I need alot of help on this problem, it is due WEDNESDAY and I have no clue how to do it
Use the following information to identify element A and come
pound B, then answer questions a and b.
An empty glass container has a mass of 658.572 g. It has a
mass of 659.452 g after it has been filled with nitrogen gas at a
pressure of 790. torr and a temperature of 15°C. When the container
is evacuated and refilled with a certain element (A) at a
pressure of 745 torr and a temperature of 26"C, it has a mass of
660.59 g.
Compound B, a gaseous organic compound that consists of
85.6% carbon and 14.4% hydrogen by mass, is placed in a stainless
steel vessel (10.68 L) with excess oxygen gas. The vessel is
placed in a constant-temperature bath at 22°C. The pressure in
the vessel is 1 1.98 atm. In the bottom of the vessel is a container
that is packed with Ascarite and a desiccant. Ascarite is asbestos
impregnated with sodium hydroxide; it quantitatively absorbs
carbon dioxide:
2NaOH(s) + CO2(g) -----> Na2CO3(s) H2O(l)
The desiccant is anhydrous magnesium perchlorate, which
quantitatively absorbs the water produced by the combustion reaction
as well as the water produced by the above reaction. Neither
the Ascarite nor the desiccant reacts with compound B or
oxygen. The total mass of the container with the Ascarite and
desiccant is 765.3 g.
The combustion reaction of compound B is initiated by a
spark. The pressure immediately rises, then begins to decrease,
and finally reaches a steady value of 6.02 atm. The stainless steel
vessel is carefdly opened, and the mass of the container inside
the vessel is found to be 846.7 g.
A and B react quantitatively in a 1: 1 mole ratio to form one
mole of the single product, gas C.
a. How many grams of C will be produced if 10.0 L of A and
8.60 L of B (each at STP) are reacted by opening a stopcock
connecting the two samples?
b. What will be the total pressure in the system?
This problem looks almost like the one posted by John just before this post. And I notice both of you are writing from the same computer. Am I talking to two people (or one) and are these two separate problems See my response to that problem.
Sorry this is the same problem, we r working together, just send to John, Thanks
To solve this problem, let's break it down into smaller steps.
Step 1: Identify Element A and Compound B
In the given information, the masses and conditions of the glass container filled with nitrogen gas and element A are provided. Element A is the substance added to the container after it was evacuated and refilled. To identify element A, we need to compare its mass, pressure, and temperature to those of nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas has a mass of 659.452 g, pressure of 790 torr, and temperature of 15°C. Element A has a mass of 660.59 g and is at a pressure of 745 torr and a temperature of 26°C. By comparing these values, we can see that element A is nitrogen gas.
Compound B is an organic compound composed of 85.6% carbon and 14.4% hydrogen by mass.
