Bond [772]3 years ago
4 0
We are given with the percentage composition of oxygen in an oxide from phosphorus and oxygen equal to 43.6 percent. that is the phosphorus is equal to 56.4 percent. we divide each with the molar mass and divide each with the smaller quantity. P then is equal to 1 and O is equal to 1.5. In this case, the empirical formula is P2O3.

A sample of gas at 1.10 atm has a volume of 326 mL. What is the new volume if the pressure is changed to 1.90 atm?
Brut [27]

Answer

For this we use ideal gas equation which is:

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 1.10 atm

V1 = 326 ml

P2 = 1.90

V2 = ?

By rearranging the ideal gas equation:

V2 =  P1V1 ÷ P2

V2 = 1.10 × 326 ÷1.90

V2 = 358.6 ÷ 1.90

V2 = 188.7 ml

What mass of sulfur has to burn to produce 4.5L SO2 at 300°C and 101 kPa in the following reaction?s(s)+O2(g) SO,(g)
Alex_Xolod [135]
<span>Answer: option B. 3.07 g

Explanation:

1) given reaction:

S(s) + O₂ (g) → SO(g)

2) Balanced chemical equation:

</span><span>2S(s) + O₂ (g) → 2SO(g)

3) Theoretical mole ratios:

2 mol S : 1 mol O₂ : 2 mol SO

3) number of moles of 4.5 liter SO₂ at</span><span> 300°C and 101 kPa

use the ideal gas equation:

pV = nRT

with V = 4.5 liter
p = 101 kPa
T = 300 + 273.15 K = 573.15 K
R = 8.314 liter×kPa / (mol×K)

=> n = pV / (RT) =

n =  [101 kPa × 4.5 liter] / [8.314 (liter×kPa) / (mol×K)  × 573.15 K ]

n = 0.0954 mol SO

4) proportion with the theoretical ratio S / SO

 2 mol S                   x
-------------- = ----------------------
 2 mol SO      0.0954 mol SO

=> x = 0.0954 mol S.

5) Convert mol of S to grams by using atomic mass of S = 32.065 g/mol

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.0954 mol × 32.065 g/mol = 3.059 g of S

6) Therefore the answer is the option B. 3.07 g
