Answer:

$P_{gas}=131.96torr$

Explanation:

Helo,

In this case, the pressure must be computed as follows:

$P_{gas}=gh\rho _{Hg}$

Which is using the density of mercury (13.6 g/mL) and its height, thus, we obtain (using the proper units):

$P_{gas}=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}*(13.2cm *\frac{1m}{100cm} )*(13.6\frac{g}{cm^3}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}*\frac{1x10^6cm^3}{1m^3} )\\\\P_{gas}=17592.96Pa*\frac{760torr}{101325Pa} \\\\P_{gas}=131.96torr$

Best regards.

When the temperature of a rigid hollow sphere containing 685 L of helium gas is held at 621 K, the pressure of the gas is 1.89 x

Leno4ka [110]

You have to use the equation PV=nRT.
P=pressure (in this case 1.89x10^3 kPa which equals 18.35677 atm)
1V=volume (in this case 685L)
n=moles (in this case the unknown)
R=gas constant (0.08206 (L atm)/(mol K))
T=temperature (in this case 621 K)
with the given information you can rewrite the ideal gas law equation as n=PV/RT.
n=(18.35677atm x 685L)/(0.08206atmL/molK x 621K)
n=246.8 moles

How much water (H2O ) would form if 4.04 g of hydrogen (H2) reacted with 31.98 g of oxygen (O2 )?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Mass = 36 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water formed = ?

Mass of hydrogen = 4.04 g

Mass of oxygen = 31.98 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.04 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.02 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 31.98 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.0 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with hydrogen and oxygen.

O₂ : H₂O

1 : 2

H₂ : H₂O

2 : 2

2.02 : 2.02

Number of moles of water formed by oxygen are less thus oxygen will limiting reactant.

Mass of water:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass = 36 g

How many objects are in a mole of objects?

lakkis [162]

Your Question: {How many objects are in a mole?}

Helpful Knowledge: (We Know the amount in an object: 12g or C^12)

{A number of objects that are in a mole of objects?}

Well for the question it is pretty easy to answer because a number of objects in One mole would equal 6.02 × 10²³

Which 6.02 × 10²³ is an Avogadro's Number.

So it depends on how many objects you have.

So for every object you have, One mole would equal 6.02 × 10²³. Or 62,000,000,000,000,0000,000,000. Big Number am I right. So that's why we just use 6.02 × 10²³.

Anywho, your answer would be 6.02 x 10²³ x n.
N would equal the number of objects you're calculating.

Final Answer: 6.02 x 10²³ x (n) = (Your Answer)

The characteristic odor of pineapple is due to ethyl butyrate, a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of

gavmur [86]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_6O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg

Mass of $CO_2=6.32mg=0.00632g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.58g=0.00258g$

Mass of compound = 2.78 mg = 0.00278 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.00632 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.00632=0.00172g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.00258 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.00258=0.000286g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.00278) - (0.00172 + 0.000286) = 0.000774 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.00172g}{12g/mole}=1.43\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.000286g}{1g/mole}=2.86\times 10^{-4}moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.000774g}{16g/mole}=4.83\times 10^{-5}moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $4.83\times 10^{-5}mol$

For Carbon = $\frac{1.43\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{2.86\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=5.92\approx 6$

For Oxygen = $\frac{4.83\times 10^{-5}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 6 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{6}O_1=C_3H_6O$
