According to Avogadro's Law, same volume of any gas at standard temperature and pressure will occupy same volume. And one mole of any Ideal gas occupies 22.4 dm³ (1 dm³ = 1 L).
Data Given:
n = moles = ?
V = Volume = 16.8 L
Solution:
As 22.4 L volume is occupied by one mole of gas then the 16.8 L of this gas will contain....
= ( 1 mole × 16.8 L) ÷ 22.4 L
= 0.75 moles
Result:
16.8 L of Nitrogen gas will contain 0.75 moles at standard temperature and pressure.
Answer:
see notes below
Explanation:
The mole is the mass of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number of particles. That is, 1 mole substance = 1 formula weight. For elements, 1 mole weight is equal to the atomic weight expressed as grams. For molecules, 1 mole weight is equal to the molecular weight expressed as grams.
1 mole = 1 formula weight
<u>Moles to Grams and Grams to Moles</u>
Grams => Moles
Given grams, moles = mass given / formula weight
*Ask the question => How many formula weights are there in the given mass? => Results is always moles.
Moles => Grams
Given moles, grams = moles given X formula weight
*Summary
Grams to Moles => divide by formula weight
Moles to Grams => multiply by formula weight
We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
.. .. ..
H - O - F - O:
·· ·· ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:
Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]
H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0
O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0
F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1
O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1
As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.
