A student analyzed an antacid tablet from a bottle containing 120 tablets purchased for $2.79. The mass of the tablet was 1.247

grams. What is the cost of one antacid tablet in cents/tablet?

The cost of one antacid is 2.325 cents per tablet.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per the question based on the student analysis we know that,

Total antacid tablets in a bottle = 120

Purchase Price of a bottle = $ 2.79

Cost of 1 antacid tablet $=\frac{2.79}{120}$

As we know $1 = 100 cent

The cost of 1 antacid tablet = $\frac{2.79}{120}$ × 100 cents = 2.325 cents/tablet .

Thus we came to know that it costs 2.325 cents/tablet .

My professor gave me two questions to solve using the Van Der Waals Equation. She told us to solve for P and the second one we h

Fed [463]

Answer:

P=atm

$b=\frac{L}{mol}$

Explanation:

The problem give you the Van Der Waals equation:

$(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})(V-nb)=nRT$

First we are going to solve for P:

$(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})=\frac{nRT}{(V-nb)}$

$P=\frac{nRT}{(V-nb)}-\frac{n^{2}a}{v^{2}}$

Then you should know all the units of each term of the equation, that is:

$P=atm$

$n=mol$

$R=\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}$

$a=atm\frac{L^{2}}{mol^{2}}$

$b=\frac{L}{mol}$

$T=K$

$V=L$

where atm=atmosphere, L=litters, K=kelvin

Now, you should replace the units in the equation for each value:

$P=\frac{(mol)(\frac{L.atm}{mol.K})(K)}{L-(mol)(\frac{L}{mol})}-\frac{(mol^{2})(\frac{atm.L^{2}}{mol^{2}})}{L^{2}}$

Then you should multiply and eliminate the same units which they are dividing each other (Please see the photo below), so you have:

$P=\frac{L.atm}{L-L}-atm$

Then operate the fraction subtraction:

P= $P=\frac{L.atm-L.atm}{L}$

$P=\frac{L.atm}{L}$

And finally you can find the answer:

P=atm

Now solving for b:

$(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})(V-nb)=nRT$

$(V-nb)=\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}$

$nb=V-\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}$

$b=\frac{V-\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}}{n}$

Replacing units:

$b=\frac{L-\frac{(mol).(\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}).K}{(atm+\frac{mol^{2}.\frac{atm.L^{2}}{mol^{2}}}{L^{2}})}}{mol}$

Multiplying and dividing units,(please see the second photo below), we have:

$b=\frac{L-\frac{L.atm}{atm}}{mol}$

$b=\frac{L-L}{mol}$

$b=\frac{L}{mol}$

How many formula units make up 19.0 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?

professor190 [17]

To convert the mass of a compound to formula units, the conversion factor is Avogadro's number, 6.022 x10^23 formula units/ mol and its molar mass. In this case, we are given with 19.0 grams of magnesium chloride which has a mass of 95.21 g/mol. Hence the answer is 1.20 x 10^23 formula units.

You find small pieces of ice instead of ice cubes in the freezer. State how this is possible.

Nat2105 [25]

Well, if u had a spilled liquid in there (we'll simply go with water) and you had the freezer at a cold temperature it would change (like,icycles on trees when it's snowing)

B. Calculate how many atoms of hydrogen are in 1. 75 moles of glucose (c6h12o6).

ycow [4]

Answer:

1.26x10^25 atoms of hydrogen

Explanation:

because there are 12 atoms of hydrogen in a molecule of glucose, multiply 12 by Avogadro's number (6.02x10^23) to get how many molecules of hydrogen there are in a mole of glucose. Then multiply that number by 1.75, which is the number of moles of glucose there is in this problem.

The mass of an object is described in what??

inessss [21]

<span>The mass of an object is measured in either grams or kilograms. Mass is best described as the amount of matter, or "stuff," in a solid, and is different from weight (which is the force of gravity on an object). Since mass is used with solids, it will be measured in grams or kilograms (rather than in something like liters, which would be used with the volume of a liquid). To measure mass, you can use a balance, for example a triple balance beam.</span>
