Answer:
The mole fraction of N₂ is 0.26.
Explanation:
The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:
PT = PA + PB
This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.
Dalton's partial pressure law can also be expressed in terms of the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture. The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the number of moles of all the components present.
So in a mixture of two or more gases, the partial pressure of gas A can be expressed as:
PA = XA * PT
In this case:
- PA= PN₂= 300 torr
- XA=XN₂= ?
- PT= 1.50 atm= 1140 torr (being 1 atm= 760 torr)
Replacing:
300 torr= XN₂*1140 torr
Solving:
XN₂= 0.26
<u><em>The mole fraction of N₂ is 0.26.</em></u>
Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.
Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.
