1.267 x 10 ^ 24 is the total number of atoms
Use the PV = nRT equation T is in Kelvins = 31 + 273 = 304 K
P(0.5) = (2.91)(0.0821)(304)
P(0.5) = 72.6289
P = 145.25 atm or 1.45x10^2 atm
Answer: The factor that lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloalkanes is the presence of a RING STRAIN.
Explanation:
In organic chemistry, the end carbon atoms of an open aliphatic chain can join together to form a closed system or ring to form cycloalkanes. Such compounds are known as cyclic compounds. Examples include cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane and many among others.
Cyclopropane is less stable than other cycloalkanes mentioned above because of the presence of ring strain in its structural arrangement. The ring strain is the spatial orientation of atoms of the cycloalkane compounds which tend to give off a very high and non favourable energy. The release of heat energy which is stored in the bonds and molecules cause the ring to be UNSTABLE and REACTIVE.
The presence of the ring strain affects mainly the structures and the conformational function of the smaller cycloalkanes. cyclopropane, which is the smallest cycloalkane than the rest mentioned above, contains only 3 carbons with a small ring.
The balanced equation for the formation of ammonia is as follows
N₂ + 3H₂ ---> 2NH₃
stoichiometry of N₂ to H₂ is 1:3
we need to find the moles of N₂, volume of N₂ has been given
molar volume is where 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L at STP.
if 22.4 L is occupied by 1 mol
then 3.5 L of gas is occupied by - 3.5 L / 22.4 L/mol = 0.16 mol
number of moles of N₂ present - 0.16 mol
1 mol of N₂ requires 3 mol of H₂
therefore 0.16 mol of N₂ requires - 3 x 0.16 = 0.48 mol of H₂
mass of H₂ required - 0.48 mol x 2 g/mol = 0.96 g
0.96 g of H₂ is required
