34. Explain how dimensional analysis is used to solve problems.

Chemistry

Answer: By understanding conversion factors and how they are related to each other

Explanation:

Dimensional Analysis is a step by step approach to solving problems in Physics, Chemistry , and Mathematics. It involves having a clear knowledge and understanding to be able to convert a given unit to another in the same dimension using  conversion factors and knowing how they are related to each other.

For instance, In Chemistry, we want to Convert 120mL to L.(note that ml stands for millilitres and ;L stands for litres)

Or first approach will be to write out the conversion factor related to our problem which is

1000ml =1L

such that 120ml = (we cross multiply))

giving us  120ml x 1L/1000ml =0.12L

This same process is applied to convert any type of dimensional analysis problems be it physics or mathematics.

Answer:

1.18x10⁸L of SO₂ and 2.36x10⁸L of H₂S

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

8SO₂(g) + 16H₂S(g) → 16H₂O(l) + 3S₈(s)

To solve this question we must find the moles of S₈ in 4.50x10⁵kg. With these moles and the reaction we can find the moles of SO₂ needed to react (Twice these moles = Moles Of H₂S needed). Using PV = nRT we can find the volume of the gas required:

<em>Moles S₈ - molar mass: 256.52g/mol-</em>

4.50x10⁵kg = 4.50x10⁸g * (1mol / 256.52g) =

1.75x10⁶ moles S₈

<em>Moles SO₂:</em>

1.75x10⁶ moles S₈ * (8mol SO₂ / 3mol S₈) = 4.68x10⁶ moles SO₂

<em>Moles H₂S:</em>

4.68x10⁶ moles SO₂ * 2 = 9.36x10⁶ moles H₂S

The volume could be obtained as follows:

PV = nRT

V = nRT / P

<em>V is volume in liters</em>

<em>n are moles: 4.68x10⁶ moles SO₂ and 9.36x10⁶ moles H₂S</em>

<em>R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature = 22°C + 273.15 = 295.15K</em>

<em>P is pressure = 0.961atm</em>

<em />

Replacing:

Volume SO₂ and H₂S:

4.68x10⁶ moles * 0.082atmL/molK * 295.15K / 0.961atm =

<h3>1.18x10⁸L of SO₂ and:</h3>

<em>9.36x10⁶ moles H₂S</em> * 0.082atmL/molK * 295.15K / 0.961atm =

<h3>2.36x10⁸L of H₂S</h3>

PF3Br2 is a nonpolar molecule. Based on this information, determine the F−P−F bond angle, the Br−P−Br bond angle, and the F−P−Br
inna [77]

Answer:

120,180,90.

Explanation:

PF3Br2 has a trigonal bypiramidal geometry. The three atoms of F will be arranged around the P atom in the same plane and each F-P-F bond will have an angle of 120 degrees. There will be only one Br atom above and beneath the P atom so the bond angle for Br-P-Br will be 180 degrees. Finally, the F−P−Br bond angle will be at 90 degrees.
