A 1.50 liter flask at a temperature of 25°C contains a mixture of 0.158 moles of methane, 0.09 moles of ethane, and 0.044 moles
jok3333 [9.3K]

This can be solved using Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. This law states that the total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture as if it exist alone in a container. In order to solve, we need the partial pressures of the gases given. Calculations are as follows:<span>

P = P1 + P2 + P3
<span>P = (0.08206 atm.L/mol.K)( 298.15 K)/1.50) x (0.158 mole + 0.09 mol + 0.044 mol) = <span>4.76 atm</span></span></span>

Why is the layer of fat on top
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The solid layer of fat on top protects the broth from freezer burn. When I take the broth out of the freezer I use a butter knife to pop the fat cap off before defrosting. I do save chicken fat from soup and use it instead of butter or olive oil when I cook onions.

When a horn is moving away from an observer the sound waves from it will pass by the observer____ frequently, causing the pitch
xxMikexx [17]
The answer: less frequency, causing the pitch to be lowered. 

This is known as the Doppler effect. When you have an object that is producing sound while moving, the side that it is moving towards to will have waves that will become a bit more squished together, while the other side that it is moving away from will have waves that are spaced a bit more apart from each other. The only determining factor in this is the magnitude of the speed, so the faster the object is moving towards or away from you, then the more severe pitch change the object will have.
In this case, it's just asking in general what would happen if the horn was moving away from you while it was giving off sound waves. Therefore, since it is moving away from you, its sound waves are a bit further apart, resulting in a lowered frequency and pitch.
