Earthquakes and volcanic eruption
Answer:
66.2 % of O
Explanation:
Our compound is the lithium nitrite.
LiNO₂
This salt is ionic and can be dissociated: LiNO₂ → Li⁺ + NO₂⁻
We determine the molar mass:
molar mass of Li + 3 . molar mass of N + 6 . molar mass of O
6.94 g/mol + 3. 14 g/mol + 6 . 16 g/mol = 144.94 g/mol
The mass of oxygen contained in 1 mol of lithium nitrite is:
6 . 16 g/mol = 96 g
So the percentage of oxygen present is:
(96 g / 144.94 g) . 100 = 66.2 %
Pushing down a piston in an airtight cylinder would tend to increase the pressure in the system since the particle collision and collisions with the walls are now more frequent. Also, pushing further, the gas would undergo a phase change from gas to a liquid.
