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.

How would I Determine the number of moles in 3.51 x 10^23 formula units of CaCl2
Andrej [43]

Answer:

by using this formula you will get it

Explanation:

number of mole = number of particles÷ Avogadro's number

n=3.51×10^23÷ 6.02×10^23

n = 0.58 moles

Unabbreviated electron configuration of magnesium
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

Explanation:

Abbreviated and unabbreviated electronic configuration:

The abbreviated electronic configuration uses the noble gas configuration i.e complete electronic shells. For example, the atomic number of neon is ten and magnesium is twelve. The abbreviated electronic configuration of magnesium is written by using the neon abbreviation in following way:

The electronic configuration of neon is given below:

Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

The abbreviated electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg₁₂ = [Ne] 3s²

While the unabbreviated electronic configuration is written without using noble gas electronic configuration.

Unabbreviated electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

Your experiment requires 150 mL of 7.7 M NaOH. How many grams of NaOH will you need?
Elodia [21]
You have molarity and you have volume. Use the formula :
Molarity(M)= Moles(N)/Liter(L)            to get the solution. 
150 ml= .150 L
7.7 = N/.150
N=.1.155 moles of NaOH.
 And since you know the moles, use the molar mass to figure out the grams.
<span> (40g/mol NaOH) x (1.155mol) =  
46.2 g of NaOH.</span>
