What mass of h2o is required to form 1.6 l of o2 at a temperature of 325 k and a pressure of 0.995 atm ?

2.14902 g

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation. This is given as;

2H2O --> O2 + 2H2

From the equation above, we can tell that 2 moles of H2O forms 1 mole of O2.

Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules."

This means; 3.2L ( 2 * 1.6) OF H2O would form 1.6L of O2.

Other parameters given are;

Pressure = 0.995atm

Temperature = 325K

Mass = ?

But mass = number of moles * Molar mass

Molar mass of H2O = 18g

Number of moles?

From ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

n = PV / RT

R = gas constant = 0.082057 L atm mol-1 K-1

n = (0.995 * 3.2) / (0.082057 * 325)

n = 3.184 / 26.669

n = 0.11939 moles

Mass = 0.11939 * 18 = 2.14902 g

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
