Most Bic lighters hold 5.0ml of liquified butane (density = 0.60 g/ml). Calculate the minimum size container you would need to "

catch" all of the butane (from a lighter) at room conditions, if you released all of the butane from the lighter.

Answer:

Volume of container = 0.0012 m³ or 1.2 L or 1200 ml

Explanation:

Volume of butane = 5.0 ml

density = 0.60 g/ml

Room temperature (T) = 293.15 K

Normal pressure (P) = 1 atm = 101,325 pa

Ideal gas constant (R) = 8.3145 J/mole.K)

volume of container V = ?

Solution

To find out the volume of container we use ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant

T = temperature

First we find out number of moles

<em>As Mass = density × volume</em>

mass of butane = 0.60 g/ml ×5.0 ml

mass of butane = 3 g

now find out number of moles (n)

n = mass / molar mass

n = 3 g / 58.12 g/mol

n = 0.05 mol

Now put all values in ideal gas equation

<em>PV = nRt</em>

<em>V = nRT/P</em>

V = (0.05 mol × 8.3145 J/mol.K × 293.15 K) ÷ 101,325 pa

V = 121.87 ÷ 101,325 pa

V = 0.0012 m³ OR 1.2 L OR 1200 ml

A compound contains 74.2 g Na and 25.8 g O. Determine the Empirical Formula for this compound
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The empirical formula for the compound is Na2O

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Sodium (Na) = 74.2g

Oxygen (O) = 25.8g

We can obtain the empirical formula for the compound as follow:

First, divide the above by their individual molar mass as shown below:

Na = 74.2/23 = 3.226

O = 25.8/16 = 1.613

Next, divide the above by the smallest number

Na = 3.226/1.613 = 2

O = 1.613/1.613 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula is:

Na2O
