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!

Physical Change: It is a type of change in which matter changes its physical state like shape, size but is not transformed into another substance. It is usually a reversible process.

Chemical Change: It is a type of change in which the rearrangement of atoms of one or more than one substance is involved.  and it changes its chemical composition that is there is a formation of at least one new substance. It is usually an irreversible process.

Now, keeping in mind the definitions, we can easily classify the examples in the question as physical or chemical change.

1. Using the Slater rule, determine the effective nuclear charge of platinum.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Z* = 3.55

Explanation:

Slater rule says that:

Z*= Z - S

Z* be the nuclear effective charge

Z is the nuclear charge

S is the shielding constant

First we write the electronic configuration of platinum:1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2} 3p^{6} 3d^{10} 4s^{2} 4p^{6} 4d^{10} 5s^{2} 5p^{6} 4f^{14} 5d^{9} 6s^{1}

The first Slater rule says that we need to group:

(1s^{2}) (2s, 2p)^{8} (3s, 3p)^{8} (3d^{10}) (4s, 4p)^{8} (4d^{10}) (5s, 5p)^{8} (4f^{14}) (5d^{9}) (6s^{1})

The second rule says that the electrons to the right are not shielding, but we are going to solve the exercise for the last level (6s), so we don't have electrons to the right.

For the third rule we have two considerations, if is ns or np and if is nd or nf:

For our case, we have an electro that is in ns, so the rule says that

-electrons within same group shield 0.35, except the 1s which shield 0.30

-electrons within the n-1 group shield 0.85

-electrons within the n-2 or lower groups shield 1.00

Now we can proceed with the calculation:

The first consideration in the third rule does not apply as we only have one electron on this level.

The second consideration will be as follow for the level 5, where we have 17 electrons.

Finally the third consideration will be for levels 1, 2, 3 and 4, where we have 14 for 4f, 10 for 4d, 8 for 4s and 4p, 10 for 3d, 8 for 3s and 3p, 8 for 2s and 2p and finally 2 for 1s, which gives 60 electrons.

So the result for S=(60*1.00 + 17*0.85) = 74.45

And the equation is: Z* = 78 - 74.45

So Z* = 3.55

The structure that houses dna
Alecsey [184]

The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell's genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins. Inside the nucleus, chromatin (DNA wrapped around proteins, described further below) is stored in a gel-like substance called nucleoplasm.
