Answer:

M = 20.5 g/mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 1.20 L

Mass of gas = 1.10 g

Temperature and pressure = standard

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the density.

Formula:

d = mass/ volume

d = 1.10 g/ 1.20 L

d = 0.92 g/L

Now we will calculate the molar mass.

d = PM/RT

0.92 g/L = 1 atm × M / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×273.15 K

M = 0.92 g/L × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×273.15 K / 1 atm

M = 20.5 g/mol

What is the mass of a 2.5 mole sample of MgO2

MrRa [10]

Mass = no. of moles x molecular weight
m = n x Mr
m = 2.5 mol x (24 + [16 x 2])
m = 140g

How many mols are present in the a sample of silver nitrate which has<br> 5.3x10^24 molecules.

Westkost [7]

Answer: 5.3 x 10^24 formula units of silver nitrate is equivalent to 8.8 moles of silver nitrate. Silver nitrate is an ionic compound, therefore, its representative particle is called a "formula unit" instead of molecule. For every mole of a substance, we know that there are 6.022 x 10^23 representative units of that substance. The amount of particles in one mole of substance is called Avogadro's number.

Further Explanation:

We can convert from number of representative particles to moles using the formula:

$\boxed {no. \ of \ moles \ = \ ( given \ no. \ of \ particles) \ (\frac{1 \ mole}{\ 6.022 \ x 10^{23} particles})}$

For this problem, we can calculate the number of moles by plugging in the given values to the equation above,

$no. \ of \ moles \ = (5.3 \ x \ 10^{24} \ formula \ units \ AgNO_{3}) \ (\frac{1 \ mole \ AgNO_{3}}{6.022 \ x 10^{23} \ formula \ units AgNO_{3}}) \\\\\boxed {no. \ of moles \ AgNO_{3} \ = \ 8.8 \ moles}$
