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

Consider the following types of electromagnetic radiation:

liq [111]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave Wavelength

(1) Microwave = 1 m to 1 mm = $10^9 nm$ to $10^6 nm$

(2) Ultraviolet = 10 nm to 400 nm

(3) Radio waves = 1 mm to 100 km = $10^6 nm$ to $10^{14}nm$

(4) Infrared = 700 nm to 1 mm

(5) X-ray = 0.01 nm to 10 nm

(6) Visible = 400 nm t0 700 nm

a) In order of increasing wavelength:

: 5 < 2 < 6 < 4 < 1 < 3

b) Frequency of the electromagnetic wave given as:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }$

$\nu$ = frequency

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

c = speed of light

$\nu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }$

So, the increasing order of frequency:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

c) Energy(E) of the electromagnetic wave is given by Planck's equation :

$E=h\nu$

$E\propto \nu$

So, the increasing order of energy:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

You have a 5-liter container with 1.30 x 1024 molecules of ammonia gas (NH3) at STP.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

3). 1.30 × 10^(24) molecules

Explanation:

From avogadro's law which state that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

We can relate it to this question as;

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Where;

V₁ is initial volume

n₁ is initial number of molecules

V₂ is final volume

n₂ is final number of molecules

Thus at STP, we have V₁ = V₂ and as such Plugging in the relevant values gives;

5/(1.30 x 10^(24)) = 5/n₂

n₂ = 1.30 x 10^(24) molecules

Chlorine reacts with sodium and with hydrogen.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.

Explanation:

Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable

Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.

Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.

While

Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.

Covalent bond involves sharing.

Calculate the number of atoms in 2 mol of sulfur dioxide (SO2).

Alex17521 [72]

Two moles of SO2 means 1.204x10^24 molecules, since there are 3 atoms in one molecule, multiply 1.204 x10^24 by 3 and you get 3.612x10^24.
