A sample of dry gas weighing 2.1025 g is found to occupy 2.850 L at 22.0oC and 740.0 mm Hg. How many moles of gas are present?
1 answer:
0.11 moles of the gas are present in the sample of dry gas.
Explanation:
Data given:
mass of the gas = 2.1025 grams
volume of the gas = 2.850 litres
temperature = 22 degrees (273.15+22) = 295.15 K
Pressure = 740 mm Hg or 0.973 atm
moles of the gas =?
R = 0.08206 atmL/Mole K
From the ideal gas law the number of moles can be calculated in the sample of dry gas. Number of moles will be determined by the pressure exerted, volume and temperature of the gas.
The formula:
PV = nRT
n =
putting the values in the above equation:
n =
= 0.11 moles
0.11 moles of the dry gas is present in the sample given.

The molarity of the HCl is 1 M when 12.0 of .500 M NaOH neutralized 6.0 ml of HCl solution.
Explanation:
Data given:
molarity of the base NaOH, Mbase =0. 5 M
volume of the base NaOH, Vbase = 12 ml
volume of the acid, Vacid = 6 ml
molarity of the acid, Macid = ?
The titration formula for acid and base is given as:
Mbase Vbase = Macid Vacid
Macid =
Macid = 1 M
we can see that 1 M solution of HCl was used to neutralize the basic solution of NaOH. The volume of NaOH is 12 ml and volume of HCl used is 6ml.
