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!

Which of the following regarding atmospheric pressure is true?
butalik [34]

Answer:

1- Option (A)

2- Option (A)

Explanation:

The pressure is often defined as the force per unit area. In the atmosphere, the pressure is maximum at the troposphere and is tightly packed near the ground surface. The troposphere is the region where the temperature decreases with the increasing height. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is nearly 1013.2 millibar (mb). The difference in the pressure in this layer causes the wind that is responsible for the occurrence of different types of weather patterns.

The earth and the sun maintains the shortest distance at its Perihelion position, which takes place in the month of January during the winter season in the northern hemisphere. And on the other hand, the earth is far away from the sun at its Aphelion position that takes place in the month of July.

Hence, the correct answers are given above.

Plastics are synthetic, organic polymers. how are plastics similar and different to polysaccharides
yawa3891 [41]
Plastics and polysaccharides are somewhat similar because they are both polymers. Polymers are a long chain of repeating units called monomers. Their difference, however, is the identity of their monomers. Plastics have hydrocarbons as monomers. Plastics with the monomer ethene is called polyethylene. For polysaccharides, their monomers are simple sugars.
