<u>Answer:</u> The mass of osmium in kilograms and in pounds are 318.9141 kg and 703.085 pounds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of sphere, we use the formula:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

where,

r = radius of sphere

We are given:

Radius of osmium = 15 cm

Volume of osmium = $\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (15)^3=14130cm^3$

Density of osmium = $22.57g/cm^3$

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$22.57g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of osmium}}{14130cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of osmium}=318914.g$

To convert the given mass into kilo grams and pounds, we use the conversion factors:

1 kg = 1000 grams

So, $318914.1g=318914.1g\times \frac{1kg}{1000g}=318.9141kg$

And,

1 pound = 453.592 g

So, $318914.1g=318914.1g\times \frac{1pound}{453.592g}=703.085pounds$

Hence, the mass of osmium in kilograms and in pounds are 318.9141 kg and 703.085 pounds.

1. The pressure of a gas is 100.0 kPa and its volume is 500.0 ml. If the volume increases to 1,000.0 ml, what is the new pressur

marta [7]

Answer:

1) The new pressure of the gas is 500 kilopascals.

2) The final volume is 1.44 liters.

3) Volume will decrease by approximately 67 %.

4) The Boyle's Laws deals with pressures and volumes.

Explanation:

1) From the Equation of State for Ideal Gases we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}, P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kPa.

$V_{1}, V_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in mililiters.

If we know that $P_{1} = 100\,kPa$ , $V_{1} = 500\,mL$ and $V_{2} = 1000\,mL$ , then the new pressure of the gas is:

$P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)$

$P_{2} = 500\,kPa$

The new pressure of the gas is 500 kilopascals.

2) Let suppose that gas experiments an isothermal process. From the Equation of State for Ideal Gases we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}, P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kPa.

$V_{1}, V_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in mililiters.

If we know that $V_{1} = 3.60\,L$ , $P_{1} = 10\,kPa$ and $P_{2} = 25\,kPa$ then the new volume of the gas is:

$V_{2} = V_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} \right)$

$V_{2} = 1.44\,L$

The final volume is 1.44 liters.

3) From the Equation of State for Ideal Gases we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}, P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kPa.

$V_{1}, V_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in mililiters.

If we know that $\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = 3$ , then the volume ratio is:

$\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = 3$

$\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}$

Volume will decrease by approximately 67 %.

4) The Boyle's Laws deals with pressures and volumes.

The rate of disappearance of HBr in the gas phase reaction2HBr(g) → H2(g) + Br2(g)is 0.301 M s-1 at 150°C. The rate of appearanc

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: 0.151

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$2HBr(g)\rightarrow H_2(g)+Br_2(g$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

$Rate=-\frac{1d[HBr]}{2dt}=+\frac{1d[H_2]}{2dt}=+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}$

Given: $-\frac{d[HBr]}{dt}]=0.301$

Putting in the values we get:

$\frac{0.301}{2}=+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}$

$+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}=0.151$

Thus the rate of appearance of $Br_2$ is 0.151

Calculate the mass of beryllium (Be) needed to completely react with 18.9 g nitrogen gas (N2) to produce Bez N2, which is the on

choli [55]

Answer:

C = 18.29 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of beryllium needed = ?

Mass of nitrogen = 18.9 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3Be + N₂ → Be₃N₂

now we will calculate the number of moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 18.9 g/ 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.675 mol

Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen and Be from balance chemical equation.

N₂ : Be

1 : 3

0.675 : 3/1×0.675 = 2.03 mol

Number of moles of Be needed are 2.03 mol.

Mass of Beryllium:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2.03 mol × 9.01 g/mol

Mass = 18.29 g
