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.

Which statement describes the charge and location of an electron in an atom?
NemiM [27]

Answer is: It has a negative charge and is located in orbitals around the nucleus.

The electron (symbol: e⁻) is a subatomic particle whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge.

Electrons are moving in energy levels around nucleus.

The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton.

Electrons have properties of both particles and waves.

Explain the process of radioactive decay. What happens during the radioactive decay? What is the result at the end of radioactiv
nignag [31]

1) Radioactive decay is the spontaneous decomposition of the unstable nucleus of an atom.

2) The emission of a particle or a photon.

For example, alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus).

3) The result is usually more stable element with smaller atomic number.

For example, in alpha decay atom transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

For example nuclear fission is radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts and huge amount of energy is released.

What did Kwang Jeon discover when researching amoeba infected by bacteria?
defon
<span>Kwang Jeon observed that Amoeba had been attacked by a bacterial infection, and lots of the Amoeba had died. However, some survived and continued to reproduce. After investigating the remaining Amoeba and their offspring, he noticed they were very healthy. He thought maybe they were able to fight off the bacteria, but instead, he found they were still infected with the bacteria but were not dying. The bacteria were no longer making the Amoeba sick. Then, he killed off the bacteria using antibiotics and was surprised to see that the Amoeba also died. It seemed the Amoeba and bacteria had formed a relationship in which they both needed each other to survive. After researching, Jeon found that the bacteria made a protein that the Amoeba needed to survive. </span>
