During world war ii, a portable source of hydrogen gas was needed for weather balloons, and solid metal hydrides were the most convenient form. many metal hydrides react with water to generate the metal hydroxide and hydrogen. two candidates were lithium hydride and magnesium hydride. what volume of gas is formed from 1.95 lb of each hydride at 750. torr and 27°c?

2758 L of LiH and 849 L of MgH₂

Explanation:

To know the volume of the gas, we can use the ideal gas law:

PV =nRT

Where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (62.36 torr*L/mol*K), and T is the temperature.

The mass is 1.95 lb = 884.52 g (1lb = 453.6 g).

T = 27ºC + 273 = 300 K

For lithium hydride (LiH)

The molar mass is: 7 g/mol of Li + 1 g/mol of H = 8g/mol

n = 884.52/8 = 110.565 mol

750*V = 110.565*62.36 *300

V = 2758 L of LiH

From magnesium hydride (MgH₂)

The molar mass is: 24 g/mol of Mg + 2* 1 g/mol of H = 26 g/mol

n = 884.52/26 = 34.02 mol

750*V = 34.02*62.36 *300

V = 849 L of MgH₂

warm front forms when a moist, warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass. as the warm air mass rises, it condenses into a broad area of clouds. a warm front brings gentle rain or light snow, followed by warmer, milder weather.

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
