Answer:

The identity of the gas is Cl₂ (chlorine)

Explanation:

STP conditions are:

1 atm → Pressure

273.15 K → T°

So, we must use the Ideal Gas Law to get the moles.

Before that, we will think density as data where 3.164 g of diatomic gas are contained in 1 L of volume.

P.V = n . R . T

1 atm . 1 L = n. 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K

1 L.atm / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) = n

0.0446 mol = n

This quantity of diatomic gas, are 3.164 g so the molar mass will be:

Mass / mol = molar mass

3.164 g / 0.0446 mol = 70.9 g/m

The element (a diatomic molecule), which has that molar mass in the periodic table is the Cl₂.

1 Cl = 35.45 g/m

Cl₂. = 70.9 g/m

The volume of 1.20 lol of gas at 61.3 kPa and 25.0 degree Celsius is

aniked [119]

Answer:

V = 48.5 L

Explanation:

Converting °C to K and kPa to atm

T = 25.0°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K

P = 61.3 kPa × (1 atm / 101.325 kPa) = 0.60498 atm

Calculating the volume of gas

V = nRT / P

V = (1.20 mol)(0.082057 L•atm/mol•K)(298.15 K) / 0.60498 atm

V = 48.5 L

Why are coal, oil, and natural gas called fossil fuels?

sergeinik [125]

Because that's where they come from. Coal, oil, and natural gas are the products
of dead dinosaurs rotting in the ground under great pressure for millions of years.

A bottle containing 415 g of cleaning solution is used to clean hospital equipment. If the cleaning solution has a specific grav

neonofarm [45]

Answer: 483 mL of the cleaning solution are used to clean hospital equipment

Explanation:

The question requires us to calculate the volume, in mL, of solution is used to clean hospital equipment, given that 415g of this solution are used and the specific gravity of the solution is 0.860.

Measurements > Density

Specific gravity is defined as the ratio between the density of a given substance to the density of a reference material, such as water:

$Specific\text{ gravity = }\frac{density\text{ of substance}}{density\text{ of reference substance}}$

The density of a substance is defined as the ratio between the mass and the volume of this substance:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Considering the reference substance as water and its density as 1.00 g/mL, we can determine the density of the substance which specific gravity is 0.860:

$0.860=\frac{density\text{ of substance}}{1.00g/mL}\rightarrow density\text{ of substance = 0.860g/mL}$

Thus, taking water as the reference substance, we can say that the density of the cleaning solution is 0.860 g/mL.

Now that we know the density of the cleaning solution (0.860 g/mL) and the mass of solution that is used to clean hospital equipment (415g), we can calculate the volume of solution that is used to clean the equipment:

$\begin{gathered} density=\frac{mass}{volume}\rightarrow volume=\frac{mass}{density} \\ \\ volume=\frac{415g}{0.860g/mL}=483mL \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 483 mL of the cleaning solution are used to clean hospital equipment.
