For the answer to the question above, I'll show the solution to my answers

moles C = 82.66 g/ 12.0111 g/mol=6.882 
<span>moles H = 17.34 g/ 1.008 g/mol=17.20 </span>

<span>17.20/ 6.882 =2.5 => H </span>

How many liters of ammonia (NH3), at 3.2 atm and 23C, must be used to produce of 2.65 grams of calcium hydride (CaH2). 6 Ca(s)
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    V = 0.32 L

Explanation:

Data

Volume of NH₃ = ?

P = 3.2 atm

T = 23°C

mass of CaH₂ = 2.65 g

Balanced chemical reaction

               6Ca  +  2NH₃   ⇒   3CaH₂  +  Ca₃N₂

Process

1.- Convert the mass of CaH₂ to moles

-Calculate the molar mass of CaH₂

 CaH₂ = 40 + 2 = 42 g

                             42 g ------------------ 1 mol

                              2.65 g --------------  x

                              x = (2.65 x 1)/42

                              x = 0.063 moles

2.- Calculate the moles of NH₃

                     2 moles of NH₃ --------------- 3 moles of CaH₂

                      x                        --------------- 0.063 moles

                                x = (0.063 x 2) / 3

                                x = 0.042 moles of NH₃

3.- Convert the °C to °K

Temperature = 23°C + 273

                      = 296°K

4.- Calculate the volume of NH₃

-Use the ideal gas law

              PV = nRT

-Solve for V

                V = nRT / P

-Substitution

                V = (0.042)(0.082)(296) / 3.2

-Simplification

               V = 1.019 / 3.2

-Result

               V = 0.32 L

Calculate the equilibrium number of vacancies per cubic meter for copper at 1000K. The energy for vacancy formation is 0.9eV/ato
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Therefore the equilibrium number of vacancies per unit cubic meter =2.34×10²⁴ vacancies/ mole

Explanation:

The equilibrium number of of vacancies is denoted by N_v.

It is depends on

  • total no. of atomic number(N)
  • energy required for vacancy
  • Boltzmann's constant (k)= 8.62×10⁻⁵ev K⁻¹
  • temperature (T).

N_v=Ne^{-\frac{Q_v}{kT} }

To find  equilibrium number of of vacancies we have find N.

N=\frac{N_A\ \rho}{A_{cu}}

Here ρ= 8.45 g/cm³  =8.45 ×10⁶m³

N_A= Avogadro Number = 6.023×10²³

A_{Cu}= 63.5 g/mole

N=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 8.45\times 10^{6}}{63.5}

   =8.01\times 10^{28 g/mole

Here Q_v=0.9 ev/atom , T= 1000k

Therefore the equilibrium number of vacancies per unit cubic meter,

N_v=( 8.01\times 10^{28}) e^{-(\frac{0.9}{8.62\times10^{-5}\times 1000})

   =2.34×10²⁴ vacancies/ mole

In a thin layer chromatography experiment, a plate of length 9.3 cm was used and a horizontal line was made at 1.45 cm above the
dezoksy [38]

Answer: The R_f value is 0.664

Explanation:

Distance travelled by solvent front = (7.7-1.45)cm = 6.25 cm

Distance travelled by unknown = (5.6-1.45) cm = 4.15 cm

 The retention factor or the R_f value is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front.

R_f=\frac{\text {distance travelled by unknown}}{\text {distance travelled by solvent}}

R_f=\frac{4.15}{6.25}=0.664

Thus the R_f value is 0.664
