Gunpowder is a heterogenous mixture,

Reason : the composiotion of the mixture is not uniform throughout, the mixture can be separated by a suitable method , and finally , it composes of charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate which is not homogeneous mixture.

At the Henry's Law constant for carbon dioxide gas in water is . Calculate the mass in grams of gas that can be dissolved in of

Dvinal [7]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

At 25°C Henry's Law constant for carbon dioxide gas in water is 0.031 M/atm . Calculate the mass in grams of gas that can be dissolved in 425. mL of water at 25°C and at a partial pressure of 2.92 atm. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of carbon dioxide that can be dissolved is 1.7 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{CO_2}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $0.031M/atm$

$C_{CO_2}$ = molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas = 2.92 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{CO_2}=0.031M/atm\times 2.92 atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=0.0905M$

To calculate the mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Given mass of carbon dioxide = ? g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molarity of solution = $0.0905mol/L$

Volume of solution = 425 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0905mol/L=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}\times 1000}{44g/mol\times 425}\\\\\text{Mass of solute}=\frac{44\times 425\times 0.0905}{1000}=1.7g$

Hence, the mass of carbon dioxide that can be dissolved is 1.7 grams

Approximately 2.5 kg of carbon dioxide gas are produced for every liter of gasoline burned in an automobile gasoline engine. Cal

uranmaximum [27]

125 mile *1gallon/35 mi = 135/35 = (27/7) gallon gasoline

27/7 gallon * 1 L/0.264 gallon = 14.6 L gasoline

14.6 L gasoline * 2.5kg CO2/1L gasoline= 36.5 kg CO2

36.5 kg CO2 * 1lb/0.454 kg = 80.4 lb

Answer: 80.4 lb CO2
