How many liters of oxygen are necessary for the combustion of 425 g of sulfur, assuming that the reaction occurs at STP

Answer:

V = 296.6 liters of oxygen.

Explanation:

The reaction of combustion of sulfur is:

O₂(g) + S(s) → SO₂(g)        (1)

To find the volume of the oxygen we need to use the Ideal Gas Law:

V = \frac{n_{O}RT}{P}   (2)

Where:

V: is the volume

n_{O}: is the number of moles of oxygen

R: is the gas constant = 0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)

T: is the temperature = 273 K (at STP)

P: is the pressure = 1 atm (at STP)

So we need to find the number of moles of oxygen that reacts with sulfur:

n_{S} = \frac{m}{M}

Where:

n_{S}: is the number of moles of sulfur

m: is the mass of sulfur = 425 g

M: is the molar mass of sulfur = 32.065 g/mol                                                                            

n_{S}=\frac{m}{M} =\frac{425 g}{32.065 g/mol} = 13.25 moles

From reaction (1) we have that 1 mol of O₂ reacts with 1 mol of S, hence the number of moles of oxygen is:

n_{S} = n_{O} = 13.25 moles  

Finally, the volume of oxygen is (equation (2)):

V = \frac{13.25 moles*0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)*273 K}{1 atm} = 296.6 L

Therefore, are necessary 296.6 liters of oxygen for the combustion of sulfur.

             

I hope it helps you!

Which would most likely be joined by an ionic bond?
KATRIN_1 [288]
An ionic bond is composed of a cation and anion, which are charged ions. You cannot have atoms with ionic bonds, because there is no opposite attraction between charges due to atoms having a net nuclear charge of zero. Therefore, a cation and anion would most likely be joined by an ionic bond.

What is the formula for manganese (ii) fluoride decahydrate? (you may use a * to represent the dot in the formula.)?
Rasek [7]
These types of molecules are called hydrates. They have a certain number of moles attached to the salt. Their characteristic is being hygroscopic. That means that when they are exposed to air, they readily solvate. 

The formula for Manganese Fluoride Decahydrate will involve the formula Mn, F and H₂O. In ionic form, Manganese is Mn⁺² while fluoride is in F⁻. When they are brought together, their superscripts are 'cross-multiplied' and becomes their respective subscripts. The compound becomes MnF₂. Then, we add the decahydrate which means 10 moles of H₂O. Hence, the formula for Manganese Fluoride Decahydrate is MnF₂*10H₂O.

Electron X can change to a higher energy level or a lower energy level. Which statement is true of electron X?
rosijanka [135]

Answer: 2) Electron X absorbs energy when it changes to a higher energy level.

Explanation:

The electrons in an atom exist in various energy levels. When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy is absorbed by the atom. When an electron moves from a higher to a lower energy level, energy is released (often as light).

Is a cube of salt being crushed before being stirred into water a physical or chemical change
Olin [163]
By crushing the salt, you are performing a physical change because you aren't altering the chemical makeup of the salt, just the physical form. Hope this helps! :)
