From the given pH, we calculate the concentration of H+:
     [H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-5.5
We then use the volume to solve for the number of moles of H+:
     moles H+ = 10^-5.5M * 4.3x10^9 L =  13598 moles
From the balanced equation of the neutralization of hydrogen ion by limestone written as
     CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq)  → Ca2+(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
we use the mole ratio of limestone CaCO3 and H+ from their coefficients, which is 1 mole of CaCO3 is to react with 2 moles of H+, to compute for the mass of the limestone:
     mass CaCO3 = 13598mol H+(1mol CaCO3/2mol H+)
                               (100.0869g CaCO3/1mol CaCO3)(1kg/1000g) 
                            = 680 kg

Cortisone consists of molecules, each of which contains 21 atoms of carbon (plus other atoms). the mass percentage of carbon in
GalinKa [24]

Now to solve this problem, we are given the number of atoms therefore we must first convert this into number of moles. We can do this by using the Avogadro’s number. Calculating for number of moles of Carbon:

number of moles Carbon = 21 atoms of carbon (1 mole / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms C)

number of moles Carbon = 3.49 x 10^-23 mol C

 

Converting this to mass by multiplying the molar mass of C:

mass Carbon = 3.49 x 10^-23 mol C (12 g / mol)

mass Carbon = 4.18 x 10^-22 g

 

Therefore the mass of one molecule of Cortisone is:

mass of 1 molecule Cortisone = 4.18 x 10^-22 g / 0.6998

mass of 1 molecule Cortisone = 5.98 x 10^-22 g per molecule

 

Converting this to mass per 1 mol of Cortisone, by using again the Avogadro’s number:

mass of 1 mol Cortisone = (5.98 x 10^-22 g / molecule) (<span>6.022 x 10^23  molecules / mol)</span>

mass of 1 mol Cortisone = 360.10 g / mol = molar mass of cortisone

 

Answer:

360.10 g / mol

A gaseous mixture contains 5.0 moles of nitrogen and 10.0 moles of helium . What is the total pressure if the temperature is 25
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A) 122 atm

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Solve for P --> P = nRT/V

n = 10.0 mol + 5.0 mol = 15.0 mol

R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

T = 25 + 273 = 298 K

V = 3.0

P = (15.0)(0.08206)(298) / (3.0) = 122 atm
