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 is the final pressure (expressed in atm) of a 3.05 L system initially at 724 mm Hg and 298 K, that is compressed to a final
maksim [4K]

Hey there!:

V1 = 3.05 L

V2 = 3.00 L

P1 = 724 mmHg

P2 = to be calculated

T1 = 298 K

T2 = 273 K

Therefore:

P1*V1  / T1  = P2*V2 / T2

P2 = ( P1*V1 / T1  )   * T2 / V2

P2 = 724 * 3.05 * 273 / 298 * 3.00

P2 = 602838.6 / 894

P2 = 674.31 mmHg

1 atm ----------- 760 mmHg

atm ------------- 674.31 mHg

= 674.31 * 1 / 760

= 0.887 atm

Hope this helps!

The temperature of a 10.0 L sample of nitrogen in a sealed container is increased from 22°C to 202°C, while its pressure is incr
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The new volume is 5.37 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Initial volume = 10.0 L

Initial temperature = 22.0 °C

Initial pressure = 1.00 atm

Final temperature = 202 °C

Final pressure = 3.00 atm

Step 2: Calculate final volume

(P1*V1)/T1  = (P2*V2)/T2

⇒ with P1 = The initial pressure = 1.00 atm

⇒ with V1 = The initial volume = 10.0 L

⇒ with T1 = The initial temperature = 22 °C = 295 Kelvin

⇒ with  P2 = The final pressure = 3.00 atm

⇒ with V2 = The final volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with T2 = The final temperature = 202 °C = 475 Kelvin

(1.00 * 10.0) / 295 = (3.00 * V2) / 475

10 / 295 = 3V2/ 475

3V2 = 4750/295

V2 = 5.37 L

The new volume is 5.37 L

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

B. It showed that microorganisms bring about chemical changes

Explanation:

In 1857 Pasteur was working to solve a problem with the distillers of Lille in wich in their barrels the alcoholic fermentation become in a  lactic fermentation, and of course, that was something that they didn't want. Throughout diferents studyes Pasteur discover that different microorganism where involved directly (where responsible) in different types of fermentation. That was the key to start the microbiology studies worldwide.
