A student collected a sample of hydrogen gas by the displacement of water as shown by the diagram above. The relevant data are given in the following table. GAS SAMPLE DATA Volume of sample Temperature Atmospheric Pressure Equilibrium Vapor Pressure of H₂O (25°C) 90.0 mL 25°C 745 mm Hg 23.8 mm Hg (a) Calculate the number of moles of hydrogen gas collected. (b) Calculate the number of molecules of water vapor in the sample of gas. (c) Calculate the ratio of the average speed of the hydrogen molecules to the average speed of the water vapor molecules in the sample. (d) Which of the two gases, H₂ or H₂O, deviates more from ideal behavior? Explain your answer.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
