1) Calculate the number of moles of O2 (g) in 300 cm^3 of gas at 298 k and 1 atm


Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT


R = 0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol

V = 300 cm^3 = 0.300 liter

T = 298 K

p = 1 atm


=> n = 1 atm * 0.300 liter / [ (0.0821 atm*liter /K*mol) * 298K] = 0.01226 mol


2) The reaction of a metal with O2(g) to form an ionic compound (with O2- ions) is of the type


X (+) + O2 (g) ---> X2O          or   


2 X(2+) + O2(g) ----> X2O2 = 2XO     or


4X(3+) + 3O2(g) ---> 2X2O3


 
In the first case, 1 mol of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the second case, 2 moles of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the third, 4 moles of X react with 3 moles of O2(g)



So, lets probe those 3 cases.


3) Case 1: 1 mol of metal X / 1 mol O2(g) = x moles / 0.01226 mol

=> x = 0.01226 moles of metal X


Now you can calculate the atomic mass of the hypotethical metal:

1.15 grams / 0.01226 mol = 93.8 g / mol


That does not correspond to any of the metal with valence 1+


So, now probe the case 2.



4) Case 2:


2moles X metal / 1 mol O2(g) = x / 0.01226 mol


=> x = 2 * 0.01226 = 0.02452 mol


And the atomic mass of the metal is: 1.15 g / 0.02452 mol = 46.9 g/mol


That is similar to the atomic mass of titanium which is 47.9 g / mol and whose valece is 2+.


4) Case 3


4 mol meta X / 3 mol O2 = x / 0.01226 => x = 0.01226 * 4 / 3 = 0.01635 


atomic mass = 1.15 g / 0.01635 mol = 70.33 g/mol


That does not correspond to any metal.


Conclusion: the identity of the metallic element could be titanium.

if we began with 32.0 grams of oxygen and all of the hydrogen that you need, how many grams of water can be made?
Elza [17]

36 gram of water can be made.

 The molar mass of O is 16g and Hydrogen is 1g in H2O there is one oxygen only but in question is given 32g of oxygen so, 2 moles of oxygen should be there so it will become 32g that means 2H2O so overall 2[2*1+16] = 36g.

What is Balanced equation?

When number of moles of both the reactants and products are equal then it is known as balanced chemical equation.

A prokaryotic cell is a cell without a nucleus (there's more to it, though).

Let's start from the bottom.

Strawberry plant: Plant cells are eukaryotic (cells have nucleus).
Hippopotamus: Animal cells are eukaryotic (cells have nucleus).
Paramecium: That's an animal, and animal cells are eukaryotic (cells have nucleus).
Bacterium: Perfect! Bacterium are prokaryotes! (cells don't have nucleus).

Your answer is bacterium.

Have an awesome day! :)

What alkene(s) would be produced from the dehydration of cyclopentanol?
Ronch [10]
The dehydration of cyclopentanol is shown in the balanced equation below:

Cyclopentanol => cyclopentene + H2O

Therefore, the alkene produced from the dehydration of cyclopentanol is cyclopentene. 

The OH group is removed from the compound resulting to an alkene, cyclopentene. <span />
