A mixture of 0.224 g of H2, 1.06 g of N2, and 0.834 g of Ar is stored in a closed container at STP. Find the volume (in L) of the container, assuming that the gases exhibit ideal behavior.
Answer: The volume of given container is 3.83 L.
Explanation:
Given: Mass of [tex]H_{2}[/tex] = 0.224 g
Mass of [tex]N_{2}[/tex] = 1.06 g
Mass of Ar = 0.834 g
Since, moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. Therefore, moles of given substances present in the mixture are as follows.
Moles of [tex]H_{2}[/tex] are:
[tex]Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{0.224 g}{2 g/mol}\\= 0.112 mol[/tex]
Moles of [tex]N_{2}[/tex] are:
[tex]Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{1.06 g}{28 g/mol}\\= 0.038 mol[/tex]
Moles of Ar are:
[tex]Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{0.834 g}{40 g/mol}\\= 0.021 mol[/tex]
Total moles = (0.112 + 0.038 + 0.021) mol = 0.171 mol
Now, using ideal gas equation the volume is calculated as follows.
PV = nRT
where,
P = pressure
V = volume
n = no. of moles
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K
T = temperature
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]V = \frac{nRT}{P}\\= \frac{0.171 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 273 K}{1 atm}\\= 3.83 L[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the volume of given container is 3.83 L.

In a different titration, a 0.7529 g sample of a mixture of solid C6H5COOH and solid NaCl is dissolved in water and titrated with 0.150 M NaOH. The equivalence point is reached when 24.78 mL of the base solution is added. Calculate each of the following.
a. The mass, in grams, of benzoic acid in the solid sample
b. The mass percentage of benzoic acid in the solid sample
Answer:
a. 0.4539g benozic acid
b. 60.29% of benzoic acid in the solid sample
Explanation:
The benzoic acid reacts with NaOH as follows:
C6H5COOH + NaOH → C6H5COONa + H2O
Where 1 mole of the acid reacts per mole of NaOH
The NaCl doesn't react with NaOH
To solve this question we must find the moles of NaOH added = Moles of benzoic acid. With the moles of the acid and its molar mass (C6H5COOH = 122.12g/mol) we can find the mass of the acid and its mass percentage:
a. Moles NaOH = Moles Benzoic acid:
24.78mL = 0.02478L * (0.150mol / L) = 0.003717 moles Benozic acid
Mass benzoic acid:
0.003717 moles Benozic acid * (122.12g / mol) = 0.4539g benozic acid
b. Mass percentage is:
0.4539g / 0.7529g * 100 = 60.29% of benzoic acid in the solid sample
An unknown compound (152 mg) was dissolved in water to make 75.0 mL of solution. The solution did not conduct electricity and had an osmotic pressure of 0.328 atm at 27°C. Elemental analysis revealed the substance to be 78.90% C, 10.59% H, and 10.51% O. Determine the molecular formula of this compound.
Answer:
The molecular formula of the compound is C10H16O.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the mass of an unknown compound is 152 mg or 0.152 g, which was dissolved to produce 75 ml of solution.
The osmotic pressure of the solution is 0.328 atm at 27 degrees C or 300 K.
The formula of osmotic pressure is,
P = CRT
Now putting the values in the formula we get,
0.328 = C*0.0821*300
C = 0.013317
C = (mass/molecular mass) * (1000/volume of solution in ml)
0.013317 = (0.152/Molecular mass) * (1000/75)
Molecular mass = 152.186
C mass = 152.186 * 0.789 = 120.07 grams
C mole = 120.07/12 = 10
H mass = 152.186 * 0.1059 = 16.11 grams
H mole = 16.11/1 = 16
O mass = 152.186 - 120.07 - 16.116 = 16 grams
O mole = 16/16 = 1
Thus, the molecular formula of the compound will be,
C10H16O
A sample of a gas has a volume of 852 mL at 298 K. If the gas is cooled to 200K, what would the new volume be?
Answer:

V₁T₂=V₂T₁Where in this case:
V₁ = 852 mLT₂ = 200 KV₂ = ?T₁ = 298 KWe input the data:
852 mL * 200 K = V₂ * 298 KAnd solve for V₂:
V₂ = 571.81 mLThe new volume would be 571.81 mL.

