Answer:
1.67 atm.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = ??? atm).
V is the volume of the gas in L (V = 5.0 L).
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = 0.5 mol).
R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),
T is the temperature of the gas in K (T = 203 K).
∴ P = nRT/V = (0.5 mol)(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(203 K)/(5.0 L) = 1.67 atm.
Answer: The mole ratio of Zn to ZnO is 3: 3.
Explanation:
According to law of conservation of mass, mass can be neither be created nor be destroyed. The mass on reactant side must be equal to the mass on product side. Thus the atoms of each element on both side of the reaction must be same.
The balanced chemical reaction is:

Here 3 moles of Zn combine with 2 moles of
to give 1 mole of
and 3 moles of
. Thus the mole ratio of Zn to ZnO is 3: 3.
The "sea of instability" refers to a region of elements on the periodic table that are highly unstable. These elements have extremely short half-lives that may be measured in micro- or nanoseconds. (A nanosecond is the time it takes for light to travel one foot.) This region of unstable elements surrounds the island of stability.
