Answer: 16g/mol; O2

Explanation:

The gas has a volume of 2.5L at STP, so the number of moles can be determined as follows.

n=2.5L×1mol/22.4L=0.1116mol

The mass is given to be 3.571g. The molar mass of the unknown gas can be determined by dividing grams by moles.

3.571g/0.1116mol=32.00g/mol

The gas is a homonuclear diatomic gas, so the gas must contain two atoms with a molar mass of 32g/mol/2=16g/mol. This is the molar mass of the element oxygen, so the gas is diatomic oxygen, O2.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

S°m,298K = 85.184 J/Kmol

Explanation:

∴ T = 10 K ⇒ Cp,m(Hg(s)) = 4.64 J/Kmol

∴ 10 K to 234.3 K ⇒ ΔS = 57.74 J/Kmol

∴ T = 234.3 K ⇒ ΔHf = 2322 J/mol

∴ 234.3 K to 298.0 K ⇒ ΔS = 6.85 J/Kmol

⇒ S°m,298K = S°m,0K + ∫CpdT/T(10K) + ΔS(10-234.3) + ΔHf/T(234.3K) + ΔS(234.3-298)

⇒ S°m,298K = 0 + 10.684 J/Kmol + 57.74 J/Kmol + 9.9104 J/Kmol + 6.85 J/kmol

⇒ S°m,298K = 85.184 J/Kmol

How many grams of chromium metal are plated out when a constant current of 8.00 a is passed through an aqueous solution containi
Oliga [24]
We can solve this without a concrete formula through dimensional analysis. This works by manipulating the units such that you end up with the unit of the final answer. Manipulate them by cancelling units that appear both in the numerator and denominator side. As a result, we must be left with the units of g. The current in A or amperes is equivalent to amount of Coulombs per second. Since this involves Coulombs, we will use the Faraday's constant which is 96,500 C/mol electron. The reaction is:

Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ --> Cr(s)

This means that for every 3 moles of electron transferred, 1 mole of Chromium metal is plated. The molar mass of Cr: 52 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of Chromium metal = (8 C/s)(60 s/1 min)(160 min)(1 mol e⁻/96,500 C)(1 mol Cr/3 mol e)(52 g/mol)
<em>Mass of Chromium metal = 13.79 g</em>

At higher elevations, the boiling point of water decreases, due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure. As a result, what could
amid [387]
When we say decrease in boiling point, that means, we achieve boiling at a more lower temperature (lower than 100deg C). This is due to the lower atmospheric pressure. Boiling happens when the vapor pressure is equal the atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure takes lower temperature for vapor pressure to equate with the atmospheric pressure. The answer here is letter B. 
At higher elevations, it would take longer to hard boil an egg, because there is a lower boiling point, so the egg is boiling in water at a lower temperature.

melisa1 [442]
1) chromium(III) nitrate is acidic,  because it is the salt of weak base (chromium(III) hydroxide Cr(OH)₃) and strong acid (nitric acid HNO₃).
2) sodium hydrosulfide is basic, because it is the salt of strong base (sodium hydroxide MaOH) and weak acid (hydrogen sulfide H₂S).
3) zinc acetate is little basic, because zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)₂) is stronger base than acetic acid (CH₃COOH).

zysi [14]
            <span> Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl(aq) yield MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

grams HCl required = (50.6 grams Mg(OH)2) * (1 mol Mg(OH)2 / 58.3197 grams Mg(OH)2) * (2 mol HCl / 1 mol Mg(OH)2) * (36.453 grams HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 63.26 grams HCl required

Since there are only 45.0 grams HCl, then HCl is the limiting reactant.

theoretical yield MgCl2 = (45.0 grams HCl) * (1 mol HCl / 36.453 grams HCl) * (1 mol MgCl2 / 2 mol HCl) * (95.211 grams MgCl2 / 1 mol MgCl2) = 58.6 grams MgCl2 </span>
