Hey there!

From ideal gas equation we know, PV = nRT

All the terms have their usual significance.

PV =w/M * RT

( where , n is number of moles = w/M, we = weight of gas, M = molecular weight of the gas)

Therefore, PV = wRT/M

At standard conditions , value of pressure, P = 1atm and standard temperature, T = 273K

And value of universal gas constant, R = 0.082 lit. atm. K⁻¹.mol⁻¹

Given that, weight of gas,

w = 5.60g and volume of gas,

V = 500mL = 0.5 Liters

Therefore, substituting all the value, we get :

Molar mass = 5.60 * 0.082 * 273 / 1 * 0.5

Molar mass = 250.7232 g/mole

How many total atoms are in 0.500 g of P2O5?

BabaBlast [244]

<span>1.49 x 10^22 atoms

First determine the molar mass of P2O5 Atomic mass of Phosphorus = 30.973762 Atomic mass of Oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of P2O5 = 2 * 30.973762 + 5 * 15.999 = 141.9425 Now determine how many moles of P2O5 you have 0.500 / 141.9425 = 0.003523 Since there's a total of 7 atoms per molecule of P2O5, multiply the number of moles by 7 to get the number of moles of atoms you have. 7 * 0.003523 = 0.024661 Finally, multiply by avogadro's number (6.0221409 x 10^23) to get the total number of atoms. 0.024661 * 6.0221409 x 10^23 = 1.48512 x 10^22</span>

What is the difference between a cup of tea at 95°C, and a drop of tea at 95°C?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Both the cup of coffee and drop of coffee have the Same temperature of 95°C.

Although the difference is the cup of coffee has more heat contained in it than the drop of coffee. An explanation is when we heat a cup of coffee it will take more time to Attain in 95°C while the drop of coffee will take less time

How many liters of wine can be held in a wine barrel whose capacity is 22.0 gal?

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

83.3 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Capacity of the wine barrel (V): 22.0 gal

Step 2: Calculate how many liters of wine can be held in the barrel

To calculate the number of liters of wine that can be held in the barrel, we need to convert 22.0 gal to liters. We will use the conversion factor 1 gal = 3.79 L.

22.0 gal × 3.79 L/1 gal = 83.3 L
