Problem with The volume of a gas, and a bizzare Lewis Structure
« on: November 28, 2009, 01:55:37 PM »
A 16.5 g sample of Al reacts with excess HCL, and the resulting Hydrogen is collected over water at 25 Centigrade at a total pressure of 744 Torr by the following balanced equation:

2Al(s) + 6HCL(aq) = 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g)

If vapor pressure at that temp. is 23.8 Torr., what is the total volume of H2 collected in Liters?

Bonus Question:
Lewis Structure for N2O+ (That's right, a nitrous oxide cation)  Is my idea of there being a free radical at Oxygen legitimate?  If not, what should I do?

This idea is legitimate for a neutral NO2 molecule, but what about for the cation where you have to remove an electron from your overall lewis structure? Draw out the possibilities and calculate the formal charges for this case.

You have again not shown your effort. You have to try to solve by yourself.
