The definition of a gem is "a precious stone, cut and polished for jewelry. They are all minerals. Some highly desirable gemstones may not be suitable for jewelry, yet be very collectible, like sphene. Others, like those in the corundum family, are prized for color and hardness, like emeralds and diamonds. Further, some common minerals, when polished, make beautiful pieces. With all that said, i woukd go with rarer.

A gas at STP occupies 22.4 L if the temperature is changed to 260 K and the pressures changed it to 0.50 ATM what will the new v
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The new volume will be 42, 7 L.

Explanation:

We use the gas formula, which results from the combination of the Boyle, Charles and Gay-Lussac laws. According to which at a constant mass, temperature, pressure and volume vary, keeping constant PV / T. The conditions STP are: 1 atm of pressure and 273 K of temperature.

P1xV1/T1 =P2xV2/T2

1 atmx 22,4 L/273K = 0,5atmx V2/260K

V2=((1 atmx 22,4 L/273K )x 260K)/0,5 atm= 42, 67L

How many moles of chlorine are in 6.67x10^40 chlorine molecules?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
To solve for the number of moles, we simply have to use the Avogadros number which states that there are 6.022 x 10^23 molecules per mole. Therefore:
 
number of moles = 6.67 X 10^40 chlorine molecules / (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / mole)
number of moles = 1.108 x 10^17 moles

Calculate the freezing point of a solution containing 5.0 grams of KCl and 550.0 grams of water. The molal-freezing-point-depres
yulyashka [42]

<u>Answer:</u> The freezing point of solution is -0.454°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Depression in freezing point is defined as the difference in the freezing point of pure solution and freezing point of solution.

The equation used to calculate depression in freezing point follows:

\Delta T_f=\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_f=iK_fm

Or,

\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

where,

Freezing point of pure solution = 0°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 2

K_f = molal freezing point elevation constant = 1.86°C/m

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (KCl) = 5.0 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (KCl) = 74.55 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (water) = 550.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0-\text{Freezing point of solution}=2\times 1.86^oC/m\times \frac{5\times 1000}{74.55g/mol\times 550}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=-0.454^oC

Hence, the freezing point of solution is -0.454°C
