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

I hope it helps!

Arrange the sublevels in ascending order by the number of electrons they can contain. p sublevel s sublevel d sublevel f subleve
inn [45]

Electronic configuration of the atom describes  the arrangemnet of electrons in different shells and subshells ( sublevels).

Now , there are 4 types of sublevels: s, p , d and f . These sublevels have orbital which are spaces with high probability of having an electron and each orbital can have maximum 2 electrons.

Therefore,

s-sublevel has 1 orbital - it can have maximum 2 electrons.

p-sublevel has 3 orbitals - it can have maximum 6 electrons

d-sublevel has 5 orbitals - it can have maximum 10 electrons

f-sublevel has 7 orbitals - it can have maximum 14 electrons.

Hence, the acsending order of sublevels in terms of maximum number of electrons is:

<h2>s < p < d < f</h2>

Individual solute particles are broken apart from the solid by these particles. * a Solution b Insoluble c Solvent d Compounds
Maru [420]

Answer:

Individual solute particles are broken apart from the solid by the;

c. Solvent

Explanation:

A solution is the homogeneous mixture that is made up of two or more substances formed by dissolving a substance which can be a solid, liquid or gas in another substance known as the solvent which normally the larger part of the fraction of the solution than the solute and can also be a solid, liquid or a gas

In a solution the solvent particles serves to brake of and disperser parts of a solid solute to form a more or less homogeneous mixture

Therefore, the solute particles are broken by the <u>solvent</u> particles in a solution
