Gas Laws Corrections: Calculating Volume & Molar Mass

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the volume of nitrogen gas and its molar mass using the ideal gas law. The user correctly calculates the volume of 6.5 g of nitrogen gas at STP to be approximately 5.15 L and at -40.0°C and 65.0 kPa to be around 6.9 L. However, there is confusion regarding the standard temperature and pressure (STP) conditions, which should be 0°C and 101.3 kPa. For the molar mass calculation, the user arrives at approximately 61.5 g/mol, which is validated by other participants in the thread. Overall, the calculations are mostly correct, but attention to proper units and STP definitions is advised.

could u guys tell if I am right with these:
1)
a) calculate the volume occupied by 6.5 g of Nitrogen gas @ STP

\frac{1_{mol}}{28g_{N_2}}=\frac{x_{mol}}{6.5g}

x\sim0.23

\frac{101.3*V}{273*0.23}=8.31

so i got that 6.5 grams of N_2 is ~ 0.23 mol so using the ideal gas law i solved for V getting 5.15 L

b) calculate the volume occupied by this mass of gas at -40.0 C and 65.0 kPa

\frac{65*V}{233*0.23}=8.31

so i did the same thing as "a" except filled in those values of temperature(kelvin) and pressure, i got 6.9 L
2)
this one I am not so sure about:
what is the molar mass of a gas if 375 cm^3 have mass 0.800 g at 85 C and 100.7 kPa?
using the ideal gas law i did:

\frac{100.7*0.375}{358*n}=8.31

n\sim ~ 0.013 mol

then i divided 0.800g by 0.013 mol and got ~ 61.5 grams molar mass
is that right?
thanks in advance

you're using the wrong units, review your text or use common sense and use the correct units, remember standard temperature is 25C
 
no you're thinking standard AMBIENT temp and pressure, these problems deal with STP, being 0C and 101.3 kPa
 
alright, check your answers with the that obtained by using the conversion factor 1mole/22.4L, part a) seems right, the third one seems fine by me

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
