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

How could you measure the average kinetic energy of a group of particles
dexar [7]

Answer:

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. Thermal energy measures the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The greater the motion of particles, the higher a substance's temperature and thermal energy.

How did Rutherford's gold foil experiment show that Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was
Ket [755]

Answer:

He blasted alpha rays at the gold foils. The Alpha rays are charged positive. When he blasted them the protons deflected and changed the course of them and the electrons surrounding the atom let them through. In the plum pudding model they were supposed to be sprinkled on which was clearly wrong according to that experiment.

elixir [45]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question

Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of  approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5  billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Answer : 140 billion years

Explanation:

Given that :

U-238   h1/2 = 4.5 billion years

U-235   h1/2 = 700 million years

At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount

Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half

T =   ?    N'2 = N1 / 2

we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h   where h = time / half-life time

attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem

Viefleur [7K]
In order for the molecule to change phase from liquid to gas and evaporates, it needs to overcome the force from other molecules around it. as the force bigger evaporation gets harder. so e has the highest force and higher boiling point.

Write the correct ionic formula when given two elements that bond ionically.
Tanzania [10]
Answer:
            Ionic bond is formed by the opposite ions attraction between the 2 atoms in an ionically bonded compound. The two ions i.e. Cation and Anions are formed by oxidation and reduction reactions respectively. General Ionic formula is as follow,

                                             Mⁿ⁺ + Nⁿ⁻   →  MN
where;
           Mⁿ⁺   =  Cation

           Nⁿ⁻   =  Anion

           MN  =  Salt

Explanation:
                   Ionic bond is the electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged Anions. These forces are very stronger resulting in increasing several physical properties of Ionic compounds like melting point and boiling point e.t.c.

Example:

Sodium Chloride:
                           NaCl is formed by Na⁺ cation and Cl⁻ anion as follow,

Oxidation of Na;

                                      2 Na  →  2 Na⁺  +  2 e⁻
Reduction of Cl₂;

                                    Cl₂  +  2 e⁻  →  2 Cl⁻

Crystal Lattice formation is as follow,

                                  Na⁺  +  Cl⁻   →  NaCl
