First, we need the no.of moles of O2 = mass/molar mass of O2
= 55 g / 32 g/mol
= 1.72 mol
from the balanced equation of the reaction:
2H2 (g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g)
we can see that the molar ratio between O2: H2O = 1: 2
So we can get the no.of moles of H2O = 2 * moles of O2
= 2 * 1.72 mol
= 3.44 mol
So by substitution by this value in ideal gas formula:
PV = nRT
when P = 12.4 atm & n H2O = 3.44 mol & R= 0.0821 & T = 85 + 273=358K
12.4 atm *V = 3.44 * 0.0821 * 358 = 8.15 L
∴ V ≈ 8.2 L
The early precambrian atmosphere consisted primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide with almost no oxygen.
<span>Today, the atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen, less carbon dioxide and similar amounts of nitrogen. </span>
<span>Photosynthetic green-leaf plants and trees are largely responsible for the change, converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.</span>
The forces between particles are called intermolecular forces. A strong intermolecular force means that the particles are tightly paced and is associated with the solid phase. Moderate intermolecular force is associated with the liquid state and little to no intermolecular force is associated with the gaseous state. Temperature has a direct effect on the state of matter in which the substance exists has. Generally speaking, a rise in tempreature changes a substance from the solid to liquid phase and from liquid to gaseus phase. The reverse is true, if the temperature lowers then the substance will go from gas to liquid and liquid to solid. It is important to not that temperature affects intermolecular forces. As the temperature increases then the individual particles become excited and gain enough energy to over the intermolecular forces and so the particles seperate from each other.
