What is the molar mass, in grams, of a mole of an element equal to?

1 answer:

6 0

Technically molar mass cannot be in grams, it is in grams per mole. and it refers to a specific number of molecules of a substance, therefore substances have different molar masses because the elements have different weights. for example having 10 water molecules would be a lot heavier than having 10 air molecules

Answer: The partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 5.57 bar

V = Volume of the gas = 2.19 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 298 K

R = Gas constant = $0.0831\text{ L bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = Total number of moles = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.57bar\times 2.19L=n\times 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{5.57\times 2.19}{0.0831\times 298}=0.493mol$

To calculate the mole fraction of carbon dioxide, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_{A}=p_T\times \chi_{A}$ ........(1)

where,

$p_A$ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.318 bar

$p_T$ = total pressure = 5.57 bar

$\chi_A$ = mole fraction of carbon dioxide = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.318bar=5.57bar\times \chi_{CO_2}\\\\\chi_{CO_2}=\frac{0.381}{5.57}=0.0571$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

We are given:

Moles of nitrogen gas = 0.221 moles

Mole fraction of nitrogen gas, $\chi_{N_2}=\frac{0.221}{0.493}=0.448$

Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen gas by using equation 1, we get:

Mole fraction of oxygen gas = (1 - 0.0571 - 0.448) = 0.4949

Total pressure of the system = 5.57 bar

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$p_{O_2}=5.57bar\times 0.4949\\\\p_{O_2}=2.76bar$

Hence, the partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

How are saturated and supersaturated solutions similar?

Serggg [28]

Answer:

They are similar in sense that both cannot dissolve any more solid unless heat or other factors are added. For eg if a solution is saturated it can no longer dissolve the given substance. But if the solution is heated, the solid will dissolved this is now said to be supersaturated.

Which factors affect a river's load?

Marizza181 [45]

To answer the question that is: "which factors affect a river's load", we have to understand that all the things mentioned are important. All these options (river's slope, streambed shape and volume of flow) affect the amount of energy that the river has to spend and the way the river spend that energy, so, it is right to mark the alternative d) all of the above.
