Answer:

a. 0.0192 ppm, and b. 8.70×10^{-7}

Explanation:

a. Calculation of parts per million (PPM) of SO2

The concentration of SO2 according to the question is 25 micrograms (ug) per 1 cubic meter (m3), so we need to convert both values to the same mass unit in order to calculate the parts per million. In this case, we will convert both values to grams:

25 ug = 25×10^{-6} g ......(i)

1 m3 = 1,000 L, but the density of the air is 1.3 g/L, so 1 L weighs 1.3 g. Using a rule of three:

1 L → 1.3 g

1,000 L → ?

? = 1,300 g

So, 1 m3 (cubic meter) of air weighs 1,300 g ......(ii)

Now we can calculate the parts per million by dividing the number of grams of SO2 (i) times the number of grams of air (ii) times 10^{6}:

PPM = (25×10^{-6} g)/(1,300 g)×10^{6} = 0.0192 ppm

b. Calculation of moles of SO2 per 100 mol of air

As we do not have any temperature mentioned in the question, we can not use the ideal gas equation to calculate the number of moles of air. So we will use the average weight of a mol of air, that is 28.97 g/mol

From (ii) we know that 1 m3 weighs 1,300 g, so we can apply a rule of three to get the number of moles we have in 1 m3:

28.97 g → 1 mol

1,300 g → ? moles of air

? = 1,300/28.97 = 44.874 moles of air

Also, from (i) we know that in 1 m3 of air we have 25×10^{-6} g of SO2. This amount can be expressed in moles by using the molar mass of SO2 that is 64 g/mol (S=32, O=16 and 32+2×16 = 64), using a rule of three:

64 g → 1 mol

25×10^{-6} g → ? moles of SO2

? = 3.91×10^{-7} moles of SO2

Now, we can calculate the moles of SO2 per 100 moles of air by doing the following:

moles of SO2 per 100 moles of air = (3.91×10^{-7})/(44.874)×100 = 8.70×10^{-7}

On increasing which of the following factors, decreases the extent of physisorption? Surface area of the adsorbent Critical temp
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: On increasing temperature at which adsorption is carried out decreases the extent of physisorption.

Explanation:

An adsorption where molecules of the adsorbate are placed or held on the surface of adsorbent by Vander waals forces is called physisorption.

There is basically physical bonding between the molecules of gas to the surface of a solid or liquid.

Physisorption is reversible in nature and occurs at low temperatures.

It is not specific in nature which means that all gases are adsorbed on the surface of every solid substance to some extent.

Thus, we can conclude that on increasing temperature at which adsorption is carried out decreases the extent of physisorption.

Calculate the missing variables in each experiment below using Avogadro’s law.
blagie [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter c

Explanation:

Data

V1 = 612 ml    n1 = 9.11 mol

V2 = 123 ml    n2 = ?

Formula

                               \frac{V1}{n1}  =  \frac{V2}{n2}

                                         n2 = \frac{n1V2}{V1}

                                         n2 = \frac{(9.11)((123)}{(612)}

                                                n2 = 1.83 mol
