Answer:

Gas is easier to compress than solid

Explanation:

Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

It is gas because they vibrate and move freely at high speed.

Correct me if I’m wrong

What is the % yield when 12g of Mg react with HCl to produce 0.2g of H2?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The yield is 20 %.

Explanation:

Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl2 + H2

(12 g Mg) / (24.30506 g Mg/mol) x (1 mol H2 / 1 mol Mg) x (2.015894 g H2/mol) = 0.9953 g H2.

(0.2 g) / (0.9953 g) = 0.20 = 20% yield

A gas has a volume of 1.8Lat−26◦Cand 147 kPa. At what temperature would the gas occupy 1.33 L at 217 kPa?

miss Akunina [59]

Answer: At temperature of 269 K the gas would occupy 1.33 L at 217 kPa

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 147 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 217 kPa

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 1.8 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 1.33 L

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $-26^oC=273-26=247K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{147kPa\times 1.8L}{247K}=\frac{217kPa\times 1.33L}{T_1}$

$T_2=269K$

Thus at 269 K temperature the gas would occupy 1.33 L at 217 kPa

Calculate the number of particles in 8grams of oxygen molecule

lana [24]

Moles of oxygen = mass/molar mass of O2 = 8/31.998 = 0.25 moles.

Number of particles = moles x 6.02 x 10^23 = 0.25 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.505 x 10^23 particles.

Hope this helps!
