A 200.0mL closed flask contains 2.000mol of carbon monoxide gas and 2.000mol of oxygen gas at the temperature of 300.0K. How man

y moles of oxygen have to react with carbon monoxide in order to decrease the overall pressure in the flask by 10%? Assume ideal gas behavior. The reaction of carbon monoxide and oxygen gas is described by the following equation.
2CO(g)+O2(g)⟶2CO2(g)

Answer:

There will react 0.400 moles of oxygen.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Volume of the closed flask = 200.00 mL = 0.2 L

Number of moles of CO = 2.000 mol

Number of moles of O2 = 2.000 mol

Temperature = 300.0 K

Pressure decreases with 10%

<u>Step 2</u>: The balanced equation

2CO(g)+O2(g)⟶2CO2(g)

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate the initial pressure of the flask before the reaction

P = nRT/V

⇒ with n = the number of moles (2.000 moles CO + 2.000 moles O2 = 4.000 moles)

⇒ R is gas constant (0.08206 atm*L/mol*K)

⇒T = the  temperature = 300.0K

⇒ V = the volume = 200.0 mL = 0.2 L

P = (4 * 0.08206*300)/0.2

P = 492.36 atm

<u>Step 4:</u> When the pressure is 10 % decreased:

The final pressure = 492.36 - 49.236 = 443.124 atm

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate the number of moles

n = PV/RT

⇒ with n = the number of moles

⇒ with P = the pressure = 443.124 atm

⇒ V = the volume = 200.0 mL = 0.2 L

⇒ R is gas constant (0.08206 atm*L/mol*K)

⇒T = the  temperature = 300.0K

n =(443.124*0.2)/(0.08206*300)

n = 3.6 moles = total number of moles

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate number of moles

For the reaction :2CO(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2CO₂(g)

For each mole of O2 we have 2 moles of CO, to produce 2 moles of CO2

Moles CO = (2 -2X) moles

Moles O2 = (2-X) moles

Moles CO2 = 2X

The total number of moles (4 -X)= 3.6 moles

Where X are moles that react

X = 0.400 moles

There will react 0.400 moles of oxygen.

A brick has dimensions of 15 cm x 6.0 cm x 12 cm. What is the volume of the brick in cubi meters?
Likurg_2 [28]
Convert all of the units from centimeters to meters by moving the decimal point over to the left two digits.

0.15 m x 0.06 m x 0.12 m

Volume = length x width x height
             = 0.15 x 0.06 x 0.12 = 0.00108 m^3

Convert 99 moles of CO2 to atoms
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

              1.78 × 10²⁶ Atoms

Explanation:

Relation between number of molecules and moles is,

No. of Molecules = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 99 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 5.96 × 10²⁵ Molecules

Also, In CO₂ Molecule there are 3 atoms.

So,

No. of atoms = 5.96 × 10²⁵ Molecules × 3

No. of atoms = 1.78 × 10²⁶ Atoms

Equal masses of water undergo condensation, deposition, evaporation, and sublimation. a) Which process releases the most energy?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

A. Condensation

B. Evaporation

Explanation:

Condensation releases energy when water vapor condenses to form water droplets. Evaporation absorbs energy whenever it changes from liquid to gas, the heat from the sun heats the water up and absorbs energy.
