Dinitrogen pentoxide decomposes in the gas phase to form nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas. The reaction is first order in dinitro

gen pentoxide and has a half-life of 2.81 h at 25 ∘C. If a 1.7 −L reaction vessel initially contains 755 torr of N2O5 at 25 ∘C, what partial pressure of O2 will be present in the vessel after 215 minutes?

Answer : The partial pressure of O_2 is, 222.93 torr

Explanation :  

Half-life = 2.81 hr = 168.6 min

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{168.6min}

k=4.11\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of O_2

The balanced chemical reaction is:

                           2N_2O_5(g)\rightarrow 4NO_2(g)+O_2(g)

Initial pressure   760                0             0

At eqm.             (760-2x)            4x            x

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{P_o}{P_t}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time passed by the sample  = 215 min

a = initial pressure of N_2O_5 = 760 torr

a - x = pressure of N_2O_5 at equilibrium = (760-2x) torr

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

215=\frac{2.303}{4.11\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{760}{760-2x}

x=222.93torr

The partial pressure of O_2 = x = 222.93 torr

Jeffrey is making a model of tungsten for his chemistry class. He has foam balls for the protons, neutrons, and electrons. He ha
mrs_skeptik [129]

Atomic number (Z) of tungsten is 74

Mass number (A) of tungsten is 184

Now:

Atomic number of an element = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Mass number = Number of Protons + Number of neutrons

In the case of tungsten

Total Number of electrons = 74

Jeffrey has already added 21 electrons

Number of electrons needed = 74 - 21 = 53

Ans (D) 53 more electrons are needed to complete the neutral atom of tungsten.

Explain how creativity can play a role in the construction of scientific questions and hypotheses.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Scientific questions and hypotheses come up frequently while one is engaged in investigating a scientific phenomenon such  as natural geological phenomena as may occur in geological mapping in the field. For example, there may be a question does this canyon or deeply incised valley which is quite straight follow a weakness in the earth's crust like a major fault or the direction of bedding in well bedded sedimentary rocks. In a particular topographic area, some hypotheses which may be developed is that valleys follow geological structure whereas ridges follow resistant rocks like quartzites or quartz sandstones or in the ocean, points or capes may represent resistant quartz sandstones and bays may represent weak soft shales recessively weathering

Which term best describes the role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule?
Alex Ar [27]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The term that would best describe the <span>role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule would be a reactant. Water has a formula of H2O where it contains water so it should be  that hydrogen is a reactant. </span>
