For scuba dives below 150 ft, helium is often used to replace nitrogen in the scuba tank. If 15.2 g of He(g) and 30.6 g of O2(g)

are added to a previously evacuated 5.00 L tank at 22° C, calculate the partial pressure of each gas present as well as the total pressure in the tank.

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

To do this exercise, we need to use the following expression:

P = nRT/V

This is the equation for an ideal gas. so, we have the temperature of 22 °C, R is the gas constant which is 0.082 L atm / mol K, V is the volume in this case, 5 L, and n is the moles, which we do not have, but we can calculate it.

For the case of the oxygen (AW = 16 g/mol):

n = 30.6 / 32 = 0.956 moles

For the case of helium (AW = 4 g/mol)_

n = 15.2 / 4 = 3.8 moles

Now that we have the moles, let's calculate the pressures:

P1 = 0.956 * 0.082 * 295 / 5

P1 = 4.63 atm

P2 = 3.8 * 0.082 * 295 / 5

P2 = 18.38 atm

Finally the total pressure:

Pt = 4.63 + 18.38

Pt = 23.01 atm

If the mass percentage composition of a compound is 72.1% Mn and 27.9% O, its empirical formula is
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

MnO- Manganese Oxide

Explanation:

Empirical formula: This is the formula that shows the ratio of elements

present in a  

compound.

   

How to determine Empirical formula

1. First arrange the symbols of the elements present in the compound

alphabetically to  determine the real empirical formula. Although, there

are exceptions to this rule, E.g H2So4

2. Divide the percentage composition by the mass number.

3. Then divide through by the smallest number.

4. The resulting answer is the ratio attached to the elements present in

a compound.

           

                                                                              Mn                         O    

                         

% composition                                                      72.1                      27.9    

                       

Divide by mass number                                       54.94                     16  

                                 

                                                                               1.31                      1.74    

                       

Divide by the smallest number                         1.31                      1.31                          

                                                                               1                    1.3

                                                 

The resulting ratio is 1:1

 

Hence the Empirical formula is MnO, Manganese oxide

What mass of CaSO3 must have been present initially to produce 14.5 L of SO2 gas at a temperature of 12.5°C and a pressure of 1.
german
When the reaction equation is:

CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)

we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.

to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

when P is the pressure =  1.1 atm

and V is the volume = 14.5 L 

n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)

R ideal gas constant = 0.0821

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K

so, by substitution:

1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5

∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)

       = 0.68 moles SO2

∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles

so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:

when mass = moles * molar mass

and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol


∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g

What is the mass of solute in 200.0 L of a 1.556-M solution of KBr
sergejj [24]
The molarity of KBr solution is 1.556 M
molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in volume of 1 L solution.
the number of KBr moles in 1 L - 1.556 mol
Therefore in 200.0 L - 1.556 mol/L x 200.0 L = 311.2 mol
Molar mass of KBr - 119 g/mol 
mass of Kbr - 311.2 mol x 119 g/mol = 37 033 g
mass of solute therefore is 37.033 kg

If radioactive caesium was reacted with chlorine, would you expect the caesium chloride produced to be radioactive? Explain you
aniked [119]
Yes due to the radioactivity having nothing to do with the chemical equation given it will release radiation at a rate determined by it's half life.

What fraction of the carbon dioxide exhaled by animals is generated by the reactions of the citric acid cycle
puteri [66]

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

Pyruvate is produced by the glycolysis in cytoplasm. The oxidation of pyruvate takes place in mitochondrial matrix.  

Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the reaction given below:

Pyruvate + NAD⁺ + CoA-SH ⇒ acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO₂

1 molecule of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 1 molecule of pyruvate.

Also,  

2 molecules of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 2 molecules of pyruvate (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate).

Also, acetyl-CoA further goes into the citric acid cycle and produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide.

Thus pyruvate produces total 3 molecules of CO₂  and hence glucose produces 6 molecules of CO₂ (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate)

Thus,

<u>Fraction = 2/6 = 1/3</u>
