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}

How many milliliters of 0. 0140 m na2s2o3 solution are needed to dissolve 0. 590 g of agbr? agbr(s) 2na2s2o3(aq)→na3ag(s2o3)2(aq
Marina86 [1]

The molarity of the solution can be used to give the moles and the volume of the solution. The 0.0140 M sodium thiosulfate needs 225 ml of volume.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity is the property of the solution that is given by the ratio of the moles of the solute to the volume of the solution in liters.

Given,

Molarity of Sodium thiosulfate = 0.0140 M

Mass of solute (AgBr) = 0.590 gm

Molar mass of AgBr = 187.77 g/mol

First moles from the mass can be calculated as,

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

n = 0.590 g ÷ 187.77 g/mol

= 0.00314 moles

Now, the volume of the solution from molarity is calculated as,

Volume = moles ÷ molarity

= 0.00314 moles ÷ 0.0140

= 0.225 L

Therefore, 225 mL is the volume required.

A gaseous mixture consisting of nitrogen, argon, and oxygen is in a 3.5-L vessel at 25C. Determine the number of moles of oxygen
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Number of moles of oxygen = 0.037  mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Total pressure = 98.5 KPa

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 22.0 KPa

Partial pressure of argon = 50.0 KPa

Volume = 3.5 L

Temperature = 25°C (25+273= 298K)

Number of moles of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Total pressure = P(N₂) + P(O₂) + P(Ar)

98.5 KPa = 22.0 KPa +P(O₂) + 50.0 KPa

98.5 KPa = 72.0 KPa +P(O₂)

P(O₂)  = 98.5 KPa - 72.0 KPa

P(O₂)  = 26.5 KPa

KPa to atm:

26.5 KPa/ 101 = 0.262 atm

Number of moles of oxygen:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 0.262 atm × 3.5 L / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K  × 298 K

n = 0.917atm.L /24.47atm.L/ mol

n = 0.037  mol
