Answer:

The combined gas law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely related to the volume and directly related to the temperature. If temperature is held constant, the equation is reduced to Boyle's law. Therefore, if you decrease the pressure of a fixed amount of gas, its volume will increase.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that contains a) 45.5 lbm of silver, b) 83.7 lbm of gold, and c) 6.3 lbm o

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

$\% atAg=44.6\%\\\% atAu=44.9\%\\\% atCu=10.5\%$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for computing the atom percent, one must obtain the number of atoms of silver, gold and copper as shown below:

$atomsAg=45.5lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsAg}{1molAg}=1.15x10^{26}atomsAg\\atomsAu=83.7lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAu}{196.97gAu}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsAu}{1molAu}=1.16x10^{26}atomsAu\\atomsCu=6.3lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAg}{63.55gCu}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsCu}{1molCu}=2.71x10^{25}atomsCu$

Thus, the atom percent turns out:

$\% atAg=\frac{1.15x10^{26}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =44.6\%\\\% atAu=\frac{1.16x10^{26}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =44.9\%\\\% atCu=\frac{2.71x10^{25}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =10.5\%$

Best regards.

A 3.42 gram sample of an unknown gas is found to occupy a volume of 1.90 L at a pressure of 547 mm Hg and a temperature of 33 °C

liq [111]

Use the Ideal Gas Law to find the moles of gas first.

Be sure to convert T from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.

Also I prefer to deal with pressure in atm rather than mmHg, so divide the pressure by 760 to get it in atm.

PV = nRT —> n = PV/RT
P = 547 mmHg = 547/760 atm = 0.720 atm
V = 1.90 L
T = 33°C = 33 + 273 K = 306 K
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

n = (0.720 atm)(1.90 L) / (0.08206 L atm / mol K)(306 K) = 0.0545 mol of gas

Now divide grams by mol to get the molecular weight.

3.42 g / 0.0545 mol = 62.8 g/mol

For the reaction 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g) => N2(g) + 2 H2O(g) the following data were collected. What is the rate law for this react

harkovskaia [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate law expression for the given reaction is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(g)$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[NO]^2[H_2]^2$

Hence, the rate law expression for the given reaction is written above.

"calculate the ratio of the velocity of hydrogen molecules to the velocity of carbon dioxide molecules at the same temperature"

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 1:4.69

Explanation:

The ratio can be expressed as:

Ua/Ub= √(Mb/Ma)

Where Ua/Ub is the ratio of velocity of hydrogen to carbon dioxide and Ma is the molecular mass of hydrogen gas= 2

Mb is the molecular mass of CO2 = 44

Therefore

Ua/Ub= √(44/2)

Ua/Ub = 4.69

Therefore the ratio of velocity of hydrogen gas to carbon dioxide = 1:4.69

which implies hydogen is about 4.69 times faster than carbon dioxide.
