Concept explainers
Interpretation: By analyzing given chemical equation the final volume of gas should be determined.
Concept introduction:
In 1811 the Italian chemist Avogadro introduced a gaseous law with interpreting the relationship between the number of moles and the volume of a gas at constant temperature and pressure. That is the volume of gas towards the amount of substance present. This law is known as
Avogadro’s law can be defined as,
A gas kept in the particular container at constant pressure and temperature. If the amount (number of moles) of gas in the container is increased, the number of moles in the unit area of container is increased and the volume of container is increased. That is the volume of container is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. As increasing the amount of substance of gas or the number of moles of gas, the volume of gas will expand. This direct relationship between the number of moles of gas and volume of gas is termed as Avogadro’s law.
Mathematically this law can be written as,
By rearranging,
Where n is the number of moles of gas and a is proportionality constant.

- 109 An ore sample with a mass of 670 kg contains 27.7% magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. If all of the magnesium carbonate in this ore sample is decomposed to form carbon dioxide, describe how to determine what volume of CO2 is evolved during the process. What would have to be measured to predict the needed volume in advance?arrow_forwardPyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forwardA student prepares phosphorous acid, H3PO3, by reacting solid phosphorus triiodide with water. PI3(s)+3H2O(l)H3PO3(s)+3HI(g) The student needs to obtain 0.250 L of H3PO3(d=1.651g/cm3). The procedure calls for a 45.0% excess of water and a yield of 75.0%. How much phosphorus triiodide should be weighed out? What volume of water (d=1.651g/cm3) should be used?arrow_forward
- Silane, SiH4, is the silicon analogue of methane, CH4. It is prepared industrially according to the following equations: Si(s)+3HC1(g)HSiCl3(l)+H2(g)4HSiCl3(l)SiH4(g)+3SiCl4(l) a. If 156 mL HSiCl3 (d = 1.34 g/mL) is isolated when 15.0 L HC1 at 10.0 atm and 35C is used, what is the percent yield of HSiCl3? b. When 156 mL HSiCl3 is heated, what volume of SiH4 at 10.0 atm and 35C will be obtained if the percent yield of the reaction is 93.1%?arrow_forwardAmmonia gas is synthesized by combining hydrogen and nitrogen: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g) (a) If you want to produce 562 g of NH3, what volume of H2 gas, at 56 C and 745 mm Hg, is required? (b) Nitrogen for this reaction will be obtained from air. What volume of air, measured at 29 C and 745 mm Hg pressure, will be required to provide the nitrogen needed to produce 562 g of NH3? Assume the sample of air contains 78.1 mole % N2.arrow_forwardAs 1 g of (lie radioactive element radium decays over 1 year. k produces 1.161018 alpha particles (helium nuclei).
