Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.93 \ mol \ CO_2}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles of carbon dioxide are in 85.0 grams.

Grams are converted to moles using the molar mass (the mass of 1 mole of a substance). These values are found on the Periodic Table. They are equal to the atomic mass, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up the molar masses of carbon and oxygen.

C: 12.011 g/mol
O: 15.999 g/mol

The formula CO₂ has a subscript of 2. There are 2 moles of oxygen in 1 mole of carbon dioxide. Multiply oxygen's molar mass by 2.

O₂: 15.999 g/mol * 2 =31.998 g/mol
CO₂= 12.011 + 31.998=44.009 g/mol

Set up a conversion factor using the molar mass.

$\frac {44.009 \ g \ CO_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CO_2}$

We are converting 85.0 grams of carbon dioxide to moles, so we multiply by this value.

$85.0 \ g \ CO_2 *\frac {44.009 \ g \ CO_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CO_2}$

Flip the fraction so the units of grams of carbon dioxide cancel.

$85.0 \ g \ CO_2 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ CO_2}{44.009 \ g \ CO_2}$

$85.0 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ CO_2}{44.009}$

$\frac {85.0}{44.009} \ mol \ CO_2$

$1.931423118 \ mol \ CO_2$

The original measurement of grams (85.0) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredth place. The 1 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 3.

$1.93 \ mol \ CO_2$

There are approximately <u>1.93 moles of carbon dioxide</u> in 85.0 grams.

Calculate the number of moles of O2 gas held in a sealed 2.00 L tank at 3.50 atm and 25 ℃.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$n=0.286mol$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we consider oxygen as an ideal gas, for that reason, we use yhe ideal gas equation to compute the moles based on:

$PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

Hence, at 3.50 atm and 25 °C for a volume of 2.00 L we compute the moles considering absolute temperature in Kelvins:

$n=\frac{3.50atm*2.00L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}(25+273)K} \\\\n=0.286mol$

Best regards.

Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air

Yanka [14]

Answer: a. 79.6 s

b. 44.3 s

c. 191 s

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{8.7\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}=79.6s$

b) for completion of 32% of reaction

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-32}$

$t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{68}$

$t=44.3s$

c) for completion of 81 % of reaction

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-81}$

$t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{19}$

$t=191s$

You are given a solid that is a mixture of na2so4 and k2so4.

Murljashka [212]

Here we have to calculate the amount of $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ion present in the sample.

In the sample solution 0.122g of $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ion is present.

The reaction happens on addition of excess BaCl₂ in a sample solution of potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄) and sodium sulfate [(Na)₂SO₄] can be written as-

K₂SO₄ = 2K⁺ + $SO_{4}^{2-}$

(Na)₂SO₄=2Na⁺ + $SO_{4}^{2-}$

Thus, BaCl₂+ $SO_{4}^{2-}$ = BaSO₄↓ + 2Cl⁻ .

(Na)₂SO₄ and K₂SO₄ is highly soluble in water and the precipitation or the filtrate is due to the BaSO₄ only. As a precipitation appears due to addition of excess BaCl₂ thus the total amount of $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ion is precipitated in this reaction.

The precipitate i.e. barium sulfate (BaSO₄)is formed in the reaction which have the mass 0.298g.

Now the molecular weight of BaSO₄ is 233.3 g/mol.

We know the molecular weight of sulfate ion ( $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ) is 96.06 g/mol. Thus in 1 mole of BaSO₄ 96.06 g of $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ion is present.

Or. we may write in 233.3 g of BaSO₄ 96.06 g of $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ion is present. So in 1 g of BaSO₄ $\frac{96.06}{233.3}=0.411$ g of $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ion is present.

Or, in 0.298 g of the filtered mass (0.298×0.411)=0.122g of $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ion is present.
