Answer:

20.82% is the mass percent of oxygen in the compound.

Explanation:

Total mass of the compound = 143.1 g

Mass of carbon = 53.4 g

Mass of hydrogen = 16.9 g

Mass of nitrogen= 43 g

Mass of oxygen= x

143.1 g = x + 53.4 g + 16.9 g + 43 g

x = 143.1 g - 53.4 g - 16.9 g - 43 g = 29.8 g

Percentage of oxygen in the compound:

\%=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100

\%=\frac{29.8 g}{143.1 g}\times 100=20.82\%

20.82% is the mass percent of oxygen in the compound.

In a separate experiment beginning from the same initial conditions, including a temperature Ti of 25.0°C, half the number of mo
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

- 178 ºC

Explanation:

The  ideal gas law   states that :

PV = nRT,

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is number of moles , R is the gas constant and T is the absolute temperature.

For the initial conditions :

P₁ V₁ = n₁ R T₁    (1)

and for the final conditions:

P₂V₂= n₂ R T₂    where   n₂ = n₁/2     then    P₂ V₂ = n₁/2 T₂    (2)

Assuming V₂ = V₁ and  dividing (2) by Eqn (1) :

P₂ V₂ = n₁/2 R T₂  / ( n₁ R T₁)      then  P₂ / P₁ = 1/2 T₂ / T₁

4.10 atm / 25.7 atm = 1/2 T₂ / 298 K ⇒ T₂ = 0.16 x 298 x 2 = 95.1 K

T₂ = 95 - 273 = - 178 º C
