One liter of oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure has a mass of 1.43 g. The same volume of hydrogen gas under these c

onditions is 0.089 g. If both volumes contain the same number of gas particles (according to Avogadro's hypothesis), how can this difference in mass be explained?

Answer:

Indeed, the two samples should contain about the same number of gas particles. However, the molar mass of \rm O_2\; (g) is larger than that of \rm H_2\; (g) (by a factor of about 16.) Therefore, the mass of the \rm O_2\; (g) sample is significantly larger than that of the \rm H_2\; (g) sample.

Explanation:

The \rm O_2\; (g) and the \rm H_2\; (g) sample here are under the same pressure and temperature, and have the same volume. Indeed, if both gases are ideal, then by Avogadro's Law, the two samples would contain the same number of gas particles (\rm O_2\; (g) and \rm H_2\; (g) molecules, respectively.) That is:

n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2).

Note that the mass of a gas m is different from the number of gas particles n in it. In particular, if all particles in this gas have a molar mass of M, then:

m = n \cdot M.

In other words,

  • m(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{O_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{O_2}).
  • m(\mathrm{H_2}) = n(\mathrm{H_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{H_2}).

The ratio between the mass of the \rm O_2\; (g) and that of the \rm H_2\; (g) sample would be:

\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}.

Since n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2) by Avogadro's Law:

\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}.

Look up relative atomic mass data on a modern periodic table:

  • \rm O: 15.999.
  • \rm H: 1.008.

Therefore:

  • M(\mathrm{O_2}) = 2 \times 15.999 \approx 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.
  • M(\mathrm{H_2}) = 2 \times 1.008 \approx 2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.

Verify whether \begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}:

  • Left-hand side: \displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{1.43\; \rm g}{0.089\; \rm g} \approx 16.1.
  • Right-hand side: \displaystyle \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}}{2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 15.9.

Note that the mass of the \rm H_2\; (g) sample comes with only two significant figures. The two sides of this equations would indeed be equal if both values are rounded to two significant figures.

Magnesium chloride is a salt formed with ionic bonds between one magnesium ion and two chloride ions. Magnesium has two electron
katrin [286]

Answer:

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).

The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.

The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to  attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.

The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

In a lab experiment 80.0 g of ammonia [NH3] and 120 g of oxygen are placed in a reaction vessel. At the end of the reaction 72.2
valentinak56 [21]

The percent yield of the reaction : 89.14%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction of Ammonia and Oxygen in a lab :

<em>4 NH₃ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4 NO(g)+ 6 H₂O(g)</em>

mass NH₃ = 80 g

mol NH₃ (MW=17 g/mol):

\dfrac{80}{17}=4.706

mass O₂ = 120 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{120}{32}=3.75

Mol ratio of reactants(to find limiting reatants) :

\tt \dfrac{4.706}{4}\div \dfrac{3.75}{5}=1.1765\div 0.75\rightarrow O_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)

mol of H₂O based on O₂ as limiting reactants :

mol H₂O :

\tt \dfrac{6}{5}\times 3.75=4.5

mass H₂O :

4.5 x 18 g/mol = 81 g

The percent yield :

\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\\%yield=\dfrac{72.2}{81}\times 100\%=89.14\%
