You will need the equation PV = nRT
P = Pressure in kPa
V = Volume in L
n = moles
R = 8.314 (constant)
T = Temperature in Kelvin
First convert 2.5 atm into kPa:
2.5 X 101.3 = 253.25 kPa
Convert 125 Celsius into Kelvin:
125 + 273 = 398 K
Convert Gallons to Litres:
1.25 X 3.79 = 4.74 L
Plug your values into the equation to solve for n:
(253.25)(4.74) = n(8.314)(398)
n = (253.25)(4.74)/(8.314)(398)
n = 0.362 moles
Now use M = m/n to solve for the mass of O2
M = Molar Mass
M = mass
n= moles
32 = m/(0.362)
m = (32)(0.362)
m = 11.58g
The compound : C₄₀H₄₄N₄O
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components
The principle of determining empirical formula
• Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
• Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass
The mol ratio of composition : C : H : N : O
Thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers Examples include: polyethylene (PS) and polyvinyl choline (PVC). Common thermoplastics range from 20,000 to 50,000 amu, while thermosets are assumed to have infinite molecular weight.
