Now they feel it is best to have you identify an unknown gas based on its properties. Suppose 0.508 g of a gas occupies a volume

pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

mass = 0.508 g, Volume = 0.175 L

Temperature = (25 + 273) K = 298 K, P = 1 atm

As per the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.

where, n = no. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

Hence, putting all the given values into the ideal gas equation as follows.

PV = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}} \times RT$

1 atm \times 0.175 L = $\frac{0.508 g}{\text{molar mass}} \times 0.0821 L atm/ K mol \times 298 K$

= 71.02 g

As the molar mass of a chlorine atom is 35.4 g/mol and it exists as a gas. So, molar mass of $Cl_{2}$ is 70.8 g/mol or 71 g/mol (approx).

Thus, we can conclude that the gas is most likely chlorine.

A 825 g iron block is heated to 352 degrees C and is placed in an insulated container (of negligible heat capacity) containing 4

Stella [2.4K]

Answer : The final equilibrium temperature of the water and iron is, 537.12 K

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of iron = 560 J/(kg.K)

$c_1$ = specific heat of water = 4186 J/(kg.K)

$m_1$ = mass of iron = 825 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 40 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of water and iron = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of iron = $352^oC=273+352=625K$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $20^oC=273+20=293K$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$(825\times 10^{-3}kg)\times 560J/(kg.K)\times (T_f-625K)=-(40\times 10^{-3}kg)\times 4186J/(kg.K)\times (T_f-293K)$

$T_f=537.12K$

Therefore, the final equilibrium temperature of the water and iron is, 537.12 K

∆G° for the process benzene (l) benzene (g) is 3.7 Kj/mol at 60 °C , calculate the vapor pressure of benzene at 60 °C [R=0.0821

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

4) 0.26 atm

Explanation:

In the process:

Benzene(l) → Benzene(g)

ΔG° for this process is:

ΔG° = -RT ln Q

<em>Where Q = P(Benzene(g)) / P°benzene(l) P° = 1atm</em>

ΔG° = 3700J/mol = -8.314J/molK * (60°C + 273.15) ln P(benzene) / 1atm

1.336 = ln P(benzene) / 1atm

0.26atm = P(benzene)

Read the given expression. X = number of protons − number of core electrons Which of the following explains the identity of X an

shepuryov [24]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that:

X = number of protons − number of core electrons

Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.

The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

$Z^*=Z-\sigma$

where,

$Z^*$ = effective nuclear charge

Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons

$\sigma$ = Screening constant

The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.

Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.
