1 answer:

3 0

Metals are solids, non metals are gasses and metalloids are in between metals and non metals. Also, metals have there atoms all close and packed, non metals have there atoms far apart, and metalloids have there atoms either close or far apart. Metals are separated form the non metals in the periodic table.

1) How many molecules are there in 985 mL of nitrogen at 0.0° C and 1.00 x 10-6 mm Hg?

RSB [31]

Answer : The number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, $3.48\times 10^{13}$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of nitrogen gas by using ideal gas equation.

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = Pressure of $N_2$ gas = $1.00\times 10^{-6}mmHg=1.32\times 10^{-9}atm$ (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of $N_2$ gas = 985 mL = 0.982 L (1 L = 1000 mL)

n = number of moles $N_2$ = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821L.atm/mol.K$

T = Temperature of $N_2$ gas = $0.0^oC=273+0.0=273K$

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

$(1.32\times 10^{-9}atm)\times 0.982L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 273K$

$n=5.78\times 10^{-11}mol$

Now we have to calculate the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas.

As we know that 1 mole of substance contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

As, 1 mole of $N_2$ gas contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules

So, $5.78\times 10^{-11}$ mole of $N_2$ gas contains $(5.78\times 10^{-11})\times (6.022\times 10^{23})=3.48\times 10^{13}$ number of molecules

Therefore, the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, $3.48\times 10^{13}$

When mixtures of gaseous h2 and gaseous cl2 react, a product forms that has the same properties regardless of the relative amoun

lilavasa [31]

According to Dalton's Atomic Theory, the <em>Law of Definite Proportion is applied when a compound is always made up by a fixed fraction of its individual elements.</em> This is manifested by the balancing of the reaction.

The reaction for this problem is:

H₂ + Cl₂ → 2 HCl

1 mol of H₂ is needed for every 1 mole of Cl₂. Assuming these are ideal gases, the moles is equal to the volume. So, if equal volumes of the reactants are available, they will produce twice the given volumes of HCl.

A stock solution of HNO3 is prepared and found to contain 13.5 M of HNO3. If 25.0 mL of the stock solution is diluted to a final

salantis [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 0.675 M

Explanation :

Using neutralization law,

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where,

$M_1$ = concentration of $HNO_3$ = 13.5 M

$M_2$ = concentration of diluted solution = ?

$V_1$ = volume of $HNO_3$ = 25.0 ml = 0.0250 L

conversion used : (1 L = 1000 mL)

$V_2$ = volume of diluted solution = 0.500 L

Now put all the given values in the above law, we get the concentration of the diluted solution.

$13.5M\times 0.0250L=M_2\times 0.500L$

$M_2=0.675M$

Therefore, the concentration of the diluted solution is 0.675 M

Two unknown molecular compounds were being studied. A solution containing 5.00 g of compound A in 100. g of water froze at a low

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Compound B has greater molar mass.

Explanation:

The depression in freezing point is given by ;

$\Delta T_f=i\times k_f\times m$ ..[1]

$m=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent in kg}}$

Where:

i = van't Hoff factor

$k_f$ = Molal depression constant

m = molality of the solution

According to question , solution with 5.00 g of A in 100.0 grams of water froze at at lower temperature than solution with 5.00 g of B in 100.0 grams of water.

The depression in freezing point of solution with A solute: $\Delta T_{f,A}$

Molar mass of A = $M_A$

The depression in freezing point of solution with B solute: $\Delta T_{f,B}$

Molar mass of B = $M_B$

$\Delta T_{f,A}>\Delta T_{f,B}$

As we can see in [1] , that depression in freezing point is inversely related to molar mass of the solute.

$\Delta T_f\propto \frac{1}{\text{Molar mass of solute}}$

$M_A$

This means compound B has greater molar mass than compound A,
