A 265-mL flask contains pure helium at a pressure of 751 torrs. A second flask with a volume of 465 mL contains pure argon at a

pressure of 727 torrs. If the two flasks are connected through a stopcock and the stopcock is opened, what is the partial pressure of helium?

Answer:

Total Pressure = 745.6 torr

Partial Pressure of He = 272.8 torr

Partial Pressure of Ar =  472.8 torr

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the flask helium = 265 mL

Pressure in the helium flask = 751 torr = 751/760 atm

Volume of the flask argon = 465 mL

Pressure in the argon flask = 727 torr = 727/760 atm

The total pressure exerted by a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual component in a gas mixture.

Step 2: Calculate total volume

Total volume = 265 mL + 465 mL = 730 mL =  0.730 L

Step 3: Boyle's Law:

P1V1=P2V2

⇒ with P1 = total pressure gas exerts in its own flask

 ⇒ with V1 = volume of flask with stopcock valve closed

 ⇒ with P2 = partial pressure of gas exerts on total volume of both flasks when stopcock valve is opened  

 ⇒ with V2 = total volume of both flasks with stopcock valve opened

Helium using Boyle's Law equation from above:

P1V1=P2V2

⇒ with P1 = Pressure of helium = 751 /760 = 0.98816 atm

 ⇒ with V1 = volume of helium = 0.265 L

 ⇒ with P2 = The new partial pressure of helium

 ⇒ with V2 = total volume = 0.730 L

(0.98816 atm)(0.265L)=P2(0.730L)

P2=0.359 atm

Argon using Boyle's Law equation from above:

P1V1=P2V2

⇒ with P1 = Pressure of argon = 727/760 = 0.95658 atm

 ⇒ with V1 = volume of argon = 0.465 L

 ⇒ with P2 = The new partial pressure of argon

 ⇒ with V2 = total volume = 0.730 L

(0.95658 atm)(0.465L)=P2(0.730L)

P2=0.609 atm

Step 4: Convert pressure in atm to torr

Pressure helium = 0.359 atm = 272.8 torr

Pressure argon = 0.609 atm = 472.8 torr

Step 5: Calculate Total pressure

Ptotal = P(He)+P(Ar)

⇒ Pt  = total pressure of the gas mixture

⇒ P(He) = partial pressure of Helium

 ⇒ P(Ar)  = partial pressure of Argon

Pt = 272.8 torr + 472.8 torr

Pt = 745.6 torr

Total Pressure = 745.6 torr

Partial Pressure of He = 272.8 torr

Partial Pressure of Ar =  472.8 torr

The bonds in the reactants of Figure 7-3 contained 372 kJ of chemical energy and the bonds in the products contained 350 kJ of c
satela [25.4K]

Answer: 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.

Explanation: There are two types of reaction on the basis of amount of heat absorbed or released.

1. Endothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which reactants absorb heat to form the products. The energy of the reactants is less than the energy of the products.

2. Exothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which heat is released from the chemical reactions. The energy of the products is less than the reactants.

Sign convention for \Delta H: This value is negative for exothermic reactions and positive for endothermic reactions.

For the given chemical reaction,

Energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants, Hence, this reaction will be a type of exothermic reaction and energy will be released during this chemical change.

Amount of energy released = (350 - 372) kJ = -22kJ

Negative sign symbolizes the energy is being released. So, 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.

What is the wavelength of radiation emitted when an electron goes from the n = 7 to the n = 4 level of the Bohr hydrogen atom? G
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

the wavelength of radiation emitted  is \mathbf{\lambda= 2169.62 \ nm}

Explanation:

The energy of the Bohr's hydrogen atom can be expressed with the formula:

\mathtt{E_n =- \dfrac{13.6\ ev}{n^2}}

For n = 7:

\mathtt{E_7 =- \dfrac{13.6\ ev}{7^2}}

\mathtt{E_7 =-0.27755 \ eV}

For n = 4

\mathtt{E_4=- \dfrac{13.6\ ev}{4^2}}

\mathtt{E_4 =- 0.85\ eV}

The  electron goes from the n = 7 to the n = 4, then :

\mathtt{E_7-E_4 = (-0.27755 - (-0.85) ) \ eV}

\mathtt{= 0.57245\ eV}

Wavelength of the radiation emitted:

\mathtt{\lambda= \dfrac{hc}{0.57245 \ eV}}

where;

hc  = 1242 eV.nm

\mathtt{\lambda= \dfrac{1242 \ eV.nm }{0.57245 \ eV}}

\mathbf{\lambda= 2169.62 \ nm}

What type of relationship does temperature and pressure have?
blsea [12.9K]
Pressure is directly proportional to temperature.

<span>From the ideal gas law- </span>PV= nRT

by making P the subject of the formula, P= nRT/V

<span>This implies that Pressure is directly proportional to temperature, OR, as pressure increases, temperature will increase proportionally.</span>
