The length of time required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay is its <span>half-life. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". The other choices are incorrect and can be easily neglected. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your help.</span>
Answer:
Option B. 4 moles of the gaseous product
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Initial volume (V1) = V
Initial number of mole (n1) = 2 moles
Final volume (V2) = 2V
Final number of mole (n2) =..?
Applying the Avogadro's law equation, we can obtain the number of mole of the gaseous product as follow:
V1/n1 = V2/n2
V/2 = 2V/n2
Cross multiply
V x n2 = 2 x 2V
Divide both side by V
n2 = (2 x 2V)/V
n2 = 2 x 2
n2 = 4 moles
Therefore, 4 moles of the gaseous product were produced.
One thing to notice in the question is, we are asked about molecular oxygen that has formula O2 not atomic oxygen O.
As we are asked about molecular oxygen, we will answer the question in terms of number of molecules that are present in 16 grams of molecular oxygen.
To get the number of molecules present in 16 grams of O2, we will use the formula:
No. of molecules = no. of moles x Avogadro's number (NA)----- eq 1)
As we know:
The number of moles = mass/ molar mass of molecule
Here we have been given mass already, 16 grams and the molar mass of O2 is 32 grams.
Putting the values in above formula:
= 16/32
= 0.5 moles
Putting the number of moles and Avogadro's number (6.02 * 10^23) in eq 1
No. of molecules = 0.5 x 6.02 * 10^23
=3.01 x 10^23 molecules
or 301,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules
This means that 16 grams of 3.01 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen.
Hope it helps!
