6 0

Answer:

Potential energy can be defined as the energy in a body due to its position

In simple terms potential energy is the energy at rest

Explanation: Examples ;

  • A spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched.
  • A steel ball has more potential energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth.

How many atoms of sodium are in 3.80 mol of sodium, Na?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

2.29 × 10²⁴ atoms Na

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Avagadro's Number: 6.02 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Step 2: Stoichiometry

3.80 \hspace{3} mol \hspace{3} Na(\frac{6.02(10)^{23} \hspace{3} atoms \hspace{3} Na}{1 \hspace{3} mol \hspace{3} Na} ) = 2.2876 × 10²⁴ atoms Na

Step 3: Simplify

We have 3 sig figs.

2.2876 × 10²⁴ atoms Na ≈ 2.29 × 10²⁴ atoms Na

Answer: (1). There are  0.0165 moles of gaseous arsine (AsH3) occupy 0.372 L at STP.

(2). The density of gaseous arsine is 3.45 g/L.

Explanation:

1). At STP the pressure is 1 atm and temperature is 273.15 K. So, using the ideal gas equation number of moles are calculated as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\1 atm \times 0.372 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 273.15 K\\n = 0.0165 mol

2). As number of moles are also equal to mass of a substance divided by its molar mass.

So, number of moles of Arsine (AsH_{3}) (molar mass = 77.95 g/mol) is as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\0.0165 mol = \frac{mass}{77.95 g/mol}\\mass = 1.286 g

Density is the mass of substance divided by its volume. Hence, density of arsine is calculated as follows.

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}\\= \frac{1.286 g}{0.372 L}\\= 3.45 g/L

Thus, we can conclude that 0.0165 moles of gaseous arsine (AsH3) occupy 0.372 L at STP and the density of gaseous arsine is 3.45 g/L.
