Question

For a 110-g sample of fused copper catalyst, a volume of 8.4 !! 103 mm3 of nitrogen (measured at standard temperature and pressure, 0 !!C and 1 atm) is required to form a monolayer upon condensation. Calculate the surface area of the catalyst. (Take the area covered by a nitrogen molecule as 0.162 nm!! and recall that, for an ideal gas, pV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of the gas.) Express your answer to five significant figures. S = m!!/kg

Step 1

Given: - Volume (V) = 8.4 x 10^6 mm^3 = 8.4 x 10^-3 L - Pressure (P) = 1 atm - Temperature (T) = 0°C = 273 K - Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K Using the formula PV = nRT, we can rearrange it to find the number of moles (n): n = PV / RT n = (1 atm * 8.4 x Show more…
