What is the number of moles in 40.0 L of He gas at STP?

There are 1.78 moles in 40.0 L of He gas at STP

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (STP)

V = Volume of gas = 40.0  L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant =

T =temperature =   (STP)

Thus there are 1.78 moles in 40.0 L of He gas at STP

here we have to get the change of moles on decrease the volume of the reaction in gas phase.

the   per the given options it will decrease by (d) 11-50%

we know, on decreasing the volume of the gas phase reaction the reaction moves to the product side.

the reaction:                     so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g)         total

the moles at equilibrium:   1 - α                 α               α           = 1+α

concentrations:                   1 - α               α               α           = 1 + α

(concentration = moles/volume, as volume is 1 l)

(where α is the degree of dissociation)

now the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

=  

or,

or,   = (at v = 1l)

the reaction:                     so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g)         total

the moles at equilibrium:   1 - α                 α               α           = 1+α

concentrations:               (1 - α)/0.5           α/0.5         α/0.5       = (1 + α)/0.5

thus, the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

or,  

=  

so, the change of 1 : 1/0.5

or, 1: 2

thus it will decrease by 50%.

or, as per the given options it will decrease by 11-50%

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )
