3.8 liters of sulfur vapor, S8(g), at 921.4°C and 5.87 atm is burned in excess pure oxygen gas to give sulfur dioxide gas measur

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

116.5 g of SO₂ are formed

Explanation:

The reaction is:

S₈(g) + 8O₂(g) → 8SO₂ (g)

Let's identify the moles of sulfur vapor, by the Ideal Gases Law

We convert the 921.4°C to Absolute T° → 921.4°C + 273 = 1194.4 K

5.87 atm . 3.8L = n . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 1194.4K

(5.87 atm . 3.8L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 1194.4K) = n → 0.228 moles of S₈

Ratio is 1:8, 1 mol of sulfur vapor can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Then, 0.228 moles of S₈ must produce (0.228 . 8) /1 = 1.82 moles

We convert the moles to g → 1.82 moles . 64.06 g /1mol = 116.5 g

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.
