Determine the number of moles and mass of the sample of argon occupying 37.8L at STP
1 answer:
Answer:
The number of moles and mass of the sample of argon occupying 37.8L at STP are 1.6875 moles and 67.41 grams respectively.
Explanation:
The STP conditions refer to the standard temperature and pressure. Pressure values at 1 atmosphere and temperature at 0 ° C are used and are reference values for gases. And in these conditions 1 mole of any gas occupies an approximate volume of 22.4 liters.
Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of STP 22.4 L are occupied by 1 mole of Ar, 37.8 L of Ar are occupied by how many moles?
amount of moles= 1.6875 moles
The atomic weight of Ar is 39.948 g/mol. So the mass of the sample of argon can be calculated as:
1.6875 moles* 39.948 = 67.41 grams

The specific gravity of a sample is the ratio of the density of the sample with respect to one standard sample. The standard sample used in specific gravity calculation is water whose density is 1 g/mL. The solution having specific gravity 1.30 is the density of the sample that is 1.30 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 30 mL sample is (30×1.30) = 39 g.
Now the mass of the 10 mL of water is 10 g as density of water is 10 g/mL. Thus after addition the total mass of the solution is (39 + 10) = 49g and the volume is (30 + 10) = 40 mL. Thus the density of the mixture will be g/mL. Thus the specific gravity of the mixed sample will be 1.225 g/mL.
