How many molecules would there be in 10.5 L of carbon dioxide at 40.0 C and 252 kPa

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

6.14×10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Volume (V) = 10.5L

Temperature (T) = 40°C

Pressure (P) = 252 kPa

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of CO2 present.

This can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Volume (V) = 10.5L

Temperature (T) = 40°C = 40°C + 273 = 313K

Pressure (P) = 252 kPa

Gas constant (R) = 8.31 KPa.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =.?

PV = nRT

252 x 10.5 = n x 8.31 x 313

Divide both side by 8.31 x 313

n = (252 x 10.5) /(8.31 x 313)

n = 1.02 mole

Therefore, 1.02 mol of CO2 is present.

Now, we can obtain the number of molecules of CO2 present as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

This means that 1 mole of CO2 also contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

Now, if 1 mole of CO2 contains 6.02×10²³ molecules,

Then 1.02 mole will contain = 1.02 x 6.02×10²³ = 6.14×10²³ molecules.

Therefore, 6.14×10²³ molecules of CO2 is present.

what are simplified definitions of the following words"Synthesis, Decomposition, Single Replacement, or Double Replacement"?

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The Four Major Types of Reactions

Name General Reaction Pattern

Combination or synthesis A + B ----> AB

Decomposition AB ----> A + B

Substitution or Single Replacement A + BC ----> B + AC

Metathesis or Double Displacement AB + CD ----> AD + CB

Combination or Synthesis Reactions Two or more reactants unite to form a single product.

S + O2 ---------> SO2

sulphur oxygen sulphur dioxide

2 S + 3 O2 ---------> 2 SO3

sulphur oxygen sulphur trioxide

2 Fe + O2 ---------> 2 FeO

iron oxygen iron (II) oxide

Decomposition Reactions A single reactant is decomposed or broken down into two or more

products.

CaCO3 ----------> CaO + CO2

calcium carbonate calcium oxide carbon dioxide

2 H2O -----------> 2 H2 + O2

water hydrogen oxygen

2 KClO3 -----------> 2 KCl + 3 O2

potassium chlorate potassium chloride oxygen

Substitution or Single Replacement Reactions A single free element replaces or is substituted for one of the elements in a compound. The free element is more reactive than the one its replaces.

Zn + 2 HCl ----------> H2 + ZnCl2

zinc hydrochloric acid hydrogen zinc chloride

Cu + 2 AgNO3 -----------> 2 Ag + Cu(NO3)2

copper silver nitrate silver copper (II) nitrate

H2 + 2 AgNO3 -----------> 2 Ag + 2 HNO3

hydrogen silver nitrate silver nitric acid

2 Na + 2 H2O -----------> 2 NaOH + H2

sodium water sodium hydroxide hydrogen

Metathesis or Double Displacement Reactions This reaction type can be viewed as an "exchange of partners." For ionic compounds, the positive ion in the first compound combines with the negative ion in the second compound, and the positive ion in the second compound combines with the negative ion in the first compound.

HCl + NaOH -----------> NaCl + HOH

hydrochloric sodium sodium water

acid hydroxide chloride

BaCl2 + 2 AgNO3 ----------> 2 AgCl + Ba(NO3)2

barium silver silver barium

chloride nitrate chloride nitrate

(precipitate)

CaCO3 + 2 HCl -----------> CaCl2 + H2CO3

calcium hydrochloric calcium carbonic

carbonate acid chloride acid

Explanation:

The vast number of chemical reactions can be classified in any number of ways. Under one scheme they can be categorized either as oxidation-reduction (electron transfer) reactions or non-oxidation-reduction reactions. Another completely different but common classification scheme recognizes

Sometimes, based on the electron configurations of the elements involved, a possible chemical formula for a compound can be pred

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

D)the first ionization energy (IE1) of B is most probably lower than the first ionization energy (IE1) of A

Explanation:

As mentioned the possible chemical formula for a compound can be predicted from electron configurations of the elements.

The first element 'A' has electronic configuration as "[core]ns²

It means it has two valence electrons and it can give those valence electrons to attain noble gas or full filled stability.

So the element is most likely to form a dipositive ion.

Now for element B the configuration is :[Core]ns²np⁵

thus it has seven valence electrons and it will most likely to accept an electron to gain full filled stability. So B will form a mono negative ion.

The possible formula will be AB₂ [Like MgCl₂]

So the false statements are:

D)the first ionization energy (IE1) of B is most probably lower than the first ionization energy (IE1) of A : the first ionization energy of A will be lower than B as B cannot give an electron easily.

The other statements are correct:

A) element A serves as the reducing agent in the reaction to form AxBy : As A will lose electrons so it will acts as reducing agent and itself gets oxidized

B) yes it is whole number as calculated above.

C) x + y = 1+2 = 3

E) Already calculated that B has oxidation state of -1.
