Answer:
547 L of water vapour
Explanation:
Equation of reaction: 2[CaSO4.2H20] + Heat ---> 2[CaSO4.½H2O] + 3H20
From the equation of reaction above, 2 moles of gypsum when heated produces 2 moles of plaster of Paris and 3 moles of water vapour.
Molar mass of gypsum = 172 g/mol
Molar mass of H2O = 18 g/mol
Therefore, 2 * 172 g of gypsum produces 3 * 18 g of water vapour
i.e. 344 g of gypsum produces 54 g of H2O
2 Kg(2000 g) of gypsum will produce (54 * 2000)/344 g of water vapour = 313.95 of water vapour.
Volume of water vapour produced = mass/density
Volume of water vapour = 313.95 g/ 0.574 g/L = 547 L of water vapour
Therefore 547 L of water vapour are produced
Answer:
<em>Protons:
</em>
- Positively charged particle
- The number of these is the atomic number
- All atoms of a given element have the same number of these
<em>Neutrons: </em>
- Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these
- The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons
Explanation:
Protons (<em>positively charged</em>), neutrons (<em>neutral</em>) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles. The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.
The <em>Atomic number</em> (Z) indicates the number of protons (
) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the <em>same atomic number</em>, thus the <em>same number of protons</em>.
The <em>mass number </em>(A) is the sum of the <em>number of protons</em> (
) <em>and neutrons</em> (N) that are present in the nucleus: <em>A= Z + N</em>
<em>Isotopes</em> are atoms of the <em>same element </em>which nucleus have the <em>same atomic number</em> (Z), and <em>different mass number (A)</em>, it means the <em>same number of protons</em> (
) and a <em>different number of neutrons</em> (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:
99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8
0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9
0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10
Answer: Option B. 76.83L
Explanation:
1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp. This implies that 1mole of Radon also occupy 22.4L at stp.
If 1 mole of Radon = 22.4L
Therefore, 3.43 moles of Radon = 3.43 x 22.4 = 76.83L
Answer:
Explanation:
This is a direct application of the equation for ideal gases.
Where:
- P = pressure = 1.25 atm
- V = volume = 25.2 liter
- R = Universal constant of gases = 0.08206 atm-liter/K-mol
- T = absolute temperature = 25.0ºC = 25 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K
- n = number of moles
Solving for n:
Substituting:
