What is chemical potential energy?
tigry1 [53]

Chemical potential energy: chemical potential of a species is energy that can be absorbed or released due to a change of the particle number of the given species, in a chemical reaction or phase transition

Gasoline used as kinetic energy: the various chemicals that make up gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car. The release of that energy does two things. Some of the potential energy is transformed into work, which is used to move the car

Dynamite used as kinetic energy: the dynamite being used was most likely made of nitroglycerin. Once the dynamite explodes from a percussion force (then breaking of weak bonds to releasing the raw atom) the energy is then converted to thermal, kinetic, and sound energy.

Trimix 10/50 is a gas mixture that contians 10% oxygen and 50% helium, and the rest is nitrogen. If a tank of trimix 10/50 has a
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

Dalton's law <u>states that the sum of the partial pressures of each gas equals the total pressure of the gas mixture.</u> According to this law,

Pi = xi P

where Pi is the partial pressure of the gas i, xi is the mole fraction of the gas i in the gas mixture and P is the total pressure.

The mole fraction <u>is defined as the quotient between the moles of solute (ni) and the total moles of the mixture (nt)</u>, which is calculated by adding the moles of all its components:

xi = \frac{n_{i} }{n_{t} }

In the Trimix 10/50 mix you have 10% oxygen, 50% helium and 40% nitrogen.

To calculate the total number of moles of the mixture and thus determine the molar fraction of helium, we consider 100 g and calculate the number of moles that represent 10 g of O₂ (n₁), 50 g of He (n₂) and 40 g of N₂ (n₃):

n₁ =  10 g x \frac{1 mol}{31.998 g} = 0.313 mol

n₂ =  50 g x \frac{1 mol}{8.005 g} = 6.246 mol

n₃ =  40 g x \frac{1 mol}{28.013 g} = 1.428 mol

Then the total number of moles (nt) will be:

nt = n₁ + n₂ + n₃ = 0.313 mol + 6.246 mol +1.428 mol

nt = 7,987 mol

Then, the mole fraction of helium (x₂) in the mixture will be,

x₂ =  \frac{6.246 mol}{7.987 mol} = 0.78

and the partial pressure of helium in the mixture, according to Dalton's law, will be:

P₂ = x₂ P = 0.78 x 2.07 x 10⁴ kPa

P₂= 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

So, <u>the partial pressure of helium if a tank of trimix 10/50 has a total pressure of 2.07 x 104 kPa is  1.61 x 10⁴ kPa</u>
