1. When the temperature of a rigid hollow sphere containing 685 L of helium gas is
1 answer:
<h3>Answer:</h3>
250.756 moles He
<h3>Explanation:</h3>From the question we are given;
Volume, L = 685 L
Temperature, T = 621 K
Pressure, P = 189 × 10 kPa
We are required to calculate the number of moles of the gas,
Using the Ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, T is the temperature, n is the number of moles, and R is the ideal gas constant.
We can replace the known variables and constant in the equation to get the unknown variable, n.
Using ideal gas constant as 8.3145 L.kPa/K/mol
n = 250.756 moles
The moles of helium contained in the sphere is 250.756 moles

Answer:
1) 0.3g Mg
2)0.5g MgO
3)0.2g O
4)0.01mol Mg & 0.01mol O
5)0.01mol MgO
6) Empirical formula MgO
Explanation:
The mass og Mg is obtained by substracting 24.36g from 24.66g:
24.66 - 24.36 = 0.3g Mg
The ignition of Mg means that it's reacting with oxygen to form an oxide. The increase in the crucible mass after the Mg ignition is due to the addition of oxygen. However, the addition of few drops of water produces a new compound: a hydroxide. According to the oxidation state og Mg (2+), the only magnesium oxide possible is MgO. It happens because the oxidation state of oxygen in oxides is 2-. Which means that just one oxygen atom is required to electrically neutralize one magnesium atom.
We can use a conversion factor to know how much MgO is made from from 0.3 g of Mg:
*
= 0.2g O
Thereby the mass of the oxide is 0.2g O + 0.3g Mg = 0.5g MgO
We convert the mass of oxygen and magnesium to the respective amounts in moles by using conversion factors:
*
= 0.01mol O
*
= 0.01mol Mg
The moles of MgO can be obtained from:
*
= 0.01mol MgO
To obtain the empirical formula, the amount fo moles of each elements must be divided by the smallest one, in this case, 0.01.
The result for both number of Mg atoms and O atoms is 1. This can be interpreted to mean that there is a Mg atom for each O atom forming the formula unit of the compound.
The step when water is added to the compound resulting after heating does not affect the calculations necessary for the magnesium oxide.
