How many molecules of XeF6 are formed from 12.9 L of F2 (at 298 K and 2.6 atm) according to 11) the following reaction? Assume t
ddd [48]

Answer:

#Molecules XeF₆ = 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.

Explanation:

Given … Excess Xe + 12.9L F₂ @298K & 2.6Atm => ? molecules XeF₆

1. Convert 12.9L 298K & 2.6Atm to STP conditions so 22.4L/mole can be used to determine moles of F₂ used.

=> V(F₂ @ STP) = 12.6L(273K/298K)(2.6Atm/1.0Atm) = 30.7L F₂ @ STP

2. Calculate moles of F₂ used

=> moles F₂ = 30.7L/22.4L/mole = 1.372 mole F₂ used

3. Calculate moles of XeF₆ produced from reaction ratios …

Xe + 3F₂ => XeF₆ => moles of XeF₆ = ⅓(moles F₂) = ⅓(1.372) moles XeF₆ = 0.4572 mole XeF₆

4. Calculate number molecules XeF₆ by multiplying by Avogadro’s Number  (6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)

=> #Molecules XeF₆ = 0.4572mole(6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)

                                  = 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.

15 grams of sodium reacts with a certain amount of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride, as shown below.
ale4655 [162]

Answer: 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is one in which two or more than two elements combine together to forma single product.

Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl

The atoms present in the reactants are found on the product side. According to the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms on both sides of the arrow must be same as the total mass must be conserved.

15 grams of sodium reacts with 22 grams of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride. Thus 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction.

A piece of copper has a volume of 100.0cm^3 (3power) if the mass of the copper is 890g, what is the density of copper??
Bas_tet [7]
Density=mass/volume
Data:
mass=890 g
volume=100 cm³

Density=890 g/100 cm³=8.9 g/cm³

answer: the density of the copper is 8.9 g/cm³
