Answer:

a. ((100 - 35)/100) times 5.5 grams = 3.575 g

Explanation:

Given that:

The sample of carbon and oxygen = 5.5g

where carbon makes 35% of the mass of the substances.

It implies that oxygen will make: (100 - 35)% = 65%

Suppose y be the mass of the oxygen;

Then:

y = \dfrac{(100-35)}{100} \times 5.5 \ g

y = \dfrac{(65)} {100} \times 5.5 \ g

y = 3.575 \ g

The mass of carbon = \dfrac{35}{100} \times 5.5 \ g

= 1.925 g

An unsaturated solution is formed when 80 grams of a salt is dissolved in 100 grams of water at 40. This salt could be ?
LekaFEV [45]
A simple way to go about this is that we look at the solubility curve, on the x axis we first look at the temperature and then the corresponding value of solute/100g H2O on the y axis, from the 4 curves above only NaNO3 has a curve that can accommodate  80g of salt at 40 without being Saturated since at 40 degrees it can accommodate 105g of salt to become completely Saturated.

Please show some work For the reaction: NO(g) + 1/2 O2(g) → NO2(g) ΔH°rxn is -114.14 kJ/mol. Calculate ΔH°f of gaseous nitrogen
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

148.04 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

NO(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) → NO₂(g)      ΔH°rxn = -114.14 kJ/mol

We can find the standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH°f) of NO(g) using the following expression.

ΔH°rxn = 1 mol × ΔH°f(NO₂(g)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(NO(g)) - 1/2 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g))

ΔH°f(NO(g)) = 1 mol × ΔH°f(NO₂(g)) - ΔH°rxn - 1/2 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g)) / 1 mol

ΔH°f(NO(g)) = 1 mol × 33.90 kJ/mol - (-114.14 kJ) - 1/2 mol × 0 kJ/mol / 1 mol

ΔH°f(NO(g)) = 148.04 kJ/mol

What is the ideal gas law
dlinn [17]

Answer: Gases are complicated. They're full of billions and billions of energetic gas molecules that can collide and possibly interact with each other. Since it's hard to exactly describe a real gas, people created the concept of an Ideal gas as an approximation that helps us model and predict the behavior of real gases. The term ideal gas refers to a hypothetical gas composed of molecules which follow a few rules:

Ideal gas molecules do not attract or repel each other. The only interaction between ideal gas molecules would be an elastic collision upon impact with each other or an elastic collision with the walls of the container. [What is an elastic collision?]

Ideal gas molecules themselves take up no volume. The gas takes up volume since the molecules expand into a large region of space, but the Ideal gas molecules are approximated as point particles that have no volume in and of themselves.

If this sounds too ideal to be true, you're right. There are no gases that are exactly ideal, but there are plenty of gases that are close enough that the concept of an ideal gas is an extremely useful approximation for many situations. In fact, for temperatures near room temperature and pressures near atmospheric pressure, many of the gases we care about are very nearly ideal.

If the pressure of the gas is too large (e.g. hundreds of times larger than atmospheric pressure), or the temperature is too low (e.g.

C

−200 Cminus, 200, start text, space, C, end text) there can be significant deviations from the ideal gas law.
