Answer:

154 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced decomposition equation

2 NaN₃(s) ⇒ 2 Na(s) + 3 N₂(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 79.5 L of N₂ at STP

At STP, 1 mole of N₂ occupies 22.4 L.

79.5 L × 1 mol/22.4 L = 3.55 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of NaN₃ needed to form 3.55 moles of N₂

The molar ratio of NaN₃ to N₂ is 2:3. The moles of NaN₃ needed are 2/3 × 3.55 mol = 2.37 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 2.37 moles of NaN₃

The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol.

2.37 mol × 65.01 g/mol = 154 g

A 2.4L balloon filled with helium at room temperature 25oC is put into liquid nitrogen
Stels [109]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.62 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 2.4 L

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = -196°C

Final volume = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 25°C (25+273 = 298 K)

Final temperature = -196°C ( -196+273 = 77 K)

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 2.4 L × 77 K / 298 k

V₂ = 184.8 L.K / 298 K

V₂ = 0.62 L

The coordination compound Co3[Cr(CN)6]2 contains Co2+ cations and a complex anion. What is the likely oxidation state for Cr in
otez555 [7]

Answer:

-3

Explanation:

The oxidation state or oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.

The complex anion here is [Cr(CN)6]3-.

Now, as the oxidation state of CN or cyanide ligand is -1, and if we suppose the oxidation state of Cr to be 'x', then; x - 6 = -3 (overall charge on the anion),

so x= +3. Hence the oxidation state of Chromium in this complex hexacyanochromium (III) anion comes out to be -3.
