Based on Dalton's Law, for a mixture of gases, the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressure of each gas.

Partial pressure (p) of each gas is related to the total pressure (P) as follows:

p = X * P----------(1)

where X is the mole fraction of that gas

X = moles of a particular gas/total number of moles of all gases in the mixture--------------(2)

Step 1: Calculate the moles of each gas

Mass of methane, CH4 = 11 g

Mass of nitrogen, N2 = 1.4 g

Mass of carbon dioxide, CO2 = 16 g

# moles of CH4 = 11 g/16 gmol-1 = 0.6875

# moles of N2 = 1.4/28 = 0.05

# moles of CO2 = 16/44 = 0.3636

Total moles = 0.6875+0.05+0.3636 = 1.1011

Step2: Calculate mole fractions of each gas

Based on equation (2)

X(CH4) = 0.6875/1.1011 = 0.6244

X(N2) = 0.05/1.1011 = 0.0454

X(CO2) = 0.3636/1.1011 = 0.3302

Step 3: Calculate the total pressure

Based on ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

given that;

V = 28 L

n = total moles = 1.1011

R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/mol-K

Since temp T is not given, let us consider room temperature of 25 C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Now, P = nRT/V = 1.011*0.0821*298/28 = 0.962 atm

Step 3: Calculate partial pressures

Based on equation:

p(CH4) = 0.6244*0.962 atm = 0.601 atm

P(N2) = 0.0454*0.962 atm = 0.044 atm

P(CO2) = 0.3302*0.962 atm = 0.318 atm

If 9.85 grams of copper metal react with 31.0 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of copper nitrate can be formed and how ma

The balanced chemical reaction:

<span>Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
</span>
We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.

9.85 g Cu ( 1 mol Cu / 63.55 g Cu ) = 0.15 mol Cu
31.0 g AgNO3 ( 1 mol AgNO3 / 169.87 g AgNO3 ) = 0.18 mol AgNO3

The limiting reactant is AgNO3.

0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu(NO3)2 / 2 mol AgNO3 ) (187.56 g / 1 mol) =16.88 g Cu(NO3)2

0.15 mol Cu - 0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu / 2 mol AgNo3) = 0.06 mol Cu excess

<span>0.06 mol Cu ( 63.55 g Cu / 1 mol Cu ) = 3.81 g Cu excess</span>

3. A student carries out the clay-catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol starting with 10 moles of cyclohexanol and obtains 500 m
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

49.45~%

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the <u>chemical reaction</u>:

C_6H_1_2O~->~C_6H_1_0~+~H_2O

So, if we start with <u>10 mol of cyclohexanol</u> (C_6H_1_2O) we will obtain 10 mol of cyclohexanol (C_6H_1_0). So, we can calculate the grams of cyclohexanol if we<u> calculate the molar mass:</u>

(6*12)+(10*1)=82~g/mol

With this value we can calculate the grams:

10~mol~C_6H_1_0\frac{82~g~C_6H_1_0}{1~mol~C_6H_1_0}=820~g~C_6H_1_0

Now, we have as a product 500 mL of C_6H_1_0. If we use the <u>density value</u> (0.811 g/mL). We can calculate the grams of product:

500~mL\frac{0.811~g}{1~mL}=405.5~g

Finally, with these values we can calculate the <u>yield</u>:

%~=~\frac{405.5}{820}x100~=~49.45%%= (405.5/820)*100 = 49.45 %

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
