40 mi/gal * 1.61 km/mi * 0.264 gal/li
40*1.61*0.264
17 km/li
Answer:
Option 5. 179L
Explanation:
The reaction is:
2 HCl + Na₂CO₃ → 2NaCl + H₂O + CO₂
The amount of collected CO₂ is 8 moles.
We apply the Ideal Gases Law at STP
STP are 1 atm of pressure and 273K of T°
P . V = n . R . T
1atm . V = 8 mol .0.082L.atm/mol.K . 273K
V = (8 mol .0.082L.atm/mol.K . 273K) / 1 atm = 179 L
The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and
nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:
C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22
H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25
N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22
Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:
C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5
N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
So the empirical formula is:
CHN
