Answer:

11.0 dm³

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

PV= nRT............... Equation 1

Where P = pressure of oxygen gas, V = volume of oxygen gas, n = number of moles of oxygen, R = molar constant, T = Temperature.

make V the subeject of the equation

V = nRT/P............. Equation 2

But,

Number of mole (n) = Mass of oxygen(m)/Molar mass of oxygen(m')

n = m/m'....................... Equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

V = mRT/Pm'............. Equation 4

Given: T = 28°C = (28+273) = 301 K, P = 0.998 torr = (0.998×0.00131579) = 1.3132 atm, m = 18.4 g

Constant: R = 0.082 atm.dm³/K.mol, m' = 32 g/mol.

Substitute these values into equation 4

V = (301×18.4×0.082)/(32×1.3132)

V = 454.1488/42.0224

V = 10.81 dm³

V = 11.0 dm³

What causes a substance to change states of matter?

Energy causes a substance to change states of matter. A matter needs energy to melt, evaporate, boil. Remember: Energy has a sudden change, but the temperature remains absolutely the same. An example of a change in energy is when ice is melting.

Hope I helped (:

Elemental Li and Na are prepared by electrolysis of a molten salt, whereas K, Rb, and Cs are prepared by chemical reduction.(c)

pishuonlain [190]

Calcium is used to isolate Rb from molten RbX because calcium has a smaller atomic radius than rubidium.

A chemical element's atomic radius, which is typically the average or typical distance between the nucleus's core and the outermost isolated electron, serves as a gauge for the size of an atom. There are numerous non-equivalent definitions of atomic radius since the border is not a clearly defined physical entity. Van der Waals radius, ionic radius, metallic radius, and covalent radius are the four most frequently used definitions of atomic radius. Atomic radii are typically measured in a chemically bound condition since it is challenging to isolated individual atoms in order to measure their radii individually.

Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

1. Number of moles, n

$n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol$

2. Mass

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.

With the kinetic energy of a sample increases the____ will also increase

klemol [59]

Answer:

Its Temperature.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. Potential energy on the other hand is the energy possessed by a body based on its position.
Kinetic energy of a body is determined by the equation; K.E = 3RT/2;
From the equation, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the system and therefore an increase in the kinetic energy of a sample causes an increase in temperature of the system.
