Answer:

2.16 moles are lost from the container

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Moles of acetylene = 3.86 moles

Volume = 39.2 L

The volume reduces to 17.3 L

Temperature and pressure is constant

Step 2: Calculate the new number of moles acetylene

V1/ n1 = V2/ n2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume in the container = 39.2 L

⇒with n1 = the initial number of moles acetylene = 3.86 moles

⇒with V2 = the new volume in the container after the leak = 17.3 L

⇒with n2 : the new number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

39.2 L / 3.86 moles = 17.3 L / n2

n2 = 1.70 moles

Step 3: Calculate the loss of moles

Loss of moles = 3.86 - 1.70 = 2.16 moles

2.16 moles are lost from the container

\frac{V_{1} }{n_{1} } =\frac{V_{2} }{n_{2} } where V₁ is a volume, <em>n</em>₁ is a number in moles, V₂ is a second volume, and <em>n</em>₂ is its corresponding number in moles.

In our data:

  • <em>n</em>₁ = 3.86 mol C₂H₂
  • V₁ = 39.2 L
  • V₂= 17.3 L
  • <em>n</em>₂ = ?

Let's plug our values in the equation above.

\frac{39.2}{3.86} =\frac{17.3}{n} \\\\10.2=\frac{17.3}{n} \\\\10.2n=17.3\\\\n=1.70

Note: You could rearrange the equation before plugging in values for less algebraic manipulation.

We're not done yet.  Now, you have to subtract this number of moles from the initial value to find the difference, since the question states "how many moles...have been lost".

3.86-1.70=2.16

<h3>Answer:</h3>

2.16 moles would have been lost

You drop a rock weighing 23.2 g into a graduated cylinder that contains 55 mL. The level of the water rises to 62 mL. What is th
ra1l [238]

The density of the rock is 3.314g/mL

CALCULATE DENSITY:

  • According to this question, a rock weighs 23.2g. After dropping the rock into a graduated cylinder containing 55mL of water, the level changes to 62mL.

  • This means that the volume of the rock can be calculated as follows:

Volume of rock = 62mL - 55mL

Volume of rock = 7mL

Density can be calculated using the formula as follows:

Density = mass ÷ volume

Density = 23.2 ÷ 7

Density = 3.314g/mL

Therefore, the density of the rock is 3.314g/mL

In Denver, Colorado the elevation is about 5,280 feet above sea level. Explain what potential effects this may have on the solub
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The solubility of the gaseous solute decreases

Explanation:

As we know, pressure decreases with altitude. This means that, at higher altitudes, the pressure is much lower than it is at sea level.

The solubility of a gas increases with increase in pressure and decreases with decrease in pressure.

Hence, in Denver, Colorado where the elevation is about 5,280 feet above sea level, a gaseous solute is less soluble than it is at sea level due to the lower pressure at such high altitude.

The enthalpy change of the reaction when sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid react can be calculated using the mass of solution, temperature change, and specific heat of water.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction can be represented as,

H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2NaOH (aq) ----> Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2H_{2}O(l)

Given volume of the solution = 101.2 mL + 50.6 mL = 151.8 mL

Heat of the reaction, q = m C .ΔT

m is mass of the solution = 151.8 mL * \frac{1 g}{1 mL} = 151.8 g

C is the specific heat of solution = 4.18 \frac{J}{g. ^{0}C}

ΔT is the temperature change = 31.50^{0}C - 21.45^{0}C = 10.05^{0}C

q = 151.8 g (4.18 \frac{J}{g ^{0}C})(10.05^{0}C) = 6377 J

Moles of NaOH = 101.2 mL * \frac{1L}{1000 mL}*\frac{1.00 mol}{L} = 0.1012 mol NaOH

Moles of H_{2}SO_{4} = 50.6 mL * \frac{1 L}{1000 mL} * \frac{1.0 mol}{1 L} = 0.0506 mol H_{2}SO_{4}

Enthalpy of the reaction = \frac{6377 J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}}{0.0506 mol} = 126 kJ/mol
