Part A: Three gases (8.00 g of methane, CH_4, 18.0g of ethane, C_2H_6, and an unknown amount of propane, C_3H_8) were added to t

myrzilka [38]

Explanation:

Part A:

Total pressure of the mixture = P = 5.40 atm

Volume of the container = V = 10.0 L

Temperature of the mixture = T = 23°C = 296.15 K

Total number of moles of gases = n

PV = nRT (ideal gas equation)

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{5.40 atm\times 10.0 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 296.15 K}=2.22 mol$

Moles of methane gas = $n_1=\frac{8.00 g}{16 g/mol}=0.5 mol$

Moles of ethane gas = $n_2=\frac{18.0 g}{30 g/mol}=0.6 mol$

Moles of propane gas = $n_3$

$n=n_1+n_2+n_3$

$2.22=0.5 mol +0.6 mol+ n_3$

$n_3= 2.22 mol - 0.5 mol -0.6 mol= 1.12 mol$

Mole fraction of methane = $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2+n_3}=\frac{n_1}{n}$

$\chi_1=\frac{0.5 mol}{2.22 mol}=0.2252$

Similarly, mole fraction of ethane and propane :

$\chi_2=\frac{n_2}{n}=\frac{0.6 mol}{2.22 mol}=0.2703$

$\chi_3=\frac{n_3}{n}=\frac{1.12 mol}{2.22 mol}=0.5045$

Partial pressure of each gas can be calculated by the help of Dalton's' law:

$p_i=P\times \chi_1$

Partial pressure of methane gas:

$p_1=P\times \chi_1=5.40 atm\times 0.2252=1.22 atm$

Partial pressure of ethane gas:

$p_2=P\times \chi_2=5.40 atm\times 0.2703=1.46 atm$

Partial pressure of propane gas:

$p_3=P\times \chi_3=5.40 atm\times 0.5045=2.72 atm$

Part B:

Suppose in 100 grams mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gas.

Percentage of nitrogen = 37.8 %

Mass of nitrogen in 100 g mixture = 37.8 g

Mass of oxygen gas = 100 g - 37.8 g = 62.2 g

Moles of nitrogen gas = $n_1=\frac{37.8 g g}{28g/mol}=1.35 mol$

Moles of oxygen gas = $n_2=\frac{62.2 g}{32 g/mol}=1.94 mol$

Mole fraction of nitrogen= $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\chi_1=\frac{1.35 mol}{1.35 mol+1.94 mol}=0.4103$

Similarly, mole fraction of oxygen

$\chi_2=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{1.94 mol}{1.35 mol+1.94 mol}=0.5897$

Partial pressure of each gas can be calculated by the help of Dalton's' law:

$p_i=P\times \chi_1$

The total pressure is 405 mmHg.

P = 405 mmHg

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas:

$p_1=P\times \chi_1=405 mmHg\times 0.4103 =166.17 mmHg$

Partial pressure of oxygen gas:

$p_2=P\times \chi_2=405 mmHg\times 0.5897=238.83 mmHg$

Which state of matter would be described as having highly energized, charged particles that move extremely fast

uranmaximum [27]

There are four states of matter, solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Their formation is as when solid is heated it converts into liquid, liquid on heating converts into gases and gases on heating converts into plasma.

Plasma:
Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It is the highest energy state of matter.

Composition:
Plasma is made up of negatively charged and positively charged particles.

Result:
The answer to your question is Plasma.

Isobutyl propionate is the substance that provides the flavor for rum extract. combustion of a 1.152 g sample of this carbon-hyd

Ulleksa [173]

Answer;

C7H14O2

Solution;

Isobutyl contains , oxygen, carbon and hydrogen (total mass is 1.152 g)

Mass of carbon = 12/44 × 2.726 g

= 0.743455 g

Mass of Hydrogen = 2/18 × 1.116 g

= 0.124 g

Mass of oxygen = 1.152 - (0.7435 + 0.124)

= 0.2845 g

Moles of carbon ; 0.7435/12 = 0.06196 moles

Moles of hydrogen; 0.124/1 = 0.124 moles

Moles of oxygen; 0.2845/16 = 0.01778 moles

Ratios ; 0.06196/0.01778 ; 0.124/0.01778 : 0.01778/0.01778

= 3.5 : 7.0 : 1

To make them whole numbers ; we multiply the ratios by 2 to get;

(3.5 : 7.0 : 1 )2 = 7 : 14 : 2

Thus, the empirical formula of Isobutyl propionate is C7H14O2
