- How many grams are in 4.6 x 1016 molecules of phosphorus trichloride (PCI)?

Chemistry
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

0.0000101 grams.

Explanation:

First of all, use Avogadro's number to convert from molecules to moles.

Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23.

Second of all, to convert from moles to grams, find the substance formula of phosphorus trichloride. After finding the substance formula, then find the molar mass of phosphorus trichloride.

Phosphorus trichloride is PCl3

Now find the molar mass of PCl3

P = 31.0 amu

Cl = 35.5 amu

They are three chlorine atoms and one phosphorus atom. So you do this.

31.0(1) + 35.5(3) = 137.5 g/mol

Now use dimensional analysis to show your work

4.6 x 10^16 grams of PCl3 * 1 mol/ 6.02 x 10^23 * 137.5 g/mol / 1 mol

The grams and the moles cancel out.

So now do [(4.6 x 10^16) / (6.02 x 10^23)] x 137.5

and you will get 0.000010507

4.6 has the fewest digits which is 2.

So use sig figs and the answer rounds to the nearest millionths.

0.000010507 rounds to 0.0000101

So the final answer is 0.0000101 grams(don't forget the units)

Hope it helped!

How many grams of gas must be released from a 32.0 L sample of CO2(g) at STP to reduce the volume to 16.6 L at STP?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

30.3 g

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mol of any gas will occupy 22.4 L.

With the information above in mind, we <u>calculate how many moles are there in 32.0 L</u>:

  • 32.0 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol = 1.43 mol

Then we <u>calculate how many moles would there be in 16.6 L</u>:

  • 16.6 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol = 0.741 mol

The <u>difference in moles is</u>:

  • 1.43 mol - 0.741 mol = 0.689 mol

Finally we <u>convert 0.689 moles of CO₂ into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 0.689 mol * 44 g/mol = 30.3 g

Answer:

When a front passes over an area, it means a change in the weather. Many fronts cause weather events such as rain, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and tornadoes. At a cold front, there may be dramatic thunderstorms. At a warm front, there may be low stratus clouds. Usually, the skies clear once the front has passed.

Which of these describes a Mole in Chemistry?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: Thus the correct option is  D. All of the above describe a mole

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass in grams.

1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Mole is the S.I unit for measuring the amount of substance. It is often used to measure large number of particles.

Thus the correct option is  D. All of the above describe a mole
