The mass of the balloon is thus less than the mass of the air displaced by its volume. ________________ (d) Because helium has a lower molar mass than the average air molecule, the helium atoms are in faster motion.

Draw the Lewis structure for ClO2 -. d) Predict the O—Cl—O bond angle in the ClO2 - ion. (e) One method of preparing ClO2 is by the reaction of chlorine and sodium chlorite: Cl2(g) + 2 NaClO2(s)?2 ClO2(g) + 2 NaCl(s) If you allow 15.0 g of NaClO2 to react with 2.00 L of chlorine gas at a pressure of 1.50 atm at 21 °C, how many grams of ClO2 can be prepared?

Problem 128IE Natural gas is very abundant in many Middle Eastern oil fields. However, the costs of shipping the gas to markets in other parts of the world are high because it is necessary to liquefy the gas, which is mainly methane and has a boiling point at atmospheric pressure of -164 °C. One possible strategy is to oxidize the methane to methanol, CH3OH, which has a boiling point of 65 °C and can therefore be shipped more readily. Suppose that 10.7 × 109 ft3 of methane at atmospheric pressure and 25 °C is oxidized to methanol. (a) What volume of methanol is formed if the density of CH3OH is 0.791 g/>mL? (b) Write balanced chemical equations for the oxidations of methane and methanol to CO2(g) and H2O(l). Calculate the total enthalpy change for complete combustion of the 10.7 × 109 ft3 of methane just described and for complete combustion of the equivalent amount of methanol, as calculated in part (a). (c) Methane, when liquefied, has a density of 0.466 g>mL; the density of methanol at 25 °C is 0.791 g/mL. Compare the enthalpy change upon combustion of a unit volume of liquid methane and liquid methanol. From the standpoint of energy production, which substance has the higher enthalpy of combustion per unit volume?

Problem 129IE Gaseous iodine pentafluoride, IF5, can be prepared by the reaction of solid iodine and gaseous fluorine: I2(s) + 5 F2(g)?2 IF5(g) A 5.00-L flask containing 10.0 g of I2 is charged with 10.0 g of F2, and the reaction proceeds until one of the reagents is completely consumed. After the reaction is complete, the temperature in the flask is 125 °C. (a) What is the partial pressure of IF5 in the flask? (b) What is the mole fraction of IF5 in the flask (c) Draw the Lewis structure of IF5. (d) What is the total mass of reactants and products in the flask?

Problem 130IE A 6.53-g sample of a mixture of magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate is treated with excess hydrochloric acid. The resulting reaction produces 1.72 L of carbon dioxide gas at 28 °C and 743 torr pressure.(a) Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions that occur between hydrochloric acid and each component of the mixture. (b) Calculate the total number of moles of carbon dioxide that forms from these reactions. (c) Assuming that the reactions are complete, calculate the percentage by mass of magnesium carbonate in the mixture.
