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 cube of an unknown metal measures 0.250 cm on one side. The mass of the cube is 0.134 g. Which of the following is most likely
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

8.58 g/cm3

Explanation:

density = mass / volume

be attention that the question gives u the length of

one side of the cube so u should calculate the volume

of the cube using your information of math .

1st we calculate the volume of the cube :

 V of cube = a 3= axaxa

                 = 0.250 x0.250 x0.250

                 = 0.0156 cm3

 2nd step

density = mass/volume

             =  0.134/ 0.0156 = 8.58 g/cm3

Which chemical formula represents both an element and a molecule?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

element - a basic substance that can't be simplified (hydrogen, oxygen, gold, etc...) molecule - two or more atoms that are chemically joined together (H2, O2, H2O, C6H12O6, etc...) compound - a substance that contains more than one element (H2O, C6H12O6, etc...)

When a soda can is dropped, it should not be immediately opened. Why?
Kipish [7]
<span>The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. </span><span>When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. </span><span>However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.</span>
