An element is just consisted of one type of atom and cannot be broken down by chemicals (Ex. Oxygen just has the oxygen molecule)

A compound is when there's a mixture of atoms and can be broken down by chemicals (Ex. NaCl is made up of sodium and chloride atoms)

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of molecules

Explanation:

According to Avogadro Law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

This law state that volume and number of moles of gas have direct relation.

When the amount of gas increases its volume will increase and when the amount of gas decreases its volume will decrease.

Mathematical relation:

V ∝ n

V/n = K

K is proportionality constant.

When number of moles change from n₁ to n₂ and volume from V₁ to V₂

expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = K     ,     V₂/n₂ = K

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

A mixture consists of 28% oxygen, 14% hydrogen, and 58% nitrogen by volume. A sample of this mixture has a pressure of 4.0 atm i
stepladder [879]

Answer:

C) 1.3 mol

Explanation:

Using gas law we can find the initial moles of the sample of the mixture, as follows:

PV = nRT

PV / RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure: 4.0atm</em>

<em>V is volume: 9.6L</em>

<em>R is gas constant: 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature: 300K</em>

<em>And n are moles of the gas</em>

<em />

PV / RT = n

4.0atm*9.6L / 0.082atmL/molK300K = n

n = 1.56moles of the mixture of the gas are present into the 9.6L container

Now, 14% of this gas is hydrogen that was removed of the system, that is:

1.56mol*14% = 0.22 moles of hydrogen are removed.

Thus, moles of gas that remains in the container are:

1.56mol - 0.22mol = 1.34mol.

Right answer is:

<h3>C) 1.3 mol</h3>
