A cylinder of compressed gas rolls off a boat and falls to the bottom of a lake. Eventually it rusts and the gas bubbles to the

surface. A chemist collects a sample of the gas with the idea of trying to identify the gas. The wet gas collected occupies a volume of 285 mL at a pressure of 726 torr and temperature of 28.0oC. The vapor pressure of water at 28.0oC is 0.0372 atm.
1. Calculate the volume (L) that the gas occupies after it is dried (the water vapor removed) and stored at STP.

The mass of the dry gas is 214 mg. A fragment of the tank indicates that the gas is a monoatomic element.

2. Write out the full name of the gas.

Answer:

The volume that the gas occupies at STP is 237mL.

Gas is neon.

Explanation:

Using general gas law, the volume that the gas occupies after is dried at STP (273,15K; 1atm) is:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

The pressure of the wet gas is:

726torr×\frac{1atm}{760torr} = 0,955atm

As vapor pressure of water is 0,0372atm, the pressure of the wet gas is:

0,955atm-0,0372atm = <em>0,9178atm.</em>

Replacing:

0,9178atm×285mL/301,15K = 1atm×V2/273,15K

<em>V2 = 237mL</em>

To solve this problem it is necessary to obtain the moles of gas using gas law and, knowing the mass of the dry gas, it is possible to obtain the atomic mass of the element to know which one is.

Gas law is:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

Where P is pressure. The pressure of the wet gas is:

726torr×\frac{1atm}{760torr} = 0,955atm

As vapor pressure of water is 0,0372atm, the pressure of the wet gas is:

0,955atm-0,0372atm = <em>0,9178atm.</em>

V is volume: <em>0,285L.</em>

R is gas constant: <em>0,082atmL/molK</em>

And T is temperature (28°C + 273,15 = <em>301,15K</em>)

Replacing:

n = 0,0106moles

As mass of dry tank is 214mg=0,214g. The atomic mass of the gas is:

0,214g/0,0106mol = 20,189 g/mol

Thus, <em>gas is neon</em>, because atomic mass of Ne is 20,18g/mol

During photosynthesis, plant cells use sunlight as an energy source; animal cells cannot do this. What substance do Animal cells
8090 [49]

Answer:

Chlorophyll

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process through which plant cells use carbon dioxide & water to create oxygen & energy rich organic compounds. They do so by converting sunlight ie light energy into chemical energy. This is possible due to presence of chlorophyll in them. Animals can't do so, as they dont have chlorophyll.

NH4NO3, whose heat of solution is 25.7 kJ/mol, is one substance that can be used in cold pack. If the goal is to decrease the te
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

There are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

Explanation:

To decrease the temperature of the solution there are necessaries:

4,184J/g°C×(5,0°C-25,0°C)×(100,0g+X) = -Y

8368J + 83,68J/gX = Y <em>(1)</em>

Where x are grams of NH₄NO₃ you need to add and Y is the energy that you need to decrease the heat.

Also, the energy Y will be:

Y = 25700J/mol×\frac{1mol}{80,043g}X

Y = 321J/g X <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1)

8368J + 83,68J/g X = 321J/g X

8363J = 237,32J/gX

<em>X = 35,2g</em>

<em />

Thus, there are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

I hope it helps!

A solution is made by mixing 37.g of thiophene C4H4S and 72.g of heptane C7H16. Calculate the mole fraction of thiophene in this
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

0.38

Explanation:

Molar mass of thiophene= 84g/mol

Mass of thiophene = 37g

Number of moles= 37/84= 0.44 moles

Molar mass of heptane= 100 g/mol

Mass of heptane = 72g

Number of moles = 72/100= 0.72 moles

Total number of moles= 0.44 + 0.72= 1.16 moles

mole fraction of thiophene = 0.44/1.16= 0.38

Pure research becomes ___ when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The answer is <u>applied research</u>

Explanation:

Pure research becomes <u>applied research</u> when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem.

This is because the pure research try to understand, predict or explain the behavior of different phenomena <em>(the data)</em> while the applied research try to develop new technologies or methods (<em>hypothesis)</em> to take part, intervene and/or create changes on these phenomena and solve a <em>specific problem.</em>
