Question
Chapter 2, Problem 22E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the molecules of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and carbon suboxide that illustrates the law of multiple proportions is to be stated.
Concept introduction: As per the law of multiple proportions, “when the combination of two elements occurs with one another to yield two or more compounds, then the ratios of one element's masses together with the other element's fixed mass are simple whole numbers.”

Archimedes tells us the lifting power of a balloon (how much mass it can lift) is equal to the
difference between the mass of the balloon and the mass of the air it displaces. That is, if the
balloon occupies the same volume as 10 kg of air, but the balloon only weighs 2 kg, then the
balloon can lift 8 kg.
Airships have sometimes been filled with hydrogen (H₂), but hydrogen is very flammable, and
after the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed in 1937 with serious loss of life airships have nearly
always been filled with helium (He) instead.
Passengers with H₂:

Suppose a new airship Star of Balogna will have the shape of a cylinder 100. m long, with a radius of 15.0 m, and will weigh 9250. kg without any gas inside it.
Suppose also the average passenger weighs 82 kg.
Calculate how many passengers the Balogna could carry if it were filled with hydrogen, and also if it were filled with helium.

Since that time, however, important uses have been found for a number of noble gas compounds. For example, xenon difluoride, XeF2, is an excellent fluorinating agent (a substance that adds fluorine atoms to other substances). One reason it is preferred over certain other fluorinating agents is that the products of its fluorinating reactions are easily separated from the gaseous xenon. The following unbalanced equation represents one such reaction: S3O9 + XeF2 → S2O6F2 + Xe Balance this equation. What is the minimum number of moles of XeF2 necessary to react with 4 moles of S3O9?
