Question

Answer the following questions about C₂H4O.

(a) C₂H4O (molar mass 44.06g/mol) is a gas at room temperature and can be harmful at concentrations above
8.17 x 10-6M. What is the maximum mass of this compound that can safely be present in a room with a volume of
3.00 x 105L?

Answer 1

Answer:To calculate the maximum mass of C₂H4O that can safely be present in a room with a volume of 3.00 x 10^5 L, we need to convert the concentration limit of 8.17 x 10^-6 M to mass. The molar mass of C₂H4O is 44.06 g/mol. Therefore, the maximum mass of C₂H4O that can safely be present in the room is:

8.17 x 10^-6 M x 44.06 g/mol x 3.00 x 10^5 L = 10.9 g

So, the maximum mass of C₂H4O that can safely be present in the room is 10.9 g.
