What is the difference between a subscript and a coefficient in a chemical reaction?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: The subscripts represents the number of atoms of each individual element in a compound. The coefficients indicates the number of moles each compound are present in the chemical reaction. Numerical coefficients are determined through balancing the chemical equation by comparing each subscripts in both the reactant and product side.

A sample of Freon-12 (CF2Cl2) occupies 2.842 x 101 L at 331 K and 2.525 x 102 kPa. Find its volume (in L) at standard temperatur

Angelina_Jolie [31]

We have to first find the number of moles of Freon-12 in the sample using the ideal gas law equation
PV = nRT
n = $\frac{PV}{RT}$
since the number of moles at both conditions given and at stp we can write the following formula
$\frac{P1V1}{RT1} = \frac{P2V2}{RT2}$
where parameters for the given conditions are on the left side and parameters for STP conditions are on the right side of the equation
where P1 - pressure - 252.5 kPa
V1 - volume - 28.42 x 10⁻³ m³
R - universal gas constant
T1 - 331 K

STP conditions
P2 - 101 325 Pa
T2 - 273 K

substituting these values in the equation

$\frac{252 500Pa*28.42*10 ^{-3}m^{3} }{R*331K} = \frac{101325 Pa*V}{R*273 K}$

V = 58.41 L
Volume at STP is 58.41 L
