Answer:

Weight is a 'force' and in the imperial system, it is measured in pounds-force (lbf or lbf). You might hear this term used together with the term 'slug'. A slug has a mass of 32.174049 lb.

How many moles of oxygen must be placed

umka21 [38]

Answer: 0.245 moles of oxygen must be placed in the container to exert the given pressure at the given temperature. The Ideal Gas Law equation gives the relationship among the pressure, volume, temperature, and moles of gas.

Further Explanation:

The Ideal Gas Equation is:

$PV = nRT$

where:

P - pressure (in atm)

V - volume (in L)

n - amount of gas (in moles)

R - universal gas constant $0.08206 \frac{L-atm}{mol-K}$

T - temperature (in K)

In the problem, we are given the values:

P = 2.00 atm (3 significant figures)

V = 3.00 L (3 significant figures)

n = ?

T = 25.0 degrees Celsius (3 significant figures)

We need to convert the temperature to Kelvin before we can use the Ideal Gas Equation. The formula to convert from degree Celsius to Kelvin is:

$Temperature \ in \ Kelvin = Temperature\ in \ Celsius \ + \ 273.15$

Therefore, for this problem,

$Temperature\ in \ K = 25.0 +273.15\\Temperature\ in \ K = 298.15$

Solving for n using the Ideal Gas Equation:

$n \ = \frac{PV}{RT}\\n \ = \frac{(2.00 \ atm) \ (3.00 \ L)}{(0.08206 \ \frac{L-atm}{mol-K})( 298.15 \ K)} \\n \ = 0.245 \ mol$

The least number of significant figures is 3, therefore, the final answer must have only 3 significant figures.

Formular for solubility

Komok [63]

Answer:

= konstanta produk kelarutan

= kation dalam larutan berair

= anion dalam larutan berair

= konsentrasi relatif a dan b

DARI WEB

Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g . Solubility of NaNO3=21.9g or NaNO3 x 100 g/ 25 g =87.6. Calculate the molar mass of the dissolved compound as the sum of mass of all atoms in the molecule.

Why is copper (i) sulfate Cu2So4^-2? not copper (ii)?

const2013 [10]

Copper (I) oxidation state is 1 Cu2So4
copper (II) oxidation state is +2 CuSo4
copper (i) also give up one electron so you need two of them to react with the sulfate ion (which has charge of -2)
and also all metallic ions have an multiple oxidation levels corresponding to the number of electrons they can exchange or loose
Hope this helps
