A) Head to tail joining of monomers. :) (confirmed correct answer, I took the test)
Answer:
(a) oxygen
(b) 154g (to 3sf)
(c) 79.9% (to 3sf)
Explanation:
mass (g) = moles × Mr/Ar
note: eqn means chemical equation
(a)
moles of P = 84.1 ÷ 30.973 = 2.7152 moles
moles of O2 = 85÷2(16) = 2.65625 moles
Assuming all the moles of P is used up,
moles of O2 / moles of phosphorus = 5/4 (according to balanced chemical eqn)
moles of O2 required = 5/4 × 2.7152moles = 3.394 moles (more than supplied which is 2.65625moles)
therefore there is insufficient moles of O2 and the limiting reactant is oxygen.
(b)
moles of P2O5 produced
= 2/5 (according to eqn) × 2.7152
= 1.08608moles
mass of P2O5 produced
= 1.08608 × [ 2(30.973) + 5(16) ]
= 154.164g
= approx. 154g to 3 sig. fig.
(c)
% yield = actual/theoretical yield × 100%
= 123/154 × 100%
= 79.870%
= approx. 79.9% (to 3sf)
Answer:
Yes, it does, although only physically and not chemically.
Explanation:
If a volume of gas is way spread out, it won't collide with the other gas particles as often, reducing pressure and temperature because they lose kinetic energy to their surroundings when they don't collide.
If it is compressed, it increases temperature and pressure because the gas particles collide with each other and the walls of the container way more often than if they had more space.
Hope this answers your question.
P.S.
Fun fact, gas particles are actually moving at 300-400 meters per second at room temperature, they only slow down to walking speed at very low temperatures, like 10 Kelvin
1) We apply the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
n = (21300 x 3/1000) / (8.314 x 323)
n = 0.024
Your answer is correct.
2) Total pressure = Partial pressure of Hydrogen + Partial pressure of water
134.7 = 122.4 + Pw
Pw = 12.3 kPa
Your answer is correct
3) The molar fraction, volume fraction and pressure fraction of gasses are the same thing.
Thus, percentage pressure of Oxygen = 10%
Pressure of Oxygen = 2.04 x 10⁴ x 0.1
= 2.04 x 10³ kPa
Your answer is correct
Well done!
