For many purposes we can treat butane C H10) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of - 1. °C. Suppose the pressure on a 500 mL sample of butane gas at 41.0°C is cut in half. Iyes Is it possible to change the temperature of the butane at the same time such that the volume of the gas doesn't change? yes no If you answered yes, calculate the new temperature of the gas. Round your answer to the nearest °C.

Explanation:

A. According to the pressure law of gases,for a fixed mass of gas the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature once the volume is kept constant. This means that a change in temperature can bring about a change in pressurein a gas at constant volume.

B. From the pressure law of gasese: P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where initial pressure = P1, final pressure = P2

Initial temperature = T1, final temperature = T2

For the butane gas;

P1 = P

P2 = P/2

T1 = 41°C = (273 + 41 ) K = 314 K

T2 = ?

From the equation, T2 = T1 × P2 / P1

T2 = 314 × P/2 /P

T2 = 157 K

T2 = (157 - 273) °C = -116 °C

Therefore, the new temperature of the gas is -116 °C

Answers

Answer:

New volume = 2.03 L

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature, T₁ = 25°C = 298 K

Initial volume, V₁ = 2L

Final temperature, T₂ = 30°C = 303 K

We need to find the final volume. The mathematical form of Charle's law is given by :

[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{V_1T_2}{T_1}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]V_2=\dfrac{2\times 303}{298}\\\\V_2=2.03\ L[/tex]

so, the new volume is equal to 2.03 L.

Determine la temperatura Kelvin de 2.49 moles de gas contenido en un

Answers

La temperatura del gas contenido en el recipiente es de -259,35 ° C
Explicación:
Para encontrar la unidad de grados en Celsius (° C) en este caso, se usa la ecuación de la ley de los gases ideales.
PV = nRT
Donde P es la presión, V es el volumen, T es la temperatura, n es el número de moles y R es la constante universal de los gases.
P = 143 kPa = 1,4113 atmósferas
V = 2,00 L
n = 2,49 mol
R = 0.08205746 atm * L / mol * K
Resolver para T sería: PV / nR
T = (1.4113 atm * 2.00 L) / (2.49 mol * 0.08205746 atm * L / mol * K)
T = 2,8226 / 0,2043
T = 13,8 K = -259,35 ° C

Submit Answer

Answers

Answer:

2. Hydrogen Bonds

Explanation:

Since water is a polar covalent molecule, there is a slight negative and positive end. Due to this, the oxygen end of one water molecule gravitates towards the hydrogen molecules of another water molecule. This accounts for a bunch of weird properties of water, like why ice floats. It's also what makes water the "universal solvent," and gives all life on earth the ability to even exist.

The primary forces of attraction between water molecules in H₂O (I) are hydrogen bonds.

What kind of chemical bonding is present in water molecule?

Hydrogen bonding is present in water molecule due to which it exhibits an excellent property of adhesion to itself and to other substances.The hydrogen bonding is a result of electrostatic forces of attraction which are generated by the difference in charge between slightly positive hydrogen ions and slightly negative other ions.

In case of water,hydrogen bonds are formed  between neighboring  hydrogen and oxygen atoms  of the nearby water molecules.The attraction between water molecules itself results in a formation of a bond called as a hydrogen bond.  

It is a type of covalent bond which is formed  between hydrogen and oxygen atoms as one oxygen atom  shares its two electrons with two hydrogen atoms .The positive charge  of one hydrogen atom associates with negative charge of  oxygen atom.These are weak interactions  which are formed between a hydrogen atom each with a partial positive charge and an oxygen atom which is more electronegative than hydrogen.

d. Z is the correct product since pyridine acts as a nucleophile.
e. Both X and Y are both formed in this reaction as a racemic mixture

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The appropriate diagram of the question is shown in the first image attached below.

From the diagram, we see the reaction of Cyclopentanol taking place under Tscl pyridine. We are to show the reaction mechanism and determine from the options, which appropriate product fits in.

So, from the reaction, the hydroxyl substituent reacts with Tscl where cl is being lost. This process is followed by an attack of N substituent on the pyridine with the Hydrogen atom and cleaves off for the structure to form a stable structure. The stereochemistry of the compound remains unchanged and it maintains its stick formula.

