A sample of oxygen has a volume of 128 milliliter at a pressure of 500.0 mmhg calculate the volume this sample would occupy at s
leva [86]

Answer:

84.2mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 128mL

Initial pressure (P1) = 500mmHg

Final pressure (P2) = stp = 760mmHg

Final volume (V2) =..?

Thus, the new volume of the gas can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

500 x 128 = 760 x V2

Divide both side by 760

V2 = (500 x 128)/760

V2 = 84.2mL

Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 84.2mL

When 20 grams of KCIO3, is dissolved in 100 grams of water, the solution can be
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

b. unsaturated .

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out necessary for us to bear to mind the definition of each type of solution:

- Supersaturated solution: comprises a large amount of solute at a temperature at which it will be able to crystalize upon standing.

- Unsaturated solution: is a solution in which a solvent is able to dissolve any more solute at a given temperature.

- Saturated solution can be defined as a solution in which a solvent is not capable of dissolving any more solute at a given temperature.

In such a way, since 20 grams of the solute are less than the solubility, we infer this is b. unsaturated, as 33.3 grams of solute can be further added to the 100 grams of water.

Regards!

The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called a(n)
Maksim231197 [3]
<span>The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called an A. atom.
Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.

How many grams of acetylene are produced by adding water to 5.00 g CaC2?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.03125g of acetylene

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.

1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2

In terms of mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

where the molar mass of the elements are;

Ca = 40g/mol

C = 12g/mol

H = 1g/mol

CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol

C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol

64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2

5g would produce x?

64 = 26

5 = x

Upon solving for x we have;

x = (5 * 26) / 64

x = 2.03125g
