<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

What do the coefficients located before certain molecules in each chemical equation represent?
olga55 [171]
It represents the number of moles required of that molecule to balance the chemical equation, which means to have the reaction chemically happen and goes to completion.

For example:
CH4 + O2 --> H2O + CO2     that is not balanced

with the coefficients located
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2    now with the coefficients the number of oxygen and hydrogen on each side are equal

What minimum energy is required to excite a vibration in HF?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The energy of a vibrating molecule is quantized much like the energy of an electron in the hydrogen atom. The energy levels of a vibrating molecule are given by the equation: En=(n+21)hv where n is a quantum number with possible values of 1, 2, ... and v is the frequency of vibration.

Explanation:

hope it helps.

have a wonderful day!

Which element, when combined with Iodine, would most likely form an ionic compound?
uranmaximum [27]

In an ionic compound the atoms are linked via ionic bonds. These are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge whereas the atom that accepts electrons gains a negative. This happens in accordance with the octet rule wherein each atom is surrounded by 8 electrons

In the given example:

The valence electron configuration of Iodine (I) = 5s²5p⁵

It needs only one electron to complete its octet.

In the given options:

K = 4s¹

C = 2s²2p²

Cl = 3s²3p⁵

P = 3s²3p³

Thus K can donate its valence electron to Iodine. As a result K, will gain a stable noble gas configuration of argon while iodine would gain an octet. This would also balance the charges as K⁺I⁻ creating a neutral molecule.

Ans: Potassium (K)
