Sometimes in lab we collect the gas formed by a chemical reaction over water (see sketch at right). This makes it easy to isolat
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.00582 grams.

Explanation:

In order to solve the question, let us consider the vapor pressure of H2O, as hydrogen gas is collected over water, therefore, we have to consider the vapor pressure of water in the given case. Let us assume that the pressure is 760 torr or 1 atm.

It is known that the vapor pressure of water at 40 degree C is 53.365 torr (Based on the data).

Therefore, the pressure of H2 will be,

P = 760-55.365 = 704.635 torr or 704.635/760 = 0.9272 atm

The volume of the hydrogen gas collected in the tube is 80 ml or 0.08 L

Temperature in Kelvin will be 40+273 = 313 K

To calculate the moles of hydrogen (H2) gas, there is a need to use the ideal gas equation, that is, PV= nRT, in this R is the gas constant, whose value is 0.0821 L atm/molK, and n is the moles of the gas.

By inserting the values in the equation we get:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT = 0.9272 *0.08 / 0.0821 * 313

n = 0.00289 moles

The mass of H2 will be moles * molar mass = 0.00289 * 2.016

= 0.00582 grams.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A weak acid and a strong base will form a basic salt.

Option A is acidic, this pH would be found in salts formed from reactions between strong acids and weak bases.

B and C are neutral or close to neutral and as such will be formed from weak acids and weak bases, or strong acids and strong bases.

A sample of helium gas initially at 37.0°C, 785 torr and 2.00 L was heated to 58.0°C while the volume expanded to 3.24 L. What i
spayn [35]

Answer:

0.681 atm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we make use of the General gas equation.

Given:

P1 = 785 torr

V1 = 2L

T1 = 37= 37 + 273.15 = 310.15K

P2 = ?

V2 = 3.24L

T2 = 58 = 58+273.15 = 331.15K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Now, making P2 the subject of the formula,

P2 = P1V1T2/T1V2

P2 = [785 * 2 * 331.15]/[310.15 * 3.24]

P2 = 515.715 Torr

We convert this to atm: 1 torr = 0.00132 atm

515.715 Torr = 515.715 * 0.00132 = 0.681 atm
