Answer :  The mole fraction and partial pressure of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases are, 0.267, 0.179, 0.554 and 1.54, 1.03 and 3.20 atm respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of CH_4 = 1.79 mole

Moles of CO_2 = 1.20 mole

Moles of He = 3.71 mole

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases.

\text{Mole fraction of }CH_4=\frac{\text{Moles of }CH_4}{\text{Moles of }CH_4+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }He}

\text{Mole fraction of }CH_4=\frac{1.79}{1.79+1.20+3.71}=0.267

and,

\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }CO_2}{\text{Moles of }CH_4+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }He}

\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{1.20}{1.79+1.20+3.71}=0.179

and,

\text{Mole fraction of }He=\frac{\text{Moles of }He}{\text{Moles of }CH_4+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }He}

\text{Mole fraction of }He=\frac{3.71}{1.79+1.20+3.71}=0.554

Thus, the mole fraction of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases are, 0.267, 0.179 and 0.554 respectively.

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases.

According to the Raoult's law,

p_i=X_i\times p_T

where,

p_i = partial pressure of gas

p_T = total pressure of gas  = 5.78 atm

X_i = mole fraction of gas

p_{CH_4}=X_{CH_4}\times p_T

p_{CH_4}=0.267\times 5.78atm=1.54atm

and,

p_{CO_2}=X_{CO_2}\times p_T

p_{CO_2}=0.179\times 5.78atm=1.03atm

and,

p_{He}=X_{He}\times p_T

p_{He}=0.554\times 5.78atm=3.20atm

Thus, the partial pressure of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases are, 1.54, 1.03 and 3.20 atm respectively.

if a cube of butter is heated sot that it becomes softer and drips out of the container ,it is an example of which change in sta
Blababa [14]
Its a change in state of solid to liquid

the reason is that in a solid state the molecules have little  kinetic energy to move and so they have restricted movement and so it remains solid
once heat is applied the molecules gain enough energy to move and so they turn into a liquid and move according to the laws of physics

hope that helps

At 850K, 65L of gas has a pressure of 450kPa. What is the volume (in liters) if the gas is cooled to 430K and the pressure decre
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

V₂ =  45.53 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 850 K

Initial volume = 65 L

Initial pressure = 450 KPa

Final temperature = 430 K

Final pressure = 325 KPa

Final volume = ?

Solution:

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 450 KPa× 65 L × 430 K / 850 K × 325KPa  

V₂ = 12577500 KPa .L. K / 276250 K. KPa

V₂ =  45.53 L

Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) ⇒ Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq)
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is CuSO₄

Explanation:

To answer your question just remember the following information

- A chemical reaction is divided into sections

 reactants and products

 reactants on the left side of the reaction

products on the right side of the reaction

- All the symbols have a meaning

 (s) means that that compound is in solid phase

 (aq) means that that compound is dissolved in solution.

Then, the answer is CuSO₄
