Answer:

MARK AS BRAINLIEST

Explanation:

Boron trifluoride only has six valence electrons and is one of the relatively rare second period covalent molecules that disobeys the octet rule. There are three bonded groups and so no lone pairs. Six electrons implies three electron pairs and therefore a trigonal geometry.

A 40.2 g sample of a metal heated to 99.3Â°C is placed into a calorimeter containing 120 g of water at 21.8Â°C. The final temper

Answer:

B) Iron (c=0.45 J/g°C)

Explanation:

Given that:-

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by metal

Thus,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_f-T_i)$

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_i-T_f)$

For water:

Mass = 120 g

Initial temperature = 21.8 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

For metal:

Mass = 40.2 g

Initial temperature = 99.3 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of metal = ?

So,

$120\times 4.184\times (24.5-21.8)=40.2\times C_{metal}\times (99.3-24.5)$

$40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=120\times \:2.7\times \:4.184$

$40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=1355.616$

$C_{metal}=0.45\ J/g^0C$

This value corresponds to iron. Thus answer is B.

What is the volume of 14.0g of nitrogen gas at STP?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.

Explanation:

STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.

The International Institute of of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC changed the definition of standard temperature and pressure (STP) in 1982:

Before the change, STP was defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 atm (101.325 kPa).

After the change, STP is defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 105 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar).

Using the ideal gas equation of state, PV = nRT you can calculate the volume of one mole (n = 1) of gas. With the former definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP, rounded to 3 significant figures, was 22.4 liter. This is classical well known result.

With the later definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP is 22.7 liter.

I will use the traditional measure of 22.4 liter per mole of gas.

1) Convert 14.0 g of nitrogen gas to number of moles:

n = mass in grams / molar mass

Atomic mass of nitrogen: 14.0 g/mol

Nitrogen gas is a diatomic molecule, so the molar mass of nitrogen gas = molar mass of N₂ = 14.0 × 2 g/mol = 28.0 g/mol

n = 14.0 g / 28.0 g/mol = 0.500 mol

2) Set a proportion to calculate the volume of nitrogen gas:

22.4 liter / mol = x / 0.500 mol

Solve for x: x = 0.500 mol × 22.4 liter / mol = 11.2 liter.

Conclusion: the volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.
