What is the density of helium gas at 17 degrees celcius and 773 torr?

Chemistry

valina [46]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

0.172g/L

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question:

Temperature (T) = 17°C

Pressure (P) = 773 torr

Step 2:

Conversion to appropriate unit:

For pressure :

760 torr = 1 atm

Therefore, 773 torr = 773/760 = 1.02 atm

For temperature:

Temperature (Kelvin) = temperature (celsius) + 273

temperature (celsius) = 17°C

Temperature (Kelvin) = 17°C + 273 = 290K.

Step 3:

Obtaining an expression for the density.

From the ideal gas equation PV = nRT, we can obtain an equation for the density as follow:

PV = nRT. (1)

But: number of mole(n) = mass (m)/Molar Mass(M) i.e

n = m/M

Substitute the value of n into equation 1

PV = nRT

PV = mRT/M

Divide both side by m

PV /m = RT/M

Divide both side by P

V/m = RT/MP

Invert the above equation

m/V = MP/RT (2)

Recall:

density (d) = mass(m) / volume(V) i.e

d = m/V

Replace m/V in equation 2 with d

m/V = MP/RT

d = MP/RT.

Step 4:

Determination of the density.

Temperature (T) = 290K

Pressure (P) = 1.02 atm

Molar Mass of helium (M) = 4g/mol

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Density (d) =?

d = MP/RT

d = 4 x 1.02 / 0.082 x 290

d = 0.172g/L

Therefore, the density of the helium gas is 0.172g/L

At equilibrium the reactant and product concentrations are constant because a change in one direction is balanced by a change in
Anna [14]

Answer: a. The concentrations of the reactants and products have reached constant values

Explanation:

The reactions which do not go on completion and in which the reactant forms product and the products goes back to the reactants simultaneously are known as equilibrium reactions.  For a chemical equilibrium reaction, equilibrium state is achieved when the rate of forward reaction becomes equal to rate of the backward reaction.

Equilibrium state is the state when reactants and products are present but the concentrations does not change with time and are constant.

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{eq}

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

For a equilibrium reaction,

A\rightleftharpoons B

K_{eq}=\frac{[B]}{[A]}

Thus the correct answer is the concentrations of the reactants and products have reached constant values.

Which pair shares the same empirical formula?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:- 3. CH_3 and C_2H_6

Explanations:- An empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in the molecule/compound.

For example, the molecular formula of benzene is C_6H_6 . The ratio of C to H in it is 6:6 that could be simplified to 1:1. So, an empirical formula of benzene is CH.

In the first pair, the ratio of C to H in first molecule is 2:4 that could be simplified to 1:2 and  the empirical formula is CH_2 . In second molecule the ratio of C to H is 6:6 and it could be simplified to 1:1. and the empirical formula is CH. Empirical formulas are different for both the molecules of first pair and so it is not the right choice.

In second pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:2, so the empirical formula is CH_2 . The C to H ratio for second molecule is 1:4, so the empirical formula is CH_4 . Here also, the empirical formulas are not same and hence it is also not the right choice.

In third pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:3, so the empirical formula is CH_3 . In second molecule the C to H ratio is 2:6 and it is simplified to 1:3. So, the empirical formula for this one is also CH_3 . Hence. this is the correct choice.

In fourth pair, first molecule empirical formula is CH. Second molecule has 2:4 that is 1:2 mole ratio of C to H and so its empirical formula is CH_2 . As the empirical formulas are different, it is not the right choice.

So, the only and only correct pair is the third one. 3. CH_3 and C_2H_6
