My professor gave me two questions to solve using the Van Der Waals Equation. She told us to solve for P and the second one we h

ave to solve for b
She wants an explanation how we got our answers. What confusing is the fact that she wants the answers in units but she never gave us any numbers to plot for the equations unless she wants us to use Si units. She did however say P=atmosphere, b=litters, and T=kelvin


Van der waals equation

(P+n^2a/V^2)(V-nb)=nRT. solve for P

T=kelvin
P=atmosphere
b=litters

profesor wants units, so im guessing she wants us to use Si units

Answer:

P=atm

b=\frac{L}{mol}

Explanation:

The problem give you the Van Der Waals equation:

(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})(V-nb)=nRT

First we are going to solve for P:

(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})=\frac{nRT}{(V-nb)}

P=\frac{nRT}{(V-nb)}-\frac{n^{2}a}{v^{2}}

Then you should know all the units of each term of the equation, that is:

P=atm

n=mol

R=\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}

a=atm\frac{L^{2}}{mol^{2}}

b=\frac{L}{mol}

T=K

V=L

where atm=atmosphere, L=litters, K=kelvin

Now, you should replace the units in the equation for each value:

P=\frac{(mol)(\frac{L.atm}{mol.K})(K)}{L-(mol)(\frac{L}{mol})}-\frac{(mol^{2})(\frac{atm.L^{2}}{mol^{2}})}{L^{2}}

Then you should multiply and eliminate the same units which they are dividing each other (Please see the photo below), so you have:

P=\frac{L.atm}{L-L}-atm

Then operate the fraction subtraction:

P=P=\frac{L.atm-L.atm}{L}

P=\frac{L.atm}{L}

And finally you can find the answer:

P=atm

Now solving for b:

(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})(V-nb)=nRT

(V-nb)=\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}

nb=V-\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}

b=\frac{V-\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}}{n}

Replacing units:

b=\frac{L-\frac{(mol).(\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}).K}{(atm+\frac{mol^{2}.\frac{atm.L^{2}}{mol^{2}}}{L^{2}})}}{mol}

Multiplying and dividing units,(please see the second photo below), we have:

b=\frac{L-\frac{L.atm}{atm}}{mol}

b=\frac{L-L}{mol}

b=\frac{L}{mol}

Which of the following are diatomic elements? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY!
Komok [63]

Answer: This is a list of the seven diatomic elements. The seven diatomic elements are:

   Hydrogen (H2)

   Nitrogen (N2)

   Oxygen (O2)

   Fluorine (F2)

   Chlorine (Cl2)

   Iodine (I2)

   Bromine (Br2)

All of these elements are nonmetals, since the halogens are a special type of nonmetallic element. Bromine is a liquid at room temperature, while the other elements all gases under ordinary conditions. As the temperature is lowered or pressure is increased, the other elements become diatomic liquids.

Astatine (atomic number 85, symbol At) and tennessine (atomic number 117, symbol Ts) are also in the halogen group and may form diatomic molecules. However, some scientists predict tennessine may behave more like a noble gas.

While only these seven elements routinely form diatomic molecules, other elements can form them. However, diatomic molecules formed by other elements are not very stable, so their bonds are easily broken.

How to Remember the Diatomic Elements

The elements ending with "-gen" including halogens form diatomic molecules. An easy-to-remember mnemonic for the diatomic elements is: Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer

There are three naturally occurring isotopes of the hypothetical element hilarium 45Hi, 46Hi, and 48Hi. The percentages of these
den301095 [7]

Answer:

46.761g/mol

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Element = Hilarium , Hi

Isotopes: Hi- 45, Hi-46 and Hi- 48

Natural abundance of Hi-45 = 18.3%

                                     Hi-46 = 34.5%

                                     Hi-48 = 47.2%

Unknown:

Atomic weight of naturally occurring Hilarium = ?

Solution:

Isotopes have been studied extensively by mass spectrometry. The method is used to determine the proportion/percentage/fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature. The proportion is called geonormal abundance. From this we can calculate the atomic weight of an element.

 We can use the expression below to find this value:

       Atomic weight = m₄₅α₄₅ + m₄₆α₄₆ + m₄₈α₄₈

    m is the atomic mass of each isotope and α is the abundance

Atomic weight = (45 x \frac{18.3}{100} ) + (46 x  \frac{34.5}{100} ) + (48 x  \frac{47.2}{100})

Atomic weight of Hi = 8.235 + 15.870 +  22.656 = 46.761g/mol
