First convert the amount of grams you have of each substance to moles. Find your limiting reactant by calculating how many grams are needed to complete this reaction. If done correctly, you would see that we need .226 moles of Potassium to complete this reaction. However, we only have .118 moles of Potassium, so K must be our limiting reactant. Then use the moles of K to find out how many moles of K^2S are made. Then convert the amount of moles of K^2S to grams and you should get 10.3 g K^2S

What type(s) of intermolecular forces are expected between nocl molecules?
mina [271]
If you draw or search for the molecular geometry of NOCl, you would know that it has a bent shape. This bent shape is a characteristic of a polar molecule. The dominant intermolecular forces for polar compounds is the <em>dipole-dipole force</em>.

A chemist prepares a sample of helium gas at a certain pressure, temperature and volume and then removes all but a fourth of the
Stells [14]

Answer:

e. T₂= 4T₁

Explanation:

Initially, we have a number of moles (n₁) a gas sample at a certain pressure (P), temperature (T₁) and volume (V). We can relate these variables through the ideal gas equation.

P . V = n₁ . R . T₁

where,

R is the ideal gas constant

We can rearrange this equation like:

T_{1}=\frac{P.V}{n_{1}.R}

If only one fourth of the initial molecules remain n₂ = 1/4 n₁. The new temperature (T₂) assuming pressure and temperature remain constant is:

P.V=n_{2}.R.T_{2}=\frac{1}{4} n_{1}.R.T_{2}\\\frac{P.V}{n_{1}.R} =\frac{1}{4} T_{2}\\T_{1}=\frac{1}{4} T_{2}\\T_{2}=4.T_{1}

Answer:

Rubber, or another insulator.

Explanation:

I'm not sure what the options are, but Sue would probably want an insulator so that the heat is trapped, keeping her hands cool.

The gauge pressure inside a vessel is ‐40kPa, at an elevation of 5000m. a) What is the absolute pressure? b) At this elevation,
hoa [83]

Answer:

a) Pabs = 48960 KPa

b) T = 433.332 °C

Explanation:

  • Pabs = Pgauge + d*g* h

∴ d = 1000 Kg/m³

∴ g = 9.8 m/s²

∴ h = 5000 m

∴ P gauge = - 40 KPa * ( 1000 Pa / KPa ) = - 40000 Pa; Pa≡Kg/m*s²

⇒ Pabs = - 40000 Kg/ms² + ( 1000 Kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² * 5000 m )

⇒ Pabs = 48960000 Pa = 48960 KPa

a) at that height and pressure, we find the temperature at which the water boils by means of an almost-exponential graph which has the following equation:

P(T) = 0.61094 exp ( 17.625*T / ( T + 243.04 ))......P (KPa) ∧ T (°C)....from literature

∴ P = 48960 KPa

⇒ ( 48960 KPa / 0.61094 ) = exp ( 17.625T / (T+ 243.04))

⇒ 80138.803 = exp ( 17.625T / ( T + 243.04))

⇒ Ln ( 80138.803) = 17.625T / ( T + 243.04))

⇒ 11.292 * ( T + 243.04 ) = 17.625T

⇒ 11.292T + 2744.289 = 17.625T

⇒ 2744.289 = 17.625T - 11.292T

⇒ 2744.289 = 6.333T

⇒ T = 433.332 °C
