When CO2(g) is put in a sealed container at 730 K and a pressure of 10.0 atm and is heated to 1420 K , the pressure rises to 24.

1 atm . Some of the CO2 decomposes to CO and O2.
Calculate the mole percent of CO2 that decomposes.

Answer:

48%

Explanation:

Based on Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. To solve this question we must assume the temperature increases and all CO2 remains without reaction. The equation is:

P1T2 = P2T1

<em>Where Pis pressure and T absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas:</em>

P1 = 10.0atm

T2 = 1420K

P2 = ?

T1 = 730K

P2 = 10.0atm*1420K / 730K

P2 = 19.45 atm

The CO2 reacts as follows:

2CO2 → 2CO+ O2

Where 2 moles of gas react producing 3 moles of gas

Assuming the 100% of CO2 react, the pressure will be:

19.45atm * (3mol / 2mol) = 29.175atm

As the pressure rises just to 24.1atm the moles that react are:

24.1atm * (2mol / 19.45atm) = 2.48 moles of gas are present

The increase in moles is of 0.48 moles, a 100% express an increase of 1mol. The mole percent that descomposes is:

0.48mol / 1mol * 100 = 48%

Analysis of a compound of sulfur, oxygen and fluorine showed that it is 31.42% S and 31.35% O, with F accounting for the remaind
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The molecular formula is  SO2F2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of compound = 100 grams

The compound contains:

31.42 % S = 31.42 grams S

31.35 % O = 31.35 grams O

100 - 31.42 - 31.35 = 37.23 F

Molar mass of S = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass F = 19.00 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles S = 31.42 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles S = 0.9799 moles

Moles 0 = 31.35 grams / 16.00 g/mol

Moles 0 = 1.959 moles

Moles F = 37.23 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles F = 1.959 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.9799 / 0.9799 = 1

F: 1.959/ 0.9799 = 2

O : 1.959 / 0.9799 = 2

The empirical formula is SO2F2

This formula has a molecular mass of 102.06 g/mol

This means the empirical formula is also the molecular formula : SO2F2

Which of the following pieces of laboratory glassware should be used to most accurately measure out a 25.00 ml sample of a solut
wel

Answer:

The correct answer is 25 mL graduated cylinder (it should be used in all the cases)

Explanation:

In order to measure 25.00 ml sample of a solution it should be used a 25 mL graduated cylinder, as it is previously and properly calibrated. The other laboratory glassware, beaker and erlenmeyer, have graduations which are approximate, so they are used when exact volumes are not needed.

ii) graduated cylinder has the least uncertainly. It is more accurate than a beaker or erlenmeyer (to within 1%)

iii) A 25 mL graduated cylinder should be used because it is the most accurate lab glassware (between those were mentioned: beaker, erlenmeyer).
