A sample of CO2 weighing 86.34g contains how many molecules?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis
Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

86.34 g CO₂

Step 2: Identify Conversion

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of CO₂ - 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 44.01 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

$86.34 \ g \ CO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ CO_2}{44.01 \ g \ CO_2} )(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ CO_2}{1 \ mol \ CO_2} )$ = 1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

Step 4: Check

We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂ ≈ 1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

You mix 200. mL of 0.400M HCl with 200. mL of 0.400M NaOH in a coffee cup calorimeter. The temperature of the solution goes from

GuDViN [60]

Answer : The enthalpy of neutralization is, 56.012 kJ/mole

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of HCl and NaOH.

$\text{Moles of HCl}=\text{Concentration of HCl}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.400mole/L\times 0.200L=0.08mol$

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\text{Concentration of NaOH}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.400mole/L\times 0.200L=0.08mol$

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of HCl neutralizes by 1 mole of NaOH

So, 0.08 mole of HCl neutralizes by 0.08 mole of NaOH

Thus, the number of neutralized moles = 0.08 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. So, the mass of water will be:

The volume of water = $200mL+200L=400mL$

$\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1g/ml\times 400mL=400g$

Now we have to calculate the heat absorbed during the reaction.

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = heat absorbed = ?

$c$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

m = mass of water = 400 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature of water = $27.78^oC=273+25.10=300.78K$

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature of metal = $25.10^oC=273+27.78=298.1K$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=400g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (300.78-298.1)K$

$q=4480.96J$

Thus, the heat released during the neutralization = -4480.96 J

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of neutralization.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of neutralization = ?

q = heat released = -4480.96 J

n = number of moles used in neutralization = 0.08 mole

$\Delta H=\frac{-4480.96J}{0.08mole}=-56012J/mole=-56.012kJ/mol$

The negative sign indicate the heat released during the reaction.

Therefore, the enthalpy of neutralization is, 56.012 kJ/mole

sattari [20]

Answer:

Step 1;

q = w = -0.52571 kJ, ΔS = 0.876 J/K

Step 2

q = 0, w = ΔU = -7.5 kJ, ΔH = -5.00574 kJ

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

$P_i$ = 100 N·m

$T_i$ = 327 K

$P_f$ = 90 N·m

Step 1

For isothermal expansion, we have;

ΔU = ΔH = 0

w = n·R·T·ln( $P_f$ / $P_i$ ) = 1 × 8.314 × 600.15 × ln(90/100) = -525.71

w ≈ -0.52571 kJ

At state 1, q = w = -0.52571 kJ

ΔS = -n·R·ln( $P_f$ / $P_i$ ) = -1 × 8.314 × ln(90/100) ≈ 0.876

ΔS ≈ 0.876 J/K

Step 2

q = 0 for adiabatic process

ΔU = 25×(27 - 327) = -7,500

w = ΔU = -7.5 kJ

ΔH = ΔU + n·R·ΔT

ΔH = -7,500 + 8.3142 × 300 = -5,005.74

ΔH = ΔU = -5.00574 kJ
