Answer:

The mass of the helium gas is 42 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the balloon = 2.4 *10^2 L = 240 L

Temperature = 0°C = 273 K

Pressure = 99 kPa = 0.977054 atm

Molar mass He2 = 4.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles He

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure = 0.977054 atm

⇒with V = the volume = 240 L

⇒with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 273 K

n = (p*V) / (R*T)

n = (0.977054 * 240 ) / (0.08206 * 273)

n = 10.467 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass of Helium

Mass He = Moles He * molar mass He

Mass He = 10.467 moles * 4.0 g/mol

Mass He = 42 grams

The mass of the helium gas is 42 grams

NOTE: The noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon) are gases at STP and are monatomic

Answer:

The answer to your question is 8.74 g of He

Explanation:

Data

V = 2.4 x 10² L

P = 99 kPa

T = 0°C

mass = ?

Process

1.- Convert kPa to atm

P = 99 kPa = 99000 Pa

                   1 atm --------------- 101325 Pa

                    x       ---------------   99000 Pa

                   x = (99000 x 1) / 101325

                   x = 0.977 atm

2.- Convert temperature to °K

°K = 273 + 0

°K = 273

3.- Substitution

      PV = nRT

- Solve for n

      n = PV / RT

      n = (0.977)(2.4 x 10²) / (0.082)(273)

      n = 24.48 / 22.386

      n = 1.093 moles

4.- Calculate the grams of He

          8 g -------------------- 1 mol

           x    -------------------- 1.093 moles

           x = (1.093 x 8) / 1

           x = 8.74 g

The characteristics of two different types of reactions are shown downwards
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Valence electrons are involved in Reaction B but not in Reaction A.

Explanation:

The description of reaction A in which protons are lost or gained by the atom of the element is a nuclear reaction. In nuclear reactions, the nucleons which are the protons and neutrons drives the reaction. No valence electrons in the orbiting shells are involved in this kind of reaction. During this type of reaction, an atom changes it identity to that of another.

Reaction B in which no identity change occurs is a chemical reaction. In chemical reactions bonds are formed by the atoms using the valence electrons that orbits round the central nucleus. The atoms remain the same but it chose to attain stability and an inert configuration by losing or gaining electrons.

Why is it better to use deionized water in chemistry experiments
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Laboratories use both distilled water and deionized water as controls in experiments. Deionization removes only non-charged organic matter from the water.

Explanation:

Distilled water removes even more impurities than deionization does, if the water undergoes a filtering process before boiling and distillation.
