Explain why the pressure exerted by a gas does not depend on the type of the gas.

1 answer:

8 0

Since no matter what type of gas there is there is still a pressure exerted by it. Since the Kinetic theory of gases says " the pressure is proportional to the number of particles in the gas".
Basically pressure exerted by the gas depends rather on the temperature. the temperature increases, and the volume still says the same though.

Why is the chemical formula magnesium sulfide written as MgS and NOT Mg2S2?

Anna71 [15]

Explanation:

The chemical formula magnesium sulfide written as MgS and NOT $Mg_{2}S_{2}$ because charge on magnesium ion is +2 and charge on sulfide ion is -2.

Therefore, these charges will cancel out each other as we write the formula in simplest crisscross method.

Also, the numbers in a chemical formula display the total number of atoms attached with each other or central atom.

For example, in $CaCl_{2}$ there are two chlorine atoms attached to one calcium atom.

Therefore, $MgS$ denotes one sulfur atom is attached to magnesium atom. Hence, we do not write the formula of magnesium sulfide as $Mg_{2}S_{2}$ because this shows two magnesium atoms are attached to two sulfur atoms which is not true.

Porque sirve el teorema de pitagora

denis23 [38]

El teorema de Pitágoras se generaliza a espacios de dimensiones superiores. Algunas de las generalizaciones están lejos de ser obvias. El teorema de Pitágoras sirve como base de la fórmula de distancia euclidiana.

Espero que esto ayude, que tengan un día bendecido y maravilloso, ¡así como uno seguro! :-)

Tris is a molecule that can be used to prepare buffers for biochemical experiments. It exists in two forms: Tris (a base) and Tr

ale4655 [162]

Solution :

For the reaction :

$\text{TrisH}^+ + H_2O \rightarrow \text{Trish}^- + H_3O^+$

we have

$Ka = \frac{[\text{Tris}^- \times H_3O]}{\text{Tris}^+}$

$=\frac{x^2}{0.02 -x}$

$=8.32 \times 10^{-9}$

Clearing $x$ , we have $x = 1.29 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles of acid}$

So to reach $\text{pH} = 7.8 (\text{pOH}= 14-7.8=6.2)$ , one must have the $\text{OH}^-$ concentration of the :

$\text{[OH}^-]=10^{-pOH} = 6.31 \times 10^{-7} \text{ moles of base}$

So we can add enough of 1 M NaOH in order to neutralize the acid that is calculated above and also adding the calculated base.

$\text {n NaOH}=1.29 \times 10^{-5}+6.31 \times 10^{-7}$

$= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles}$

Volume NaOH $= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles} \times \frac{1000 \text{ mL}}{1 \text{ mol}} = 0.0135 \text{ mL}$

Tris mass $H^+ = 0.02 \text{ mol} \times 157.6 \text{ g/mol}=3.152 \text{ g}$

Now to prepare the said solution we must mix:

$3.152 \text{ g Tris H} + 0.0135 \text{ mL NaOH} \ 1 M$ gauge to 1000 mL with water.

(a) if a sample containing 2.00 ml of nitroglycerin is detonated, how many total moles of gas are produced? (b) if each mole of

gregori [183]

Detonation of nitroglycerin:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9 ------\ \textgreater \ 12CO_2+6N_2+O_2+H_2O$

Mass nitroglycerin = 2.00 mL x 1.592 g/mL = 3.184 g

Moles = mass / molar mass = 3.184 g/ 227.0872 g/mol = 0.01402

the ratio between nitroglycerin and Carbon dioxide is 4 : 12
So, moles CO2 = 0.01402 x 12 / 4 =0.0420

the ratio between nitroglycerin and N2 is 4 : 6
moles N2 = 0.01402 x 6 / 4 =0.0841

the ratio between nitroglycerin and O2 is 4 : 1 
moles O2 = 0.01402 x 1 / 4 = 0.0035

the ratio between nitroglycerin and water is 4 : 1 
in the same way moles water = 0.005258 

total moles = 0.0420 + 0.0841 + 0.0035 + 0.005258 = 0.130758

0.130758 x 55 = 5.78 L 

Mass N2 = 0.0841 mol x 28.0134 g/mol = 2.3548 g
