Hello!
Ok so for this problem we use the ideal gas law of PV=nRT and I take it that the scientist needs to store 0.400 moles of gas and not miles.
So if we have
n=0.400mol
V=0.200L
T= 23degC= 273k+23c=296k
R=ideal gas constant= 0.0821 L*atm/mol*k
So now we rearrange equation for pressure(P)
P=nRT/V
P=((0.400mol)*(0.0821 L*atm/mol*k)*(296k))/(0.200L) = 48.6 atm of pressure
Hope this helps you understand the concept and how to solve yourself in the future!! Any questions, please feel free to ask!! Thank you kindly!!!
Answer:
Here's what I get.
Explanation:
Mg + 2HCl ⟶ MgCl₂ + H₂
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the total mass of the products must equal the total mass of the reactants.
However, one of the products is a gas, hydrogen. The gas escapes into the atmosphere, so you will not be weighing it at the end of the reaction.
The mass of the test tube and contents after the reaction will be less than before the reaction.
However, that doesn't violate the Law of Conservation of Mass. You just didn't measure the mass of all the products.
