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

17. Write the molecular balanced equation for the recovering of copper metal. 18. Write the complete ionic balanced equation for
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

17. it goes from solid copper to aqueous copper:

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

18. complete ionic:

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

19. net ionic, must include only reacting species, so

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

20. this type of reaction is dissolution reaction(redox reaction)

copper reduced from Cu²⁺ to Cu.

A lab technician mixes a 0.730 M solution of sodium bromide (NaBr) and water. The volume of the solution is 135 milliliters.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

We need 10.14 grams of sodium bromide to make a 0.730 M solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of the sodium bromide (NaBr) = 0.730 M

Volume of the sodium bromide solution = 135 mL = 0.135 L

Molar mass sodium bromide (NaBr) = 102.89 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles NaBr

Moles NaBr = Molarity NaBr * volume NaBr

Moles NaBr = 0.730 M * 0.135 L

Moles NaBr = 0.09855 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass of NaBr

Mass NaBr = 0.09855 moles * 102.89 g/mol

Mass NaBr = 10.14 grams

We need 10.14 grams of sodium bromide to make a 0.730 M solution
