A flashbulb of volume 2.70 mL contains O2(g) at a pressure of 2.30 atm and a temperature of 30.0 °C. How many grams of O2(g) doe
Sholpan [36]
P = 2.30 atm

Volume in liter = 2.70 mL / 1000 => 0.0027 L

Temperature in K = 30.0 + 273 => 303 K

R = 0.082 atm

molar mass O2 = 31.9988 g/mol

number of moles O2 :

P * V = n * R* T

2.30 * 0.0027 = n * 0.082 * 303

0.00621 = n * 24.846

n = 0.00621 / 24.846

n = 0.0002499 moles of O2

Mass of O2:

n = m / mm

0.0002499 = m / 31.9988

m = 0.0002499 * 31.9988

m = 0.008 g

What is the definition of enriched uranium
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Enriched uranium-

Explanation:

Enriched uranium is a type of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium-235 (written ²³⁵U) has been increased through the process of isotope separation. Naturally occurring uranium is composed of three major isotopes: uranium-238 (²³⁸U with 99.2739–99.2752% natural abundance), uranium-235 (²³⁵U, 0.7198–0.7202%), and uranium-234 (²³⁴U, 0.0050–0.0059%). U is the only nuclide existing in nature (in any appreciable amount) that is fissile with thermal neutrons.

A 1.800-g sample of solid phenol (C6H5OH(s)) was burned in a bomb calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 11.66 kJ/?C. The temp
vichka [17]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation:

C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 32.454 kJ/g

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 3,050 kJ/mol

Explanation:

C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)

Heat capacity of calorimeter = C = 11.66 kJ/°C

Initial temperature of the calorimeter = T_1= 21.36^oC

Final temperature of the calorimeter = T_2= 26.37^oC

Heat absorbed by calorimeter = Q

Q=C\times \Delta T

Heat released during reaction = Q'

Q' = -Q ( law of conservation of energy)

Energy released on combustion of 1.800 grams of phenol = Q' = -(58.4166 kJ)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

\frac{Q'}{1.800 g}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ}{1.800 g}=32.454 kJ/g

Molar mass of phenol = 94 g/mol

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

\frac{Q'}{\frac{1.800 g}{94 g/mol}}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ\times 94 g/mol}{1.800 g}=3,050 kJ/mol