What volume of chlorine gas at 27 °C, 812 mmHg, is required to react with an excess of carbon disulfide so that 5.00kJ of heat is evolved?
Answer:
The correct answer is 1.21 L.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the reaction will be,
CS2 (l) + 3Cl2 (g) ⇒ CCl4 (l) + S2Cl2 (l)
By using the standard values of the substances, the standard enthalpy of the reaction is,
ΔH° = [(-139.5) + (-58.5) – 0 – (87.3)] kJ/mol
= -285.3 kJ/mol
The amount of heat evolved for 3 moles of chlorine reacted us 285.3 kJ.
Now the number of moles of chlorine needed to react to produce 5.00 kJ is,
= 5.00 kJ × 3 mol Cl2/285.3 kJ
= 0.0526 mol Cl2
Now the volume of chlorine gas at 27degree C and 812 mmHg will be,
Volume = 0.0526 mol Cl2 × 0.0821 Latm/mol K × 300 K/ 1.07 atm
= 1.21 L

Two airplanes are flying in the sky in such a way that the gravitational attractions between them decreases. The planes must be flying away from each other. Hence option A is correct.
What is gravitational attraction?Gravitational attraction is defined as a basic interaction that pulls everything with mass or energy in the same direction. All objects are subject to gravitational interactions, the strength of which is directly inversely proportional to the product of their masses. The size of an object and the separation between the objects have an impact on gravity.
In order to reduce the gravitational pull, two planes are flying in the sky. There must be a directionality between the aircraft. No matter what is in between the two bodies, there will still be gravitational pull. As a result, even if the medium between the two bodies changed, the gravitational force between them would not.
Thus, two airplanes are flying in the sky in such a way that the gravitational attractions between them decreases. The planes must be flying away from each other. Hence option A is correct.

Climate models show that human climate forcing is causing the loss of mountain and tidewater glaciers. Briefly explain why glaciers are an important aspect of human survival.
Answer:
A glacier is a large mass of snow and ice that has accumulated over many years and is present year-round. In the United States, glaciers can be found in the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, the Cascades, and throughout Alaska. A glacier flows naturally like a river, only much more slowly. At higher elevations, glaciers accumulate snow, which eventually becomes compressed into ice. At lower elevations, the “river” of ice naturally loses mass because of melting and ice breaking off and floating away (iceberg calving) if the glacier ends in a lake or the ocean. When melting and calving are exactly balanced by new snow accumulation, a glacier is in equilibrium and its mass will neither increase nor decrease.
In many areas, glaciers provide communities and ecosystems with a reliable source of streamflow and drinking water, particularly in times of extended drought and late in the summer, when seasonal snowpack has melted away. Freshwater runoff from glaciers also influences ocean ecosystems. Glaciers are important as an indicator of climate change because physical changes in glaciers whether they are growing or shrinking, advancing or receding provide visible evidence of changes in temperature and precipitation. If glaciers lose more ice than they can accumulate through new snowfall, they ultimately add more water to the oceans, leading to a rise in sea level (see the Sea Level indicator). The same kinds of changes occur on a much larger scale within the giant ice sheets that cover Greenland and Antarctica, potentially leading to even bigger implications for sea level. Small glaciers tend to respond more quickly to climate change than the giant ice sheets. Altogether, the world’s small glaciers are adding roughly the same amount of water to the oceans per year as the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica combined. During the last two decades, they added more water overall to the oceans than the ice sheets did.
Explanation:
please give this answer as brainliest answer
Because they offer a variety of essential functions, including as controlling river flows and water supply, safeguarding coastal areas from floods, and preserving biodiversity, glaciers are a crucial component of human survival.
What is the source of the freshwater ?First, many people throughout the world rely heavily on glaciers as a supply of freshwater. When glaciers melt, they release water that has been stored and is subsequently utilised for agriculture, drinking water, and other things.
In dry areas with limited access to other freshwater sources, this water is very crucial. As a natural reservoir, glaciers may also hold a lot of water during the winter and release it gradually throughout the summer. This helps to control river flows and avoid flooding.
Second, glaciers contribute significantly to the global climate.system of climate. Large volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released as glaciers melt, which can contribute to global warming. Glaciers may also reflect sunlight, which aids in cooling the surroundings around them.
High-altitude places, where glaciers can help regulate temperatures and avert catastrophic weather occurrences, are particularly crucial for this cooling impact. Last but not least, glaciers are crucial for the preservation of biodiversity. Numerous types of plants, animals, and microorganisms find a special niche in glaciers. These species may be disrupted by glacier melting, which might result in the extinction of entire ecosystems. The environment and the communities who rely on it may be significantly impacted by this.

A solution is prepared by mixing 50.00 mL of 0.100 M HNO3 and 100.00 ml of 0.200 M Ca(NO3)2. Calculate the molarity of the nitrate ion in the final solution.
A solution is prepared by mixing 50.00 mL of 0.100 M HNO3 and 100.00 ml of 0.200 M Ca(NO3)2. The molarity of the nitrate ion in the final solution is 0.1667 M.
What is molarity ?The amount of a substance in a specific volume of solution is known as its molarity (M). The number of moles of a solute per liter of a solution is known as molarity. The molar concentration of a solution is another name for molarity.
Molarity (M), which is determined by dividing the solute's mass in moles by the volume of the solution in liters, is the most widely used unit to express solution concentration: liters of solution/moles of solute equals M. One liter of a solution with a 1.00 molar concentration (1.00 M) contains 1.00 moles of solute.
50.0 mL x 0.100 M
= 5.00 millimoles of HNO3
=0.00500 moles
100.0 mL x 0.200 M
= 20.0 millimoles of HNO3

