This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Nitroglycerine (C₃H₅N₃O₉) explodes with tremendous force due to the numerous gaseous products. The equation for the explosion of Nitroglycerine is:

4C_3H_5N_3O_9(l)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+O_2(g)+6N_2(g)+10H_2O(g)

A scientist conducts an experiment to characterize a bomb containing nitroglycerine. She uses a steel, ridge container for the test.

Volume of rigid steel container: 1.00 L

Molar mass of Nitroglycerine: 227 g/mol

Temperature: 300 K

Amount of Nitroglycerine tested: 227 g

Value for ideal gas constant, R: 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

In a second experiment, the total pressure is observed to be 58 atm. what is the partial pressure of the water vapor produced?

Answer : The partial pressure of the water vapor is, 20.01 atm

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of C_3H_5N_3O_9

\text{Moles of }C_3H_5N_3O_9=\frac{\text{Given mass }C_3H_5N_3O_9}{\text{Molar mass }C_3H_5N_3O_9}=\frac{227g}{227g/mol}=1mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of CO_2,O_2,N_2\text{ and }H_2O

The balanced chemical reaction is:

4C_3H_5N_3O_9(l)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+O_2(g)+6N_2(g)+10H_2O(g)

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 4 moles of C_3H_5N_3O_9 react to give 12 moles of CO_2

So, 1 moles of C_3H_5N_3O_9 react to give \frac{12}{4}=3 moles of CO_2

and,

As, 4 moles of C_3H_5N_3O_9 react to give 1 moles of O_2

So, 1 moles of C_3H_5N_3O_9 react to give \frac{1}{4}=0.25 moles of O_2

and,

As, 4 moles of C_3H_5N_3O_9 react to give 6 moles of N_2

So, 1 moles of C_3H_5N_3O_9 react to give \frac{6}{4}=1.5 moles of N_2

and,

As, 4 moles of C_3H_5N_3O_9 react to give 10 moles of H_2O

So, 1 moles of C_3H_5N_3O_9 react to give \frac{10}{4}=2.5 moles of H_2O

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of water.

\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2O}{\text{Moles of }H_2O+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }O_2+\text{Moles of }N_2}

\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{2.5}{2.5+3+0.25+1.5}=0.345

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of the water vapor.

According to the Raoult's law,

p_{H_2O}=X_{H_2O}\times p_T

where,

p_{H_2O} = partial pressure of water vapor gas  = ?

p_T = total pressure of gas  = 58 atm

X_{H_2O} = mole fraction of water vapor gas  = 0.345

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

p_{H_2O}=X_{H_2O}\times p_T

p_{H_2O}=0.345\times 58atm=20.01atm

Therefore, the partial pressure of the water vapor is, 20.01 atm

The radius of a hydrogen atom is 37 pm and its mass is 1.67 × 10-24 g. What is the density of the atom in grams per cubic centim
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

V = 4/3 * 3.1416 * (37x10-10)3

V = 2.12x10-25 cm3

d = m/V

d = 1.67x10-24 / 2.12x10-25 = 7.87 g/cm3

The difference in temperature, let's convert F to ºC:

ºC = -80-32/1.8 = -62.22 ºC

dT = -92.6 + 62.2 = -30.4 ºC

Jobisdone [24]
You can use P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 but since pressure is constant is becomes V1/T1=V2/T2

V1=0.5 L
T1=203 K
T2=273 K
V2=unknown

0.5L/203 = V2/273
V2= 0.67 L so C

Hope this helps :)

elena-s [515]

The large piece of jewelry  that has a mass of 132.6 g and when is submerged in a graduated cylinder that initially contains 48.6 ml water and the volume increases to 61.2 ml once the piece of jewelry is submerged, has a density of: 10.523 g/ml

To solve this problem the formulas and the procedures that we have to use  are:

  • v = v(f)-v(i)
  • d = m/v

Where:

  • d= density
  • m= mass
  • v= volume
  • v(f) = final volume
  • v(i) = initial volume

Information about the problem:

  • m = 132.6 g
  • v(i) = 48.6 ml
  • v(f) = 61.2 ml
  • v = ?
  • d =?

Applying the volume formula we get:

v = v(f)-v(i)

v = 61.2 ml - 48.6 ml

v = 12.6 ml

Applying the density  formula we get:

d = m/v

d = 132.6 g/12.6 ml

d = 10.523 g/ml

<h3>What is density?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that expresses the ratio of the body mass to the volume it occupies.
