A student is naming ionic compounds and names a compound nitrogen baride. Is this the proper name for this compound? Why or why not? No, the cation is named first and the anion second in an ionic compound.

No, this is a molecular compound.

No, a prefix is needed in front of the cation.

Yes

 

Given:

Moles of He = 15

Moles of N2 = 5

Pressure (P) = 1.01 atm

Temperature (T) = 300 K

To determine:

The volume (V) of the balloon

Explanation:

From the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P = pressure of the gas

V = volume

n = number of moles of the gas

T = temperature

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

In this case we have:-

n(total) = 15 + 5 = 20 moles

P = 1.01 atm and T = 300K

V = nRT/P = 20 moles * 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K * 300 K/1.01 atm = 487.7 L

Ans: Volume of the balloon is around 488 L
