Answer:
- In general, polar solutes are most soluble in highly polar solvents.
Explanation:
The general rule is "like dissolves like" which means that <em>polar solvents </em>dissolve polar (or ionic) <em>solutes</em> and <em>non-polar solvents</em> dissolve non-polar solutes.
In order for a solvent dissolve a solute, the strength of the interacttion (force) between the solute and the solvent units (atoms, molecules, or ions) must be stronger than the strength of the forces that keep together he particles of the pure substances (known as intermolecular forces).
Since the nature of the interactions between the units are electrostatic, the more polar is the solvent the better it will be able to attract and surround the solute particles, keeping them separated and in solution. That mechanism explains why polar solutes will be most soluble in highly polar solvents.
Answer:
PNO₂ = 0.49 atm
PN₂O₄ = 0.45 atm
Explanation:
Let's begin with the equation of ideal gas, and derivate from it an equation that involves the density (ρ = m/V).
PV = nRT
n = m/M (m is the mass, and M the molar mass)
PxM = ρRT
ρ = PxM/RT
With the density of the gas mixture, we can calculate the average of molar mass (Mavg), with the constant of the gases R = 0.082 atm.L/mol.K, and T = 16 + 273 = 289 K
0.94Mavg = 63.9846
Mavg = 68.0687 g/mol
The molar mass of N is 14 g/mol and of O is 16 g/mol, than 
g/mol and 
g/mol. Calling y the molar fraction:
And,
So,
The partial pressure is the molar fraction multiplied by the total pressure so:
PNO₂ = 0.52x0.94 = 0.49 atm
PN₂O₄ = 0.48x0.94 = 0.45 atm
