From the information provided in the question, the mass of gold that can be obtained from this sample is 31.5 g of Au.

Given that the reduction of gold III occurs thus;

Au^3+(aq) + 3e ------> Au(s)

Number of moles of gold(III) chloride dihydrate = mass/molar mass = 54.9 g /339.35 g/mol = 0.16 moles

Number of moles of Au^3+ in  AuCl3.2H20 =  0.16 moles

Now;

1 mole of Au has a mass of 197 g/mol

0.16 moles of Au has a mass of 0.16 moles ×  197 g/mol/1 mole

= 31.5 g of Au.

The mass of gold that can be obtained from this sample is 31.5 g of Au.

What volume will 0.405 g of krypton gas occupy at STP?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V = 0.108 L or 108 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume = ?

mass = 0.405 g

Temperature = 273°K

Pressure = 1 atm

Process

1.- Convert mass of Kr to moles

                  83.8 g of Kr -------------------- 1 mol

                     0.405 g     -------------------  x

                     x = (0.405 x 1) / 83.8

                     x = 0.0048 moles

2.- Use the Ideal gas law to solve this problem

                   PV = nRT

- Solve for V

                      V = nRT / P

- Substitution

                      V = (0.0048)(0.082)(273) / 1

- Simplification

                       V = 0.108 / 1

- Result

                       V = 0.108 L