millimoles / mL = Molarity
25.0 / 150.0
= 0.1667 M
moles / Liters = Molarity

what's autonization of water
Explanation:
The self-ionization of water (also autoionization of water, and autodissociation of water) is an ionization reaction in pure water or in an aqueous solution, in which a water molecule, H2O, deprotonates (loses the nucleus of one of its hydrogen atoms) to become a hydroxide ion, OH−. The hydrogen nucleus, H+, immediately protonates another water molecule to form hydronium, H3O+. It is an example of autoprotolysis, and exemplifies the amphoteric nature of water
Animation of the self-ionization of water
Chemically pure water has an electrical conductivity of 0.055 μS/cm. According to the theories of Svante Arrhenius, this must be due to the presence of ions. The ions are produced by the water self-ionization reaction, which applies to pure water and any aqueous solution:
H2O + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + OH−
Expressed with chemical activities a, instead of concentrations, the thermodynamic equilibrium constant for the water ionization reaction is:
{\displaystyle K_{\rm {eq}}={\frac {a_{\rm {H_{3}O^{+}}}\cdot a_{\rm {OH^{-}}}}{a_{\rm {H_{2}O}}^{2}}}}
which is numerically equal to the more traditional thermodynamic equilibrium constant written as:
{\displaystyle K_{\rm {eq}}={\frac {a_{\rm {H^{+}}}\cdot a_{\rm {OH^{-}}}}{a_{\rm {H_{2}O}}}}}
under the assumption that the sum of the chemical potentials of H+ and H3O+ is formally equal to twice the chemical potential of H2O at the same temperature and pressure.[1]
Because most acid–base solutions are typically very dilute, the activity of water is generally approximated as being equal to unity, which allows the ionic product of water to be expressed as:[2]
{\displaystyle K_{\rm {eq}}\approx a_{\rm {H_{3}O^{+}}}\cdot a_{\rm {OH^{-}}}}
In dilute aqueous solutions, the activities of solutes (dissolved species such as ions) are approximately equal to their concentrations. Thus, the ionization constant, dissociation constant, self-ionization constant, water ion-product constant or ionic product of water, symbolized by Kw, may be given by:
{\displaystyle K_{\rm {w}}=[{\rm {H_{3}O^{+}}}][{\rm {OH^{-}}}]}
where [H3O+] is the molarity (≈ molar concentration)[3] of hydrogen or hydronium ion, and [OH−] is the concentration of hydroxide ion. When the equilibrium constant is written as a product of concentrations (as opposed to activities) it is necessary to make corrections to the value of {\displaystyle K_{\rm {w}}} depending on ionic strength and other factors (see below).[4]
At 25 °C and zero ionic strength, Kw is equal to 1.0×10−14. Note that as with all equilibrium constants, the result is dimensionless because the concentration is in fact a concentration relative to the standard state, which for H+ and OH− are both defined to be 1 molal (or nearly 1 molar). For many practical purposes, the molal (mol solute/kg water) and molar (mol solute/L solution) concentrations can be considered as nearly equal at ambient temperature and pressure if the solution density remains close to one (i.e., sufficiently diluted solutions and negligible effect of temperature changes). The main advantage of the molal concentration unit (mol/kg water) is to result in stable and robust concentration values which are independent of the solution density and volume changes (density depending on the water salinity (ionic strength), temperature and pressure); therefore, molality is the preferred unit used in thermodynamic calculations or in precise or less-usual conditions, e.g., for seawater with a density significantly different from that of pure water,[3] or at elevated temperatures, like those prevailing in thermal power plants.
We can also define pKw {\displaystyle \equiv } −log10 Kw (which is approximately 14 at 25 °C). This is analogous to the notations pH and pKa for an acid dissociation constant, where the symbol p denotes a cologarithm. The logarithmic form of the equilibrium constant equation is pKw = pH + pOH.
Question 2

Inside a car that was at STP, a 0.95 L bottle warms up to 144 C. If the volume of the bottle
remains constant, what is the pressure, in atm, inside the hot water bottle?
Answer:
1.53 atm
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Volume = constant
Initial pressure (P₁) = stp = 1 atm
Initial temperature (T₁) = 273 K
Final temperature (T₂) = 144 °C = 144 °C + 273 = 417 K
Final pressure (P₂) =?
Since the volume is constant, the final pressure can be obtained as follow:
P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂
1 / 273 = P₂ / 417
Cross multiply
273 × P₂ = 417
Divide both side by 273
P₂ = 417 / 273
P₂ = 1.53 atm
Therefore, the final pressure (i.e the pressure inside the hot water bottle) is 1.53 atm.
