At 63.5 C the vapor pressure of H2O is 175 torr and that of ethanol is 400 torr. A solution is made by adding equal masses of H2

O and C2H5OH. What is the mole fraction of ethanol in this solution? Sdduming ideal-solution behavior, what is the vapor pressure of the solution at 63.5 C? What is the mole fraction of ethanol in the vapor above the solution?

Answer:

Moel fraction of ethanol in the solution = 0.28

Vapor pressure of the solution = 238 torr

Mole fraction of ethanol in the vapor = 0.47

Explanation:

Let's use 100 g of each substance as a calculus basis. Knowing that the molar mass of water is 18 g/mol and the molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol, the number of moles (n = mass/molar mass) of each one is:

nw = 100/18 = 5.56 mol

ne= 100/46 = 2.17 mol

The total number of moles is 7.73 mol, so the mole fraction of ethanol is

2.17/7.73 = 0.28

The mole fraction of water must be 0.72, so if we assume that the solution is ideal, by the Raoult's law, the solution vapor pressure is the sum of the multiplication of the mole fraction by the vapor pressure of each substance, thus:

P = 0.28*400 + 0.72*175

P = 238 torr

The partial pressure of each substance can be found by the multiplication of the molar fraction by the vapor pressure, thus:

Pw = 0.72*175 = 126 torr

Pe = 0.28*400 = 112 torr

To know the number of moles that is vaporized above the solution, we may use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P/n = RT/V

R is the gas constant, T is the temperature and V is the volume, so they are the same for both water and ethanol, thus

Pw/nw = Pe/ne

126/nw = 112/ne

ne = (112/126)*nw

ne = 0.89nw

So, the mole fraction of ethanol is:

ne/(ne + nw) = 0.89nw/(0.89nw + nw) = 0.89/1.89 = 0.47

Stannum has a body centered tetragonal with lattice constant, a = b = 5.83A and c = 3.18A. If the atomic radius is 0.145 nm, det
Fed [463]

Answer:

the atomic packing factor of Sn is 0.24

Explanation:

a = b = 5.83A and c = 3.18A.

Volume of unit cell = a²c

= (5.83)² *  3.18 * 10⁻²⁴ cm³

= 1.08 * 10⁻²²cm³

Volume of atoms =

2 \times  \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

(∴ BCC, effective number of atom is 2)

Volume of atoms =

2 * \frac{4}{3} *3.14*(0.145*10^-^7cm)^3

= 2.55*10⁻²³cm³

\text {Atomic packing factor}=\frac{\text {volume occupied by atom}}{\text {volume of unit cell }}

=\frac{2.55*10^-^2^3}{1.08*10^-^2^2} \\\\=0.24

<h3>therefore, the atomic packing factor of Sn is 0.24</h3>

Calculate the molar concentration of the Cl⁻ ions in 0.65 M CaCl2(aq), assuming that the dissolved substance dissociates complet
alexandr1967 [171]
The question here is solved using basic chemistry. CaCl2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Cl⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of CaCl2 that dissolves.
CaCl2(s) --> Ca+(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
            [Cl⁻] = 0.65 mol CaCl2/1L × 2 mol Cl⁻ / 1 mol CaCl2 = 1.3 M
The answer to this question is [Cl⁻] = 1.3 M
