How many oxygen is produced in Laboratory?

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen is one of the most abundant elements on this planet. Our atmosphere is 21% free elemental oxygen. Oxygen is also extensively combined in compounds in the earths crust, such as water (89%) and in mineral oxides. Even the human body is 65% oxygen by mass.

Free elemental oxygen occurs naturally as a gas in the form of diatomic molecules, O2 (g). Oxygen exhibits many unique physical and chemical properties. For example, oxygen is a colorless and odorless gas, with a density greater than that of air, and a very low solubility in water. In fact, the latter two properties greatly facilitate the collection of oxygen in this lab. Among the unique chemical properties of oxygen are its ability to support respiration in plants and animals, and its ability to support combustion.

In this lab, oxygen will be generated as a product of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. A catalyst is used to speed up the rate of the decomposition reaction, which would otherwise be too slow to use as a source of oxygen. The catalyst does not get consumed by the reaction, and can be collected for re-use once the reaction is complete. The particular catalyst used in this lab is manganese(IV) oxide.

Natural gas is almost entirely methane. A container with a volume of 2.65L holds 0.120mol of methane. What will the volume be if

mrs_skeptik [129]

The final volume of the methane gas in the container is 6.67 L.

The given parameters;

initial volume of gas in the container, V₁ = 2.65 L
initial number of moles of gas, n₁ = 0.12 mol
additional concentration, n = 0.182 mol

The total number of moles of gas in the container is calculated as follows;

$n_t = 0.12 + 0.182 = 0.302 \ mol$

The final volume of gas in the container is calculated as follows;

$PV = nRT\\\\\frac{V}{n} = \frac{RT}{P} \\\\\frac{V_1}{n_1} = \frac{V_2}{n_2} \\\\V_2 = \frac{V_1 n_2}{n_1} \\\\V_2 = \frac{2.65 \times 0.302}{0.12} \\\\V_2 = 6.67 \ L$
