The weight of 350 mL of a diatomic gas at 0°C and 2 atm pressure is 1g. The weight of one atom is (N is the Avogadro's number):
Correct answer: A. 16/N
- A. 16/N
- B. 32/N
- C. 16 N
- D. 32 N
Explanation
To find the weight of one atom of the diatomic gas, you can use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT Where: P = Pressure (2 atm) V = Volume (350 mL = 0.35 L) n = Number of moles R = Ideal gas constant T = Temperature (0°C = 273.15 K) First, you need to calculate the number of moles of the gas: PV = nRT (2 atm) * (0.35 L) = n * (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K)) * (273.15 K) 0.7 = n * 22.413 n ≈ 0.0313 moles Now, you can calculate the molar mass of the diatomic gas by using the weight and the number of moles: Molar mass = Weight / Moles Molar mass = 1 g / 0.0313 moles ≈ 31.95 g/mol Since the gas is diatomic, its molar mass is approximately 2 times the molar mass of a single atom: The molar mass of one atom = Molar mass of the gas / 2 Molar mass of one atom = 31.95 g/mol / 2 ≈ 15.98 g/mol Now, we need to convert this molar mass into atomic mass units (amu). To do this, you divide by Avogadro's number (N, which is approximately 6.022 x 10^23): Molar mass of one atom (in amu) ≈ (15.98 g/mol) / N So, the correct answer is approximately: Molar mass of one atom ≈ (15.98 g/mol) / N

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry
Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
