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.

Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures?
Naily [24]

Answer:

c. 20.0332 g to 20,0 g

Explanation:

A significant figure is each of the digits of a number that are used to express it to the required degree of accuracy, starting from the first non-zero digit, with the exception of the trailing zeros.

<em>Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures? </em>

a. 109 526 g to 109 500 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 109 500.

b. 0.03954 g to 0.040 g. NO. The rounded number has 2 significant figures:  0.040.

c. 20.0332 g to 20.0 g. YES. The rounded number has 3 significant figures:  20.0.

d. 04.05438 g to 4.054 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 4.054.

e. 103.692 g to 103.7g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 103.7.

Help needed Assignment is due Justify that H2SO4 is Arrhenius acid and KOH is Arrhenius base.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

<u><em>Arrhenius Acid:</em></u>

According to Arrhenius concept, Acids are proton donors.

Since H₂SO₄ have a proton (H⁺ ion) and it can donate it to be made a sulphate ion, So it is an Arrhenius acid.

See the following reaction =>

<u><em>H₂SO₄ + H₂O => HSO₄ + H₃O⁺</em></u>

<u><em>Arrhenius Base:</em></u>

An Arrhenius base is a a proton acceptor.

KOH accepts the proton to to made to KOH₂ and a proton acceptor.

See the following reaction =>

<u><em>KOH + H₂o => KOH₂ + OH⁻</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>
