Answer:

The volume of hydrogen gas produced will be approximately 50.7 liters under STP.

Explanation:

Relative atomic mass data from a modern periodic table:

  • H: 1.008;
  • Cl: 35.45.

Magnesium is a reactive metal. It reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce

  • Hydrogen gas \rm H_2, and
  • Magnesium chloride, which is a salt.

The chemical equation will be something like

\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl \;(aq)\to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ [\text{Formula of the Salt}],

where the coefficients and the formula of the salt are to be found.

To determine the number of moles of \rm H_2 that will be produced, first find the formula of the salt, magnesium chloride.

Magnesium is a group 2 metal. The oxidation state of magnesium in compounds tends to be +2.

On the other hand, the charge on each chloride ion is -1. Each magnesium ion needs to pair up with two chloride ions for the charge to balance in the salt, magnesium chloride. The formula for the salt will be \rm MgCl_2.

\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ ?\;MgCl_2\;(aq).

Balance the equation. \rm MgCl_2 contains the largest number of atoms among all species in this reaction. Start by setting its coefficient to 1.

\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ {\bf 1\;MgCl_2}\;(aq).

The number of \rm Mg and \rm Cl atoms shall be the same on both sides. Therefore

\rm {\bf 1\;Mg}\;(s) + {\bf 2\;HCl}\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ {1\;\underset{\wedge}{Mg}\underset{\wedge}{Cl_2}}\;(aq).

The number of \rm H atoms shall also conserve. Hence the equation:

\rm {1\;Mg}\;(s) + {2\;\underset{\wedge}{H}Cl}\;(aq) \to {\bf 1\;H_2 \;(g)}+ {1\;MgCl_2}\;(aq).

How many moles of HCl are available?

M(\rm HCl) = 1.008 + 35.45 = 36.458\;g\cdot mol^{-1}.

\displaystyle n({\rm HCl}) = \frac{m(\text{HCl})}{M(\text{HCl})} = \rm \frac{165.0\;g}{36.458\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 4.52576\;mol.

How many moles of Hydrogen gas will be produced?

Refer to the balanced chemical equation, the coefficient in front of \rm HCl is 2 while the coefficient in front of \rm H_2 is 1. In other words, it will take two moles of \rm HCl to produce one mole of \rm H_2. \rm 4.52576\;mol of \rm HCl will produce only one half as much \rm H_2.

Alternatively, consider the ratio between the coefficient in front of \rm H_2 and \rm HCl is:

\displaystyle \frac{n(\text{H}_2)}{n(\text{HCl})} = \frac{1}{2}.

\displaystyle n(\text{H}_2) = n(\text{HCl})\cdot \frac{n(\text{H}_2)}{n(\text{HCl})} = \frac{1}{2}\;n(\text{HCl}) = \rm \frac{1}{2}\times 4.52576\;mol = 2.26288\;mol.

What will be the volume of that many hydrogen gas?

One mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters under STP (where the pressure is 1 atm.) On certain textbook where STP is defined as \rm 1.00\times 10^{5}\;Pa, that volume will be 22.7 liters.

V(\text{H}_2) = \rm 2.26288\;mol\times 22.4\;L\cdot mol^{-1} = 50.69\; L, or

V(\text{H}_2) = \rm 2.26288\;mol\times 22.7\;L\cdot mol^{-1} = 51.37\; L.

The value "165.0 grams" from the question comes with four significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that in calculations. Round the final result to four significant figures.

Two moles of an ideal gas are placed in a container whose volume is 2.3 x 10^-3 m3. The absolute pressure of the gas is 6.9 x 10
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

K.E.=1.97\times 10^{-21}\ J

Explanation:

Given that:-

Pressure = 6.9\times 10^5\ Pa

The expression for the conversion of pressure in Pascal to pressure in atm is shown below:

P (Pa) = \frac {1}{101325} P (atm)

Given the value of pressure = 43,836 Pa

So,  

6.9\times 10^5\ Pa = \frac{6.9\times 10^5}{101325} atm

Pressure = 6.80977 atm

Volume = 2.3\times 10^{-3}\ m^3 = 2.3 L ( 1 m³ = 1000 L)

n = 2 mol

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

6.80977 atm × 2.3 L = 2 mol × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × T

⇒T = 95.39 K

The expression for the kinetic energy is:-

K.E.=\frac{3}{2}\times K\times T

k is Boltzmann's constant = 1.38\times 10^{-23}\ J/K

T is the temperature

So, K.E.=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 95.39\ J

K.E.=1.97\times 10^{-21}\ J

Check solution in explanation

Explanation:

Average atomic mass = ( mass 1× abudance) + ( mass 2× abudance)+ ( mass 3× abudance) / 100

(149×13.8)+(152×44.9) +(154×41.3)/100

2056.2 + 6824.8 + 6360.2/100
