The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

This is the chemical formula for carvone (the chemical that gives spearmint its flavor) $C_{10}H_{14}O$ : An organic chemist has determined by measurements that there are 27.3 moles of carbon in a sample of carvone. How many moles of oxygen are in the sample

Answer: 2.73 moles of oxygen are there in the sample.

Explanation:

The chemical formula of carvone is $C_{10}H_{14}O$ .

This means:

When 10 moles of carbon are there in carvone , 1 mole of oxygen is there in carvone

Thus for 27.3 moles of carbon in carvone , $\frac{1}{10}\times 27.3=2.73$ mole of oxygen is there in carvone.

Thus 2.73 moles of oxygen are there in the sample.

Problem PageQuestion Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume

IgorC [24]

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)

V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant = $0.0821Latm/Kmol$

T =temperature = $273K=$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{1atm\times 3.16L}{0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 273K}=0.141moles$

$CH_4+4Cl_2\rightarrow 4HCl+CCl_4$

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = $\frac{1}{4}\times 0.141=0.0352$ moles of carbon tetrachloride

volume of carbon tetrachloride = $moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=0.0352mol\times 22.4L/mol=0.788L$

Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Consider the reaction:

murzikaleks [220]

<u>Answer:</u> The formation of given amount of oxygen gas results in the absorption of 713 kJ of heat.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of oxygen gas = 83 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{83g}{32g/mol}=2.594mol$

For the given chemical equation:

$2Fe_2O_3\rightarrow 4Fe+3O_2;\Delta H^o_{rxn}=+824.2kJ$

<u>Sign convention of heat:</u>

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 3 moles of oxygen gas is formed, the amount of heat absorbed is 824.2 kJ

So, when 2.594 moles of oxygen gas is formed, the amount of heat absorbed will be = $\frac{824.2kJ}{3mol}\times 2.59mol=713kJ$

Hence, the formation of given amount of oxygen gas results in the absorption of 713 kJ of heat.

0.200 grams of HCl is dissolved in 0.801 grams water. The density of the solution formed is 1.10 g/mL. What is the molarity of t

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

$M=6.03M$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the molarity is computed by:

$M=\frac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution}}$

Whereas the solute is the hydrochloric acid, we compute the corresponding moles with its molar mass (36.45 g/mol):

$n_{solute}=0.200gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.45gHCl} =0.00549molHCl$

Next, since the solution contains both HCl and water, we compute the volume in liters by using its density:

$V_{solution}=(0.200+0.801)g*\frac{1mL}{1.10g} *\frac{1L}{1000mL} =9.1x10^{-4}L$

Therefore, the molarity turns out:

$M=\frac{0.00549mol}{9.1x10^{-4}L}\\ \\M=6.03M$

Regards.

Some nitrogen for use in synthesizing ammonia is heated slowly, maintaining the external pressure close to the internal pressure

swat32

Answer: The work done for the given process is -2188.7 J

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of work done for an isothermal process is given by the equation:

$W=-P\Delta V=-P(V_2-V_1)$

W = amount of work done = ?

P = pressure = 50.0 atm

$V_1$ = initial volume = 542 L

$V_2$ = final volume = 974 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$W=-50.0atm\times (974-542)L=-21600L.atm$

To convert this into joules, we use the conversion factor:

$1L.atm=101.33J$

So, $-21600L.atm=-21600\times 101.33=-2188728J=-2188.7kJ$

The negative sign indicates the system is doing work.

Hence, the work done for the given process is -2188.7 J
