What is the mole fraction of each component if 3.9 g of benzene (C6H6) is dissolved in 4.6 g of toluene (C7H8)
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Step 1 of 6

(a)

The mass of benzene is  , so calculate the moles of benzene as follows:



The mass of toluene is, so calculate the moles of toluene as follows:



Now, calculate the mole fraction as follows:





Therefore, the mole fraction of benzene and toluene is  and  respectively.

Step 2 of 6

(b)

The formula to calculate the partial pressure is as follows:



Here,  is the partial pressure of benzene,  is the vapour pressure of pure benzene and  is the mole fraction of benzene.

Vapour pressure of pure benzene at  is.

Substitute the values in the equation as follows:



Therefore, the partial pressure is  .

Step 3 of 6

(c)

Vapor pressure of the solution at 1 atm is  .

When the total pressure of the vapour pressure of the mixture is  at a temperature, then, the solution boils. It corresponds to the boiling point of the solution.

Calculate the total pressure of the solution at  as follows:



Since, the total pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure, the solution will not boil at  .

Calculate the total pressure of the solution at  as follows:



Since, the total pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the solution will boil at  .

Therefore, the boiling point of the solution is  .

Step 4 of 6

(d)

Mole fraction of benzene at  is calculated as follows:



Mole fraction of toluene at  is calculated as follows:



Therefore, the mole fractions of benzene and toluene are  and  respectively.

Step 5 of 6

(e)

Vapor pressure of benzene at  is  .

Partial pressure of benzene is calculated as follows:



Vapor pressure of toluene at  is  .

Partial pressure of toluene is calculated as follows:



Step 6 of 6

Lithium and nitrogen react in a combination reaction to produce lithium nitride: 6Li(s) + N2(g) → 2Li3N(s) How many moles of lit
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

12.5 g of Li are needed in order toproduce 0.60 moles of Li₃N

Explanation:

The reaction is:

6Li(s) + N₂(g) → 2Li₃N(s)

If nitrogen is in excess, the lithium is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 2:6

2 moles of nitride were produced by 6 moles of Li

Then, 0.6 moles of nitride were produced by (0.6 .6)/ 2 = 1.8 moles of Li

Let's convert the moles to mass → 1.8 mol . 6.94 g/ 1mol = 12.5 g of Li

Calculate the change in energy when 75.0 grams of water drops from<br> 31.0C to 21.6.
zysi [14]

Answer: Step 1: Calculate qsur (the surrounding is

usually the water)

qsur = ? J

m = 75.0 g water

c = 4.184 J/g

oC

ΔT = (Tfinal- Tinitial)= (21.6 – 31.0) = -9.4 oC

qsur = m · c · (ΔT)

qsur = (75.0g) (4.184 J/g

oC) (-9.4 oC)

qsur = - 2949.72 J

First, using the information we know that we

must solve for qsur, which is the water. We know

the mass for water, 75.0g, the specific heat of

the water, 4.184 j/g

o

c, and the change in

temperature, 21.6-31.0 = -9.4 oC. Plugging it

into the equation, we solve for qsur.

Step 2: Calculate qsys qsys = - (qsur)

qsys = - (- 2949.72 J)

qsys = + 2949.72

In this case, the qsur is negative, which means

that the water lost energy. Where did it go? It

went to the system. Thus, the energy of the

system is negative, opposite, the energy of the

surrounding.

Step 3: Calculate moles of the substance

that is the system

Given: 12.8 g KCl

Mol system = (g system given)

(molar mass of system)

Mol system = (12.8 g KCl)

(39.10g + 35.45g)

Mol system = 12.8 g KCl

74.55 g

Mol system = 0.172

Here, we solve for the mol in the system by

using the molar mass of the material in the

system.

Step 4: Calculate ΔH ΔH = q sys .

Mol system

ΔH= + 2949.72 J

0.172 mol

ΔH= +17179.81 J/mol or +1.72 x 104

J/mol

Complete combustion of 3.20g of a hydrocarbon produced 9.69g of CO2 and 4.96g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the hydr
vlabodo [156]

Let empirical formula for hydrocarbon is CxHy

it will undergo combustion as

CxHy + (x + y/4) O2  ---> xCO2 + (y/2 )H2O

Given that mass of CO2 produced = 9.69 g

So moles of CO2 produced = 9.69 / 44 = 0.22 moles

So moles of carbon present = 0.22 moles

mass of H2O produced = 4.96 g

Moles of H2O produced = mass / molar mass = 4.96 / 18 = 0.28 moles

So moles of H present = 2 X 0.28 = 0.56 moles

Let us divided the moles of each with lowest value of moles

Moles of Carbon = 0.22 / 0.22 = 1 moles

moles of H = 0.56 / 0.22 = 2.55

Multiplying with two to get whole number

the ratio of carbon and hydrogen will be : C:H = 2:5

empirical formula : C2H5
