Thirty (30.0) milliliters of ethane (C2H6) occupy a container at STP. If the container is heated to 300.0 K and the pressure reduced to 75.0 kPa, what is the new volume?

44.6millilitres

Explanation:

Using the general gas law equation as follows:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

V1 = initial volume (L)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

V2 = final volume (L)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to this question;

V1 = 30mL

T1 = 273K (STP)

P1 = 1 atm (STP)

V2 = ?

T2 = 300K

P2 = 75.0 kPa = 75 × 0.00987 = 0.74atm

Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

1 × 30/273 = 0.74×V2/300

30/273 = 0.74V2/300

Cross multiply

300 × 30 = 273 × 0.74V2

9000 = 202.02V2

V2 = 9000/202.02

V2 = 44.55

V2 = 44.6millilitres.

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.

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again
