Question

2. A) If a 1.0-gallon (3.785L) bottle were filled with bleach (NaOCl), how many Cl atoms would be in the bottle? Bleach=1.090 g/ml.

B) At 25°C, the density of water is 0.0997 gm/ml. At -10°c, the density of ice is 0.917 gm/cm3. If a bottle with a volume of 275 ml, were filled fully with water at 25°c, then frozen to -10°c, could the ice still be contained in the bottle? What would be the volume of ice be?

C) A sample of dry gas weighing 3.1134 gm is forced to occupy 7.2 L at 22°c and 740 mm Hg pressure. How many moles of the gas present?

Explanation / Answer

A)

we know that

mass = density x volume

so

mass of NaOCl = 1.09 x 3785

mass of NaOCl = 4125.65 g

now

moles = mass / molar mass

also

molar mass of NaOCl = 74.44 g /mol

so

moles of NaOCl = 4125.65 / 74.44

moles of NaOCl =55.4225

now

we know that

number of molecules = moles x 6.022 x 10^23

so

number of NaOCl molecules = 55.4225 x 6.022 x 10^23

number of NaOCl molecules = 3.3375 x 10^25

now

we can see that

1 molecule of NaOCl contains 1 Cl atom

so

number of Cl atoms = number of NaOCl molecules = 3.3375 x 10^25

B)

we know that

mass = density x volume

so

mass of water in the bottle = 0.997 x 275

mass of water in the bottle = 274.175 g

now

when water is converted to ice , mass remains constant

so

mass of ice = 274.175 g

now

volume = mass / density

so

volume required for ice = 274.175 / 0.917

volume required for ice = 299 ml

but volume of the bottle is 275 ml

so

the ice cannot be contained in the bottle

the volume of ice will be 299 ml

C)

we know that

for gases

PV = nRT

given

pressure = 740 mm Hg = 740 / 760 atm

volume (V) = 7.2 L

temperature (T) = 22 + 273 K = 295 K

so

using those values

we get

(740/760) x 7.2 = n x 0.0821 x 295

n = 0.29

so

0.29 moles of the gas is present
