You have 41.6 g of o2 gas in a container with twice the volume as one with co2 gas in another container. the pressure and temperature of both containers are the same. calculate the mass of carbon dioxide gas you have in the container.

The mass of carbon dioxide is 28.6 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of O2 = 41.6 grams

Volume of the O2 container = 2V

Volume of the CO2 container = V

Pressure and temperature are the same

Step 2: Ideal gas law

The ideal gas law = p*V=nRT

For O2: p*2V = n(O2)*R*T

For CO2: p*V = n(CO2)*R*T

n(O2)*R*T / P*2V = n(CO2)*R*T / P*V

Since P, R and T are contstant, we can simplify this to:

n(O2)/2 = n(CO2)

Step 3:  Calculate moles of O2

Moles O2 = mass O2/ Molar mass O2

Moles O2 = 41.6 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 1.3 mol O2

The number of moles CO2 = 0.65 mol

Mass of CO2 = Moles CO2 * Molar Mass CO2

Mass of CO2 = 0.65 mol * 44.01 g/mol

Mass of CO2 = 28.6 grams

The mass of carbon dioxide is 28.6 grams

your answer would be a. 12.5 kg

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
