Properties of a compound is completely different from their elements.
Water is composed by hydrogen and oxygen.
For example, the boiling point of oxygen is - 183 °C and hydrogen is - 253 °C, meanwhile, water has a boiling point of 100°C
Another example is when you put a burning wooden splint into oxygen, it burns more brightly. Put it in hydrogen, you may hear a "pop" sound, or even explode when large amount of hydrogen. But if u put a burning splint in water, it goes off.
Mg gained mass because it went from being a single element (on the reactant side) to being a molecule (on the product side).
Answer:
B. 1.65 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2 SO₃(g)
Step 2: Calculate the moles of SO₂
The pressure of the gas is 1.20 atm and the temperature 25 °C (298 K). We can calculate the moles using the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
n = P × V / R × T
n = 1.20 atm × 1.50 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K = 0.0736 mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of SO₃ produced
0.0736 mol SO₂ × 2 mol SO₃/2 mol SO₂ = 0.0736 mol SO₃
Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0736 moles of SO₃ at STP
At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L.
0.0736 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.65 L