Thus, X is the appropriate and the correct product.

1. A sample of a chemical compound has 2.96g carbon, 0.414g hydrogen, 0.675g oxygen and 2.96 sulphur.
calculate it's empirical formula.

2.if it's mass was 972g, determine its molecular formula.​

Answers

Answer:

1. The empirical formula => C₆H₁₀OS₂

2. Molecular formula => C₃₆H₆₀O₆S₁₂

Explanation:

1. Determination of the empirical formula.

Carbon (C) = 2.96 g

Hydrogen (H) = 0.414 g

Oxygen (O) = 0.675 g

Sulphur (S) = 2.96 g

Divide by their molar mass

C = 2.96 / 12 = 0.247

H = 0.414 / 1 = 0.414

O = 0.675 / 16 = 0.042

S = 2.96 / 32 = 0.0925

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.247 / 0.042 = 6

H = 0.414 / 0.042 = 10

O = 0.042 / 0.042 = 1

S = 0.0925 /0.042 = 2

Therefore, the empirical formula is

C₆H₁₀OS₂

2. Determination of the molecular formula.

Molar mass of compound = 972 g/mol

Empirical formula => C₆H₁₀OS₂

Molecular formula =>?

Molecular formula = [C₆H₁₀OS₂]ₙ

Molecular formula = molar mass of compound

Thus,

[C₆H₁₀OS₂]ₙ = 972

[(12×6) + (10×1) + 16 + (32×2)]n = 972

[72 + 10 + 16 + 64]n = 32

162n = 972

Divide both side by 162

n = 972 / 162

n = 6

Molecular formula = [C₆H₁₀OS₂]ₙ

Molecular formula = [C₆H₁₀OS₂]₆

Molecular formula = C₃₆H₆₀O₆S₁₂

Sea turtles use the earths geomagnetic filed to navigate their way home. What is the reason earth has a geomagnetic filed?

Answers

Answer:

Due to the iron inside the earth.

Explanation:

Imagine a sphere of Iron, as big as two-third the size of the moon and as hot as 5700 Kelvin. That is the Earth’s core.

The iron core isn't in its liquid form even at that temperature because it is crushed under immense gravity. This core is surrounded by 2000 km of other metals like iron and nickel which are in their molten state.

The temperature is not the same at every point in this molten layer. The hotter and less dense matter rises up, and the warm denser matter sinks. This causes convectional currents in the interior of the Earth.

Because of the Earth’s spin, there is a force that is established called the Coriolis force which causes swirling whirlpools here too.

This flow of molten metals produces electric currents which generate self-sustaining magnetic fields. And as a result of the Coriolis force, all these combined effects add up to produce one big magnetic field engulfing the Earth aligned in one direction.

For 2-methylbutane, the AH° of vaporization is 25.22 kJ/mol and the

AS° of vaporization is 84.48 J/mol K. At 1.00 atm and 201 K, what is

the AG° of vaporization for 2-methylbutane, in kJ/mol?

Answers

Answer:

ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°

ΔG° = 25.22-(201 )(0.08448)

ΔG° = 8.24 kJ/mol

The standard free energy is obtained as 8.2  kJ/mol.

We know that; ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS° where;

ΔG° = standard free energy

ΔH° = standard enthalpy

T = temperature

ΔS° = standard entropy

Hence substituting the values;

ΔG° =25.22 kJ/mol - (201 K * 84.48 J/mol K)

ΔG° = 25.22 * 10^3 J/mol -   16980.5 J/mol

If 0.60 L of a solution contains 6.6 g of NaBr, what is its molar concentration?

Answers

Answer:

Molarity = moles ÷ liters

to get moles of NaBr divide grams of NaBr by its molar mass (mass of Na + mass of Bromine)

Na = 22.989769

Br = 79.904

molar mass of NaBr = 102.893769

6.6g ÷ 102.893769 = 0.064143826 moles of NaBr

0.064143826 moles ÷ 0.60 liters = 0.1069 molar concentration or 11 %

8. Calculate (H^+), (OH^-), pOH and the pH for a 0.00024 M solution of calcium hydroxide. Must show work!

Answers

Answer:

1. [H⁺] = 2.0×10¯¹¹ M

2. [OH¯] = 4.8×10¯⁴ M

3. pOH = 3.3

4. pH = 10.7

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained obtained:

Molarity of Ca(OH)₂ = 0.00024 M

We'll begin by calculating the concentration of the hydroxide ion [OH¯]. This can be obtained as follow:

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) —> Ca²⁺ + 2OH¯

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ produced 2 moles of OH¯.

