Answer:

1.9 × 10² g NaN₃

1.5 g/L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced decomposition equation

2 NaN₃(s) ⇒ 2 Na(s) + 3 N₂(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles of N₂ formed

N₂ occupies a 80.0 L bag at 1.3 atm and 27 °C (300 K). We will calculate the moles of N₂ using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V / R × T

n = 1.3 atm × 80.0 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 300 K = 4.2 mol

We can also calculate the mass of nitrogen using the molar mass (M) 28.01 g/mol.

4.2 mol × 28.01 g/mol = 1.2 × 10² g

Step 3: Calculate the mass of NaN₃ needed to form 1.2 × 10² g of N₂

The mass ratio of NaN₃ to N₂ is 130.02:84.03.

1.2 × 10² g N₂ × 130.02 g NaN₃/84.03 g N₂ = 1.9 × 10² g NaN₃

Step 4: Calculate the density of N₂

We will use the following expression.

ρ = P × M / R × T

ρ = 1.3 atm × 28.01 g/mol / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 300 K = 1.5 g/L

What is the mass of 2.542 × 1026 atoms of F?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

7.98 × 10^3grams.

Explanation:

To find the mass of fluorine in the number of atoms provided, we first divide the number of atoms by Avagadros number (6.02 × 10^23atoms) to get the number of moles in the fluorine atom. That is;

number of moles (n) = number of atoms (nA) ÷ 6.02 × 10^23 atoms

n = 2.542 × 10^26 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

n = 0.42 × 10^ (26-23)

n = 0.42 × 10^3

n = 4.2 × 10^2moles

Using mole = mass ÷ molar mass

Molar/atomic mass of fluorine (F) = 19g/mol

mass = molar mass × mole

Mass (g) = 19 × 4.2 × 10^2

Mass = 79.8 × 10^2

Mass = 7.98 × 10^3grams.

A sample of 3.62 moles of diphosphorous trioxide is
Sindrei [870]

H_3PO_32H_3PO_32H_3PO_3P_2O_3Answer:

B

Explanation:

This question is about stoichiometry. From the balanced equation P_2O_3 + 3H_2O⇒2H_3PO_3, we see that 3 moles of water is needed to react with 1 mole of P_2O_3.

This means that, to fully react 3.62 moles of P_2O_3, we would need 3*3.62 or  10.86 moles of water. However, we only have 6.31 moles, so water is the limiting reactant.

Since 3 moles of water react with 1 mole of P_2O_3, 6.31 moles of water can fully react with 6.31÷3 or 2.1033 moles of P_2O_3.

From the balanced equation, we see that every mole of P_2O_3 reacted gets you 2 moles of 2H_3PO_3. Therefore, 2.1033 moles of P_2O_3 would give you approximately 4.21 moles of H_3PO_3.

What does electron have to do with color ? In one sentence
Goryan [66]

Electrons absorb energy, as they absorb energy they go from ground state to excited state and to return to ground state electrons release energy in the form of photons producing that color.
