A 3.42 gram sample of an unknown gas is found to occupy a volume of 1.90 L at a pressure of 547 mm Hg and a temperature of 33 °C

liq [111]

Use the Ideal Gas Law to find the moles of gas first.

Be sure to convert T from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.

Also I prefer to deal with pressure in atm rather than mmHg, so divide the pressure by 760 to get it in atm.

PV = nRT —> n = PV/RT
P = 547 mmHg = 547/760 atm = 0.720 atm
V = 1.90 L
T = 33°C = 33 + 273 K = 306 K
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

n = (0.720 atm)(1.90 L) / (0.08206 L atm / mol K)(306 K) = 0.0545 mol of gas

Now divide grams by mol to get the molecular weight.

3.42 g / 0.0545 mol = 62.8 g/mol

A molecule of butane and a molecule of 2-butene both have the same total number of

Vinvika [58]

The correct answer is option 1. Butane and 2-butene have the same total number of carbon atoms. They both have four carbon atoms. They differ in there structure since the latter has double bonds on it. As a result of the different structure, they also have different properties.

What characteristics do the elements in a group share? In a period, share?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The elements in same period have same principle quantum number or energy shell.

The elements in same group shows similar chemical and properties.

Explanation:

Inn group:

The elements in same group i.e present in vertical column shows similar chemical properties.

The elements in same group having same number of valance electrons. while in chemical reaction bonds are break and formed and valance electrons are involved. That's why elements in same group having same number of valance electrons and shows similar chemical properties.

In period:

While as we move from left to right the number of valance electron increase by one in every element. But the electron is added in same shell which means that their physical and chemical properties are different but principal quantum number is same.

The heat of vaporization of 1-pentanol is 55.5 kJ/mol, and its entropy of vaporization is 148 J/K.mol. What is the approximate b

____ [38]

Answer:

Approximately 100 °C.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the entropy of vaporization is computed in terms of the heat of vaporization and the temperature as:

$\Delta S_{vap}=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{T}$
