Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of CuCl₂ = 2.50g
Mass of Al = 0.50g
Unknown:
Number of moles of CuCl₂ and Al = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we must understand that the number of moles is a fundamental property used in stoichiometry calculations.
Number of moles =
Molar mass of CuCl₂ = 63.6 + 2(35.5) = 134.5g/mole
Molar mass of Al = 26.98g/mole
Number of moles of CuCl₂ = = 0.019moles
Number of moles of Al = = 0.019moles
- From the general law of gases: PV = nRT,
where P is the pressure (atm),
V is the volume (L),
n is the number of moles,
R is the general gas constant (8.314 L.atm/mol.K),
T is the temperature in Kelvin
- at constant volume of the gas: P1T2 = P2T1
P1 = 3.20 atm, T1 = 300 K, T2 = 290 K, P2 = ??
(3.20 atm)(290 K) = P2(300 K)
P2 = (3.20 atm)(290 K)/ (300 K) = 3.093 atm
