An ionic compound is composed of a cation(a positive ion) and a anion(negative ion). When + and - interact with each other, the overall charge is neutral since neither of the ion outweighs the other in terms of positivity or negativity. Hence, the overall charge of an ionic compound is neutral.

5.60 g of an unknown gas at STP fills a 500 mL flask. What is the molar mass of the gas

ale4655 [162]

Hey there!

From ideal gas equation we know, PV = nRT

All the terms have their usual significance.

PV =w/M * RT

( where , n is number of moles = w/M, we = weight of gas, M = molecular weight of the gas)

Therefore, PV = wRT/M

At standard conditions , value of pressure, P = 1atm and standard temperature, T = 273K

And value of universal gas constant, R = 0.082 lit. atm. K⁻¹.mol⁻¹

Given that, weight of gas,

w = 5.60g and volume of gas,

V = 500mL = 0.5 Liters

Therefore, substituting all the value, we get :

Molar mass = 5.60 * 0.082 * 273 / 1 * 0.5

Molar mass = 250.7232 g/mole

Which of these activities might involve a chemist?

goldfiish [28.3K]

B - A chemist might determine the fat content in a candy bar.

1) Fatty acids stored in candy bars are (in fact) composed of chemical substances.

2) Choice A makes no sense. This activity belongs in the Biology field. Or if you're an animal activist, you might be interested in undertaking this as a hobby.

3) Choice C is absurd because either you're a Physicist who enjoys an occupation such as this, or you're just plain crazy.

4) Choice D is preposterous because either you're a Meteorologist, or a Geoscientist. Both of which have nothing to do with chemistry.

The molecules which evaporate into the gas phase are the ones traveling with ________ velocity.

sveticcg [70]

The appropriate response is high. The best approach to consider it is those molecules have more vitality than the normal and it is unequivocally those higher enthusiastic ones that have enough vitality to break the intra-molecular forces and leave. By the way this is the reason when we sweat we chill off - the most enthusiastic molecules vanish diverting warmth.
