The volume of a single molecule of water is 2.99x10^-23 mL. For a sample of gaseous water at 1.00 atm and 150 *C, what fraction of the container's volume is occupied by the molecules themselves?
@Abhisar
@nincompoop
formula
nope
try pv=nrt
i said pv=nrt lol
oh laughing out loud
so do we need mols?
wait a min...
1 mole H2O = 18.0 g = 18.0 mL 1 mole H2O = 6.022x10^23 molecules 6.022x10^23 molecules x 2.99x10^-23 mL
V = nRT/P = 1 mole x 0.0821 x 423.15 / 1.00 atm
um that isn't one of the choices. This is a multiple choice question
uh I didn't give you the answer these are the solutions laughing out loud
1 mol H2O = 18 g = 18 mL ?
ya

mL = g
you can prove it using volume, density and mass
I am doubting this because I was taking grams of a solution today and it didn't equal the same as mL
how? displacement?
well since mL=g I can find the mols of H2O and then apply the pv=nrt equation
yes
okay thanks. Are yo familiar with oxidation reduction?
yes
read up though, because it gets a little complicated

i can find the O.N. and determine which compound is the OA or RA, but I can't or have a hard time balancing the equation
? what are those?
oxidation number?
yeah oxidation number
redox is taught in gen chem, there's no need for ochem for it and yes I am taking ochem
oh i thought they taught redox in o chem
it's the same principle and rule of thumb
no redox is fundamental in acids and bases, electrolytes, and half-reaction to galvanic cells (battery)
my final answer is 5.76x10^-23
are you in ochem? because the question you asked is not ochem related
no gen chem2
did you divide mL by 1000 to convert to liter?
no... no i didn't lol
5.76x10^-26
that is fine, as long as you are consistent with units 18.0 mL / 3.472x10^4 mL
can you help me with one more question
do you understand what is going on though?
Mercury is 13.6 times as dense as liquid water. What would be the reading of a water-filled barometer at normal atmospheric pressure, 760. mmHg?
I need to use the same units.
L=g and mL=mg
well not only that, I mean how to approach the question
I knew I was suppose to use pv=nrt, but I was having a hard time figuring out how to obtain mols of H2O. I didn't know the L=g
it is another way of calculating concentration
Okay I can barely keep my eyes open... thanks for you rhelp
I will work out the other question later
@nincompoop @raffle_snaffle pls help http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/53b659d9e4b072c759d926f0
