The total pressure of a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen

Chemistry

Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

Answer:

The composition of the original mixture in molepercent is 80% of H₂ and 20% of O₂.

Explanation:

We need to combine the ideal gas law (PV = nRT) and Dalton's law of partial pressure (Pt = Pa +Pb +Pc+...).

The total pressure of the mixture is Pt = P (H₂) + P (O₂)

The number of moles can be found by Pt = nt RT/V, in which nt = n (H₂) +n (O₂).

If Pt is 1 atm, nt is 1.0 mol.

Now we need to consider the chemical reaction below:

H₂ + 0.5O₂ → H₂O

This shows that for each mol of O₂ we need two mol of H₂.

We know that the remaining gas is pure hydrogen and that its pressure is 0.4atm. Since PV = nRT, by the end of the reaction, 0.4 mol of H₂ remains in the system.

This means that in the beginning we have n mol of H₂, and when x mol of H₂ reacts with 0,5x mol of O₂, 0.4 mol of H₂ reamains.

If we have 1 mol in the begining and 0.4 mol in the end, the total amount of gas that reacted (x + 0.5X) is equal to 0.6 mol

x + 0.5X = 0.6 mol ∴ x = 0.6 mol / 1.5 ∴ x = 0.4 mol

0.4 mol of H₂ reacted with 0.2 mol of O₂ and 0.4 mol of H₂ remained as excess.

Therefore, in the beginning we had 0.8 mol of H₂ and 0.2 mol of O₂. Thus the molepercent of the mixture is 80% of H₂ and 20% of O₂.

An interaction between atoms that holds them together by reducing the potential energy of their electrons
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Chemical bond

Explanation:

Chemical bond is refer to as the interaction existing between two or more atoms, ions or molecules that holds them together by decreasing the potential energy of their electrons. Chemical bond leads to the formation of chemical compounds. Chemical bond may occur as a result of the electrostatic force of attraction that exists between oppositely charged ions such as those in ionic bonds or when electrons are shared such as those in covalent bonds.

A compound contains 64 g of o and 8 g of h. what is the empirical formula for this compound?
kaheart [24]
The empirical formula is obtained by calculating the mole ratios of the atoms in the elements.
The number of moles =mass/ R.A.M
For hydrogen, no. of moles=8/1=8
For oxygen, no. Of moles=64/16=4
The tabular solution is attached.
