Considering the Dalton's partial pressure, the mole fraction of each gas is:

  • x_{oxygen}= 0.14
  • x_{argon}= 0.76
  • x_{xenon}= 0.10

<h3>Dalton's partial pressure</h3>

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure.

So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

P_{T} =P_{1} +P_{2} +...+P_{n}

where n is the amount of gases in the gas mixture.

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

Dalton's partial pressure law can also be expressed in terms of the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture. The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the number of moles of all the components present.

So in a mixture of two or more gases, the partial pressure of gas A can be expressed as:

P_{A} =x_{A} P_{T}

In summary, the total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas.

Mole fraction of each gas

In this case, you know that:

  • P_{oxygen }= 1.25 atm
  • P_{argon}= 6.73 atm
  • P_{xenon}= 0.895 atm
  • P_{T} =P_{oxygen} +P_{argon}+P_{xenon}= 1.25 atm + 6.73 atm + 0.895 atm= 8.875 atm

Then:

  • P_{oxygen} =x_{oxygen} P_{T}
  • P_{argon} =x_{argon} P_{T}
  • P_{xenon} =x_{xenon} P_{T}

Substituting the corresponding values:

  • 1.25 atm= x_{oxygen} 8.875 atm
  • 6.73 atm= x_{argon} 8.875 atm
  • 0.895 atm= x_{xenon} 8.875 atm

Solving:

  • x_{oxygen}= 1.25 atm÷ 8.875 atm= 0.14
  • x_{argon}= 6.73 atm÷ 8.875 atm= 0.76
  • x_{xenon}= 0.895 atm÷ 8.875 atm=0.10

In summary, the mole fraction of each gas is:

  • x_{oxygen}= 0.14
  • x_{argon}= 0.76
  • x_{xenon}= 0.10

What semimetal can form four single covalent bonds.
lesantik [10]

The right answer is Sillicon.

Silicon (Si) is the chemical element of atomic number 14. It is the most abundant element in the earth's crust after oxygen, or 25.7% of its mass, but it is comparatively only present in relatively small quantities in the material constituting the living.

It is a semi-metal, ie it does not meet all the criteria to be defined as being a metal.

It has four free electrons in the last orbit, so it is able to form four covalent bonds. (the carbon can form 4 covalent bonds but it is not a semi-metal)

How many milliliters of ammonium sulfate solution having a concentration of 0.218 M are needed to react completely with 62.6 ml
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

330 mL of (NH₄)₂SO₄ are needed

Explanation:

First of all, we determine the reaction:

(NH₄)₂SO₄  +  2NaOH →  2NH₃  +  2H₂O  +  Na₂SO₄

We determine the moles of base:

(First, we convert the volume from mL to L) → 62.6 mL . 1L/1000 mL = 0.0626L

Molarity . volume (L) = 2.31 mol/L . 0.0626 L = 0.144 moles

Ratio is 2:1. Therefore we make a rule of three:

2 moles of hydroxide react with 1 mol of sulfate

Then, 0.144 moles of NaOH must react with (0.144 .1) /2 = 0.072 moles

If we want to determine the volume → Moles / Molarity

0.072 mol / 0.218 mol/L = 0.330 L

We convert from L to mL → 0.330L . 1000 mL/1L = 330 mL

How many molecules are in 2.50 moles of carbon dioxide?
podryga [215]

Answer:

1.5055×10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole CO₂ = 2.5 moles

Number of molecules CO₂ =?

The number of molecules present in 2.5 moles CO₂ can be obtained as:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of CO₂ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

Therefore,

2.5 mole of CO₂ = 2.5 × 6.022×10²³

2.5 mole of CO₂ = 1.5055×10²⁴ molecules

Thus, 1.5055×10²⁴ molecules are present in 2.5 moles CO₂
