Please walk me through what youre doing to get to the answer and what that could bearrow_forwardQuestion 6: Chlorine is widely used to purify municipal water supplies and to treat swimming pool waters. Suppose that the volume of a particular sample of Cl₂ gas is 8.70 L at 895 torr and 24°C. (a) How many grams of Cl₂ are in the sample? ⚫ Atomic mass of CI = 35.453 g/mol • Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 x 35.453 = 70.906 g/mol Solution: Use the Ideal Gas Law: Step 1: Convert Given Values • Pressure: P = 895 torr → atm PV= = nRT 1 P = 895 × = 1.1789 atm 760 • Temperature: Convert to Kelvin: T24273.15 = 297.15 K • Gas constant: R = 0.0821 L atm/mol. K Volume: V = 8.70 L Step 2: Solve for n . PV n = RT n = (1.1789)(8.70) (0.0821)(297.15) 10.25 n = = 0.420 mol 24.405 Step 3: Calculate Mass of Cl₂ Final Answer: 29.78 g of Cl₂. mass nx M mass= (0.420)(70.906) mass= 29.78 garrow_forwardE1 R₁ w 0.50 20 Ω 12 R₁₂ ww ΒΩ R₂ 60 E3 C RA w 15 Ω E2 0.25 E4 0.75 Ω 0.5 Ωarrow_forward
