mass of C = 0.238 g

mass of H =0.00989 g

mass of Cl = 1.05 g

Explanation:

Determine the masses of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine in the original sample of the solvent.

First we need to calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O)

molar mass of CO₂ = molar mass of C × 1 + molar mass of O × 2

molar mass of CO₂ = 12 × 1 + 16 × 2 = 44 g/mole

molar mass of H₂O = molar mass of H × 2 + molar mass of O × 1

molar mass of H₂O = 1 × 2 + 16 × 1 = 18 g/mole

Now, to find the mass of carbon and hydrogen in the original sample of solvent, we devise the following reasoning:

if              44 g of CO₂ contains 12 g of C

then   0.872 g of CO₂ contains X g of C

X = (0.872 × 12) / 44 = 0.238 g of C

if               18 g of H₂O contains 2 g of H

then   0.089 g of H₂O contains Y g of H

Y = (0.089 × 2) / 18 = 0.00989 g of H

And now, we can find the mass of chlorine:

mass of sample = mass of C + mass of H + mass of Cl

mass of Cl = mass of sample - mass of C - mass of H

mass of Cl = 1.30 - 0.238 - 0.00989

mass of Cl = 1.05 g

Which element is least likely to undergo a
aleksley [76]
The element which is least likely to undergo a chemical reaction is (4) neon.
The reason for this is because neon is a noble gas, which means that it doesn't react with other elements as well.

According to Boyle's law, for a fixed quantity of gas at a given temperature, what quantity relating pressure P and volume V is
yan [13]

<u>Answer:</u> The quantity relating pressure and volume is PV=k and the size of the tank must be 1.92\times 10^3L

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the new volume, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

Mathematically,

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

Or,

PV=k

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.

P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

P_1=160atm\\V_1=12L\\P_2=1atm\\V_2=?L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

160atm\times 12L=1atm\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{160\times 12}{1}=1920L=1.92\times 10^3L

Hence, the size of the tank must be 1.92\times 10^3L
