What determines which element an atom is ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
TiliK225 [7]3 years ago
3 0

The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons that it contains. In other words, the number of neutrons in any atom is its mass number minus its atomic number.

A gas has a volume of 300 mL in a rigid container at 50oC and 1.75 atm. What will be its pressure at 100K?
eduard

Answer:

Its pressure will be 0.54 atm at 100 K.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that, as long as the volume of the container containing the gas is constant, as the temperature increases, the gas molecules move faster. Then the number of collisions with the walls increases, that is, the pressure increases. That is, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as the quotient between pressure and temperature equal to a constant:

\frac{P}{T} =k

Studying two different states, an initial state 1 and a final state 2, it is satisfied:

\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}

In this case:

  • P1= 1.75 atm
  • T1= 50 °C= 323 K (being 0 C=273 K)
  • P2= ?
  • T2= 100 K

Replacing:

\frac{1.75 atm}{323 K} =\frac{P2}{100 K}

Solving:

P2= 100 k*\frac{1.75 atm}{323 K}

P2= 0.54 atm

<u><em>Its pressure will be 0.54 atm at 100 K.</em></u>

How many milliliters of 2.19 M H2SO4 are required to react with 4.75 g of solid containing 21.6 wt% Ba(NO3)2 if the reaction is
Setler [38]

Answer:

1.7927 mL

Explanation:

The mass of solid taken = 4.75 g

This solid contains 21.6 wt% Ba(NO_3)_2, thus,

Mass of Ba(NO_3)_2 = \frac {21.6}{100}\times 4.75\ g = 1.026 g

Molar mass of Ba(NO_3)_2 = 261.337 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{1.026\ g}{261.337\ g/mol}

Moles= 0.003926\ mol

Considering the reaction as:

Ba(NO_3)_2+H_2SO_4\rightarrow BaSO_4+2HNO_3

1 moles of Ba(NO_3)_2 react with 1 mole of H_2SO_4

Thus,

0.003926 mole of Ba(NO_3)_2 react with 0.003926 mole of H_2SO_4

Moles of H_2SO_4 = 0.003926 mole

Also, considering:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Molarity = 2.19 M

So,

2.19=\frac{0.003926}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution(L)}

Volume = 0.0017927 L

Also, 1 L = 1000 mL

<u>So, volume = 1.7927 mL</u>

and that the reaction produced

of sodium chloride. Convert this to moles by using the compound's molar mass

234

g

⋅

1 mole NaCl

58.44

=

4.004 moles NaCl

Now, you know that the sample of sodium metal reacted completely, which implies that it was completely consumed by the reaction.

In other words, you don't have to worry about the sample of chlorine gas because the fact that sample of sodium metal was completely consumed lets you know that the chlorine gas is not a limiting reagent.

This means that the reaction consumed

Ethanol is added to gasoline to produce E-15 and E-85. It promotes more complete combustion of the gasoline and is an octane boo
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

2,2,4-trimethylpentane has the higher heat of combustion in kcal/mol.

Explanation:

Heat of combustion is defined as heat evolved on combustion of 1 mole of a substance.

2,2,4-trimethylpentane has the higher heat of combustion in kcal/mol.

Heat combustion of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane =  (1304 kcal/mol) and

C_8H_{18}+\frac{25}{2}O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+9H_2O,\Delta H=-1,304 kcal/mol

1 mole of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane on combustion gives 8 mole sof carbon dioxide gas and 9 moles of water.

Heat combustion of ethanol = (327 kcal/mol)

C_2H_5OH+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O,\Delta H=-327kcal/mol

1 mole of ethanol on combustion gives 2 moles of carbon dioxide gas and 3 mole of water.

Heat combustion of ethanol < Heat combustion of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane

When balancing a chemical equation:
PolarNik [594]

Answer: There must be the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.

Explanation: This is the only way the equations will be balanced. Adding the coefficients to see if they are equal will not guarantee that the equations are balanced becuase coefficients can be turned into subscripts.
