cl₂;

Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻

Crystal Lattice formation is as follow,

Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → NaCl

Why is peer review an Important part of the scientific process

guajiro [1.7K]

Peer review involves subjecting the author's scholarly work and research to the scrutiny of other experts in the same field to check its validity and evaluate its suitability for publication. A peer review helps the publisher decide whether a work should be accepted.

Which of the following reactions have a positive ΔSrxn? Check all that apply.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The reactions that have a positive ΔS rxn are the first and the fourth choices:

2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)

2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)

Explanation:

ΔS rxn is the change of entropy of the chemical reaction.

ΔS rxn = S after reaction - S before reaction.

Therefore, a positive ΔS rxn means that the entropy after the reaction is greater than the entropy before the reaction.

You may use some assumptions to predict whether a reaction will lead an increase or decrease of the entropy.

First, assume that all the non-shown conditions, such as temperature and pressure, are constant.

Under that assumption, and from the meaning of entropy as a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system you can predict the sign of the change of entropy.

2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)

1) The solid compounds, B(s) in this case, are very ordered and so they have low entropy.

2) Gas molecules are highly disordered (scattered), and the greater the number of molecules of the gas the larger the entropy, S).

Hence, since the product side shows 3 gas molecules and the reactant side shows 2 gas molecules and 1 solid molecule, you predict that the products have a larger entropy than the reactants, meaning an increase in entropy: ΔS rxn is positive.

2A(g) + B(g) → C(g)

Using the same reasoning, 3 gas molecules in the reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

A(g) + B(g) → C(g)

Again, 2 gas molecules in the reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)

With the same reasoing, 5 molecules in the product side, lets you predict that will have more entropy than 4 molecules in the reactant side, and, the entropy will increase: ΔS rxn is positive.

A gaseous mixture consisting of nitrogen, argon, and oxygen is in a 3.5-L vessel at 25C. Determine the number of moles of oxygen

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Number of moles of oxygen = 0.037 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Total pressure = 98.5 KPa

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 22.0 KPa

Partial pressure of argon = 50.0 KPa

Volume = 3.5 L

Temperature = 25°C (25+273= 298K)

Number of moles of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Total pressure = P(N₂) + P(O₂) + P(Ar)

98.5 KPa = 22.0 KPa +P(O₂) + 50.0 KPa

98.5 KPa = 72.0 KPa +P(O₂)

P(O₂) = 98.5 KPa - 72.0 KPa

P(O₂) = 26.5 KPa

KPa to atm:

26.5 KPa/ 101 = 0.262 atm

Number of moles of oxygen:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 0.262 atm × 3.5 L / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 298 K

n = 0.917atm.L /24.47atm.L/ mol

n = 0.037 mol

4 b + 3 o2 → 2 b2o3 if 8 moles of b and 4 moles of o2 are allowed to react, how many moles of b2o3 can be formed?

raketka [301]

The number of moles of b2o3 that will be formed is determined as 4 moles.

<h3>Limiting reagent</h3>

The limiting reagent is the reactant that will be completely used up.

4 b + 3O₂ → 2b₂O₃

from the equation above;

4 b ------------> 2 b₂O₃

2b ------------> b₂O₃

2 : 1

3O₂ -------------> 2b₂O₃

3 : 2

b is the limiting reagent, thus, the amount of b2o3 to be formed is calculated as;

4 b ------------> 2 moles of b2o3

8 moles -------> ?

= (8 x 2)/4

= 4 moles

Thus, the number of moles of b2o3 that will be formed is determined as 4 moles.
