67.4 L of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas at 0.0C and at 1 atm of pressure is equivalent aren’t to how many moles?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Solution here,

Volume(V)=67.4 L

Pressure(P)=1 atm

Temperature(T)=(0+273)K=273K

Universal gas constant(R)=0.0821 L.atm.mol^-1K^-1

No. of moles(n)=?

Now,

PV=nRT

or, 1×67.4=n×0.0821×273

or, 67.4=22.4n

or, n=67.4/22.4

or, n=3

therefore, required no. of mole is 3.

I have 2 samples of solid chalk (aka calcium carbonate). Sample A has a total mass of 4.12 g and Sample B has a total mass of 19

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules

Explanation:

M = Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

For the 4.12 g sample

Moles of a substance is given by

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.12}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.0411\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.0411\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

For the 19.37 g sample

$n=\dfrac{19.37}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.193\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.193\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$

$1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}>2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

So, sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules.

The ratio of the elements of carbon, oxygen, calcium atoms, ions, has to be same in both the samples otherwise the samples cannot be considered as calcium carbonate. Same is applicable for impurities. If there are impurites then the sample cannot be considered as calcium carbonate.

What evidence supports the law of conservation of energy?

Travka [436]

Answer:

light energy is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy says: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed-only converted from one form of energy to another.

The value of the entropy change for the process N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) --> 2NH₃ (g) is ________.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

negative

Explanation:

Entropy is a measure of the "disorder" in a system.

In this reaction, the amount of disorder decreases. This is because one gas molecule (NH₃) has more order than two gas molecules (N₂ and H₂). Therefore, the entropy change should be negative.
