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

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V2 = 66.7 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 400 ml

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = P2 = 6 atm

Process

1.- To solve this problem use Boyle's law

                     P1V1 = P2V2

-solve for V2

                     V2 = P1V1 / P2

-Substitution

                      V2 = (1)(400) / 6

-Simplification

                      V2 = 400 / 6

-Result

                      V2 = 66.7 ml

-Lithium: Lithium got 3 protons, so it atomic number is 3. It is located on the first column of the periodic table, and belonging to the alkali metal. So lithium is a metal. Lithium is highly reactive.
-Neon: It is located on the 18th column of the periodic table, and belong to the noble gases. So Neon is a nonmetal. Neon's reactivity is very low.
-Fluorine: Located on the 17th column of the periodic metal, fluorine is a nonmetal, and belong to the halogen family. Fluorine's reactivity is high.

2)
-Vertical columns of the periodic table are called columns. There is 18 column in the periodic table, and each one represent a chemical family.
-Horizontal rows of the periodic table care called periods. There is 7 periods in the periodic table.
-The number of protons in an atom is that element's atomic number. And since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So if you have the number of electrons, you can still find the atomic number.
-The total of protons and neutrons in an atom is that element's atomic mass. Based on the formula A = Z + N, where A represents the atomic mass, Z the atomic number (number of protons) and N the number of neutrons.
-The elements in group 1 are the most reactive metals. This group is called the Alkali metals. They only have 1 electron in their outer shell which makes them always ready to lose an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 17 are the most reactive nonmetals. This group is called the Halogens, with 7 electrons in their outer shell which makes them always ready to win an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 18 are the most unreactive elements. This group is called the Noble gases. Their outer shell is always full, so it can't do reactions.

Hope this Helps! :)

A sample of a compound made entirely from copper and oxygen was found to have a total mass of 0.143 g the mass of copper in the
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Mass of Oxygen: 0.0159 grams

Moles of Oxygen: 9.94x10^-4

To find the mass of oxygen, subtract the mass of copper from the total mass.

0.143-0.1271=0.0159

There are 0.0159 grams of Oxygen.

To find how many moles there are, divide the given amount of oxygen by the molar mass (atomic mass) of oxygen because that mass is the same as one mole of oxygen.

Molar mass of Oxygen: 16.00

0.0159/16.00=9.94*10^{-4}

There are 9.94*10^-4 moles of Oxygen.
