A tank with volume of 2.4 cu ft is filled with Methane to a pressure of 1500 psia at 104 degrees F. Determine the molecular weig

Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.

PV = nRT

The given data is as follows.

Pressure, P = 1500 psia, Temperature, T = $104^{o}F$ = 104 + 460 = 564 R

Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft, R = 10.73 $psia ft^{3}/lb mol R$

Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.

n = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

m = $n \times W$

= $0.594 \times 16.04$

= 9.54 lb

Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.

We will calculate the density as follows.

d = $\frac{PM}{RT}$

= $\frac{1500 \times 16.04}{10.73 \times 564}$

= 3.975 $lb/ft^{3}$

Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.

Specific gravity relative to air = $\frac{\text{density of methane}}{\text{density of air}}$

= $\frac{3.975 lb/ft^{3}}{0.0765 lb/ft^{3}}$

= 51.96

Pyridoxine contains 11 hydrogen atoms, 8 carbon atoms, 3 oxygen atoms, and 1 nitrogen atom. what is the chemical formula for pyr

FinnZ [79.3K]

Pyridoxine contains 11 hydrogen atoms, 8 carbon atoms, 3 oxygen atoms, and 1 nitrogen atom. The chemical formula would be C8H11NO3. A chemical formula of a substance tells the number of atoms of the elements that is involved in the compound. Pyrodoxine is commonly known as vitamin B6. It is mostly found in food like meat, whole grains, nuts and avocados. Also, it is can be present in dietary supplements. It has a number of important functions in the body. Dietary supplements are manufactured to prevent vitamin B6 deficiency. Also, it is used in treating a specific type of anemia or the lack of red blood cells.

If you have access to stock solutions of 1.00 M H3PO4, 1.00 M of HCl, and 1.00 M NaOH solution, (and distilled water of course),

garri49 [273]

Answer:

0.10L of 1.00M of H₃PO₄ and 0.1613L of 1.00M NaOH

Explanation:

The pKa's of phosphoric acid are:

H₃PO₄/H₂PO₄⁻ = 2.1

H₂PO₄⁻/HPO₄²⁻ = 7.2

HPO₄²⁻/PO₄³⁻ = 12.0

To make a buffer with pH 9.40 we need to convert all H₃PO₄ to H₂PO₄⁻ and an amount of H₂PO₄⁻ to HPO₄²⁻

To have a 50mM solution of phosphoures we need:

2L * (0.050mol / L) = 0.10 moles of H₃PO₄

0.10 mol * (1L / mol) = 0.10L of 1.00M of H3PO4

To convert the H₃PO₄ to H₂PO₄⁻ and to HPO₄²⁻ must be added NaOH, thus:

H₃PO₄ + NaOH → H₂PO₄⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

H₂PO₄⁻ + NaOH → HPO₄²⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

Using H-H equation we can find the amount of NaOH added:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA] (1)

Where [A-] is conjugate base, HPO₄²⁻ and [HA] is weak acid, H₂PO₄⁻

pH = 7.40

pKa = 7.20

[A-] + [HA] = 0.10moles (2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

7.40 = 7.20 + log 0.10mol - [HA] / [HA]

0.2 = log 0.10mol - [HA] / [HA]

1.5849 = 0.10mol - [HA] / [HA]

1.5849 [HA] = 0.10mol - [HA]

2.5849[HA] = 0.10mol

[HA] = 0.0387 moles = H₂PO₄⁻ moles

That means moles of HPO₄²⁻ are 0.10mol - 0.0387moles = 0.0613 moles

The moles of NaOH needed to convert all H₃PO₄ in H₂PO₄⁻ are 0.10 moles

And moles needed to obtain 0.0613 moles of HPO₄²⁻ are 0.0613 moles

Total moles of NaOH are 0.1613moles * (1L / 1mol) = 0.1613L of 1.00M NaOH

Then, you need to dilute both solutions to 2.00L with distilled water.
