Strike anywhere matches contain the compound tetraphosphorus trisulfide, which burns to form tetraphosphorus decaoxide and sulfu

r dioxide gas. How many milliliters of sulfur dioxide, measured at 747 torr and 23.8°C, can be produced from burning 0.576 g of tetraphosphorus trisulfide?

Answer:

194.6 mL of SO₂

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

P₄S₃ + 6O₂(g) → P₄O₁₀ + 3SO₂(g)

<u>To solve this problem we need to use PV=nRT</u>, so first let's convert the given units:

23.8 °C → 23.8 + 273.15 = 296.95 K

747 torr → 747/760 = 0.983 atm

We need to calculate V, so in order to do that we calculate n, using the mass of the reactant (P₄S₃):

0.576 g P₄S₃ * $\frac{1molP_{4}S_{3}}{220gP_{4}S_{3}} *\frac{3molSO_{2}}{1molP_{4}S_{3}}$ = 7.85 * 10⁻³ mol SO₂ = n

Now we calculate V:

PV=nRT

0.983 atm * V = 7.85 * 10⁻³ mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 296.95 K

V = 0.1946 L

Finally we convert L into mL:

0.1946 * 1000 = 194.6 mL

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

$P_H =2.86$

$c=1.4\times 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

first write the equilibrium equaion ,

$C_3H_6O_3$ ⇄ $C_3H_5O_3^{-} +H^{+}$

assuming degree of dissociation $\alpha$ =1/10;

and initial concentraion of $C_3H_6O_3$ =c;

At equlibrium ;

concentration of $C_3H_6O_3 = c-c\alpha$

$[C_3H_5O_3^{-} ]= c\alpha$

$[H^{+}] = c\alpha$

$K_a = \frac{c\alpha \times c\alpha}{c-c\alpha}$

$\alpha$ is very small so $1-\alpha$ can be neglected

and equation is;

$K_a = {c\alpha \times \alpha}$

$[H^{+}] = c\alpha$ = $\frac{K_a}{\alpha}$

$P_H =- log[H^{+} ]$

$P_H =-logK_a + log\alpha$

$K_a =1.38\times10^{-4}$

$\alpha = \frac{1}{10}$

$P_H= 3.86-1$

$P_H =2.86$

composiion ;

$c=\frac{1}{\alpha} \times [H^{+}]$

$[H^{+}] =antilog(-P_H)$

$[H^{+} ] =0.0014$

$c=0.0014\times \frac{1}{10}$

$c=1.4\times 10^{-4}$

In separating mixtures is it an advantage or a disadvantage?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Purpose: To become familiar with the techniques for separation of amixture of solids.

Explanation:

a mixture of pure substances. If you have a mixture of tennis ballsand marbles (not pure substances by the way), it would be easy toseparate the mixture. However, it is more difficult to separate asand (also not a pure substance) and salt mixture. Even with verygood tweezers and a magnifying glass, it would be extremelytedious. You could take advantage of the fact that salt dissolvesin water and sand does not. To separate iron powder from an ironand sand mixture you can take advantage of the magnetic propertiesof iron and separate the mixture.

To summarize a complete procedure for separating a mixture ofseveral substances, it is best to prepare a flow chart. A flowchartis a schematic representation of an algorithm or a stepwiseprocess, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and theirorder by connecting these with arrows. Flowcharts are used indesigning or documenting a process.
