Moving from Ethanol through Propanol to Butanol the physical properties like boiling points, surface tension and viscosity increases because of the increases in intermolecular interactions between the molecules of given compounds.

Explanation:
                   Ethanol, propanol and butanol all have hydroxyl groups in common, means all have hydrogen bond intractions between their molecules. So, taking the hydrogen bonding interaction constant we are left with only the difference in the number of carbon atoms.
                    Butanol has the greatest physical properties than other two because it has four carbon atom chain. So, as we know the London Dispersion forces or Van der Waal forces increases with increase in molecular size and chain length of hydrocarbon.
                    Therefore, the strength of London forces is greater in butanol than other two while ethanol has the smallest chain comparatively hence, lowest physical properties.

A mixture of N2, O2, and Ar has mole fractions of 0.25, 0.65, and 0.10, respectively. What is the pressure of N2 if the total pr
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas is 0.98 bar.

Explanation:

According to the Dalton's law, the total pressure of the gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the mixture of gases.

P=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}+p_{Ar}

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{N_2}

p_{O_2}=P\times \chi_{O_2}

p_{Ar}=P\times \chi_{Ar}

where,

P = total pressure = 3.9 bar

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen gas  

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen gas  

p_{Ar} = partial pressure of argon gases  

\chi_{N_2} = Mole fraction of nitrogen gas  = 0.25

\chi_{O_2} = Mole fraction of oxygen gas  = 0.65

\chi_{Ar} = Mole fraction of argon gases = 0.10

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{N_2}=3.9 bar\times 0.25 =0.98 bar

Partial pressure of oxygen gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{O_2}=3.9 bar\times 0.65=2.54 bar

Partial pressure of argon gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{Ar}=3.9 bar\times 0.10=0.39 bar
