A blimp floats because it is filled with helium gas (He) which has a smaller molecular mass than air (in g/mol). Helium can lift

objects because it exhibits a buoyant force equal to the difference in grams/mol. At room conditions (P = 1 atm, T = 25 degrees Celsius) what volume of helium would lift a pound?(A) 611 L(B) 37.3 L(C) 444 L(D) 2777 L

Answer:

444 L

Explanation:

According to Archimedes the buoyancy force  is equal to the weight of the displaced substance. In this case, the displaced substance is Air. So to calculate the lifting power of Helium, start with the weight of air in volume

Since the Helium itself has weight, we need to use the difference in density between air and helium.

We know that the density of air is 1.2 kg/m^3

Density of Helium is 0.1787  kg/m^3

To lift a object of 1 pound  which is equal to 0.453 kg we need \frac{0.453}{1.2-0.1787}=0.444 m^3 helium There is 1000 liters in a m^3

So the required volume of helium= 0.444×1000=444 L

What is the molecular formula for Tricarbon nonachloride?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

C_{3}Cl_{9}

Explanation:

Molecular Formula is representation of the chemical compound in terms of the symbols of all the elements that are present in the compound followed by subscripts, which give the count of each element in that compound.

We need to write the molecular formula of Tricarbon nonachloride. Tri means three, so Tricarbon means there are 3 atoms of Carbon. Likewise, nona stands for 9, so nonachloride means there are 9 atoms of chlorine. Therefore, we can represent nonachloride as:

Carbon (3 atoms) Chlorine (9 atoms) = C_{3}Cl_{9}

Thus, molecular formula of Tricarbon nonachloride is C_{3}Cl_{9}

What pressure (in atm) will 0.44 moles of co2 exert in a 2.6 l container at 25°c?
Lilit [14]
We can use the ideal gas law equation to find the pressure 
PV = nRTwhere 
P - pressure 
V - volume  - 2.6 x 10⁻³ m³ 
n - number of moles - 0.44 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 25 °C + 273 = 298 K
substituting the values into the equation,
P x 2.6 x 10⁻³ m³  = 0.44 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 298 K
P = 419 281.41 Pa
101 325 Pa is equivalent to 1 atm 
Therefore 419 281.41 Pa - 1/ 101 325 x 419 281.41 = 4.13 atm
Pressure is 4.13 atm

You double the partial pressure of a gas over a liquid at constant temperature. Which of these statements is then true? a. The H
natka813 [3]

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Henry's Law, mass of a gas which will dissolve into a solution is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the solution.

Mathematically,   C = k_{H} \times P

where,   k_{H} = Henry's constant

               P = partial pressure

Since, concentration is directly proportional to partial pressure of a gas. Hence, more is the partial pressure more will be the number of molecules present in the liquid.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement there are twice as many gas molecules in the liquid, is true.