Therefore, 0.00024 M Ca(OH)₂ will produce = 2 × 0.00024 = 4.8×10¯⁴ M OH¯

Thus, the concentration of the hydroxide ion [OH¯] is 4.8×10¯⁴ M

Next, we shall determine the pOH of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Concentration of the hydroxide ion [OH¯] = 4.8×10¯⁴ M

pOH =?

pOH = –Log [OH¯]

pOH = –Log 4.8×10¯⁴

pOH = 3.3

Next, we shall determine the pH of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

pOH = 3.3

pH =?

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 3.3 = 14

Collect like terms

pH = 14 – 3.3

pH = 10.7

Finally, we shall determine the concentration of hydrogen ion [H⁺]. This can be obtained as follow:

pH = 10.7

Concentration of hydrogen ion [H⁺] =?

pH = –Log [H⁺]

10.7 = –Log [H⁺]

Divide both side by –1

–10.7 = Log [H⁺]

Take the antilog of –10.7

[H⁺] = Antilog (–10.7)

[H⁺] = 2.0×10¯¹¹ M

SUMMARY:

1. [H⁺] = 2.0×10¯¹¹ M

2. [OH¯] = 4.8×10¯⁴ M

3. pOH = 3.3

4. pH = 10.7

Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift right, or remain unchanged after each disturbance.

a. NO is added to the reaction mixture
b. BrNO is added to the reaction mixture
c. Br2 is removed from the reaction mixture
d. Pressure is increased

Answers

Answer:

a. NO is added to the reaction mixture ⇒ to the left

b. BrNO is added to the reaction mixture ⇒ to the right

c. Br₂ is removed from the reaction mixture ⇒ to the right

d. Pressure is increased ⇒ to the left

Explanation:

The reaction at equilibrium is the following:

2BrNO (g) → 2NO (g)+ Br₂ (g)

The left side is the reactants side (2 BrNO) and the right side is the products side (2 NO + Br₂).

a. NO is added to the reaction mixture

NO is a product, in the right side of the equation. If a product is added, the equilibrium will shift to the opposite side, to the left, to form more reactants and compensate for the addition.

b. BrNO is added to the reaction mixture

BrNO is a reactant, in the left side of the equation. If a reactant is added to a reaction at equilibrium, more product will be formed in compensation. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift to the right.

c. Br₂ is removed from the reaction mixture

Br₂ is a product, in the right side. If it is removed, the system will compensate for the remotion by forming more product, so the reaction will shift to the right.

d. Pressure is increased

Since both reactants and products are in the gas phase, the equilibrium is affected by pressure. If pressure is increased, the equilibrium will shift to the side of the reaction with the fewest number of moles. The reactants side (left) has 2 moles of BrNO while the products side (right) has 3 moles (1 mol NO + 1 mol Br₂ = 3 moles of gas). Therefore, the reactants side has the fewest number of moles, so the equilibrium will shift to the left.

Explanation:

From the given information:

Total amount of CO₂ = 4.86 grams

Atomic mass of C = 12 g/mole

molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mole

The mass of the Carbon (C) in grams is:

[tex]= Total\ amount \ of \ CO_2 \times \dfrac{12 \ g/mol}{44 \ g/mol}[/tex]

[tex]= 4.86 \ g \times \dfrac{12 \ g/mol}{44 \ g/mol}[/tex]

= 1.33 gram of carbon

2.

Here, the total amount of CO₂ = unknown

Atomic mass of O₂ = 32 g/mole

molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mole

amount of oxygen = 1.73 g

The mass of CO₂ = [tex]Total \ amount \ of \ O_2 \times \dfrac{44 \ g/mol}{32\ g/mol}[/tex]
