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 is that the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide I if 3.20 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 2.70 mole of oxygen
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

163.2g

Explanation:

First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction. This is shown below:

4Al + 3O2 —> 2Al2O3

From the question given, were were told that 3.2moles of aluminium was exposed to 2.7moles of oxygen. Judging by this, oxygen is excess.

From the equation,

4moles of Al produced 2moles of Al2O3.

Therefore, 3.2moles of Al will produce = (3.2x2)/4 = 1.6mol of Al2O3.

Now, let us covert 1.6mol of Al2O3 to obtain the theoretical yield. This is illustrated below:

Mole of Al2O3 = 1.6mole

Molar Mass of Al2O3 = (27x2) + (16x3) = 54 + 48 =102g/mol

Mass of Al2O3 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Al2O3 = 1.6 x 102 = 163.2g

Therefore the theoretical of Al2O3 is 163.2g

<span>Answer: option D) Conditions over the oceans change slowly because water takes more time than land to gain or lose heat.

This is because water has a high heat capacity meaning that, with the same amount of heat, it will change its temperature less than what substances with lower heat capacities do.
