Answer:

The formula of the gas produced is $PH_3$ .

Explanation:

Whenever metal phosphides reacts with water they form phosphine gas and alkaline solution of metal hydroxide.

$M_3P_x(s)+3xH_2O(l)\rightarrow 3M(OH)_x(aq)+xPH_3(g)$

So, when sodium phosphide is treated with water it gives phosphine gas and sodium hydroxide solution as a product.

$Na_3P(s)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3NaOH(aq)+PH_3(g)$

The formula of the gas produced is $PH_3$ .

Answer : Option (A) Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.

Solution : Given,

For Accelerator 1 model,

Input energy = 2078.3 J

Wasted energy = 663.1 J

Output energy = 1415.2 J

For Accelerator 2 model,

Input energy = 7690.0 J

Wasted energy = 2337.5 J

Output energy = 5353.5 J

For Accelerator 3 model,

Input energy = 4061.9 J

Wasted energy = 2259.6 J

Output energy = 1802.3 J

Formula used for lowest percentage of energy lost as waste is:

% energy lost as waste = (Total energy wasted / Total input energy ) × 100

For Accelerator 1 model,

% energy lost as waste = $\frac{663.1}{2078.3}\times100$ = 31.90%

For Accelerator 2 model,

% energy lost as waste = $\frac{2337.5}{7690.0}\times100$ = 30.39%

For Accelerator 3 model,

% energy lost as waste = $\frac{2259.6}{4061.9}\times100$ = 55.62%

So, we conclude that the Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.

A mixture of helium and methane gases, at a total pressure of 821 mm Hg, contains 0.723 grams of helium and 3.43 grams of methan

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

For 1: The partial pressure of helium is 376 mmHg and that of methane gas is 445 mmHg

For 2: The mole fraction of nitrogen gas is 0.392 and that of carbon dioxide gas is 0.608

Explanation:

For 1:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For helium:

Given mass of helium = 0.723 g

Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of helium}=\frac{0.723g}{4g/mol}=0.181mol$

For methane gas:

Given mass of methane gas = 3.43 g

Molar mass of methane gas = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of methane gas}=\frac{3.43g}{16g/mol}=0.214mol$

To calculate the mole fraction , we use the equation:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$ .......(2)

To calculate the partial pressure of gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_{A}=p_T\times \chi_{A}$ ......(3)

For Helium gas:

We are given:

$n_{He}=0.181mol\\n_{CH_4}=0.214mol$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\chi_{He}=\frac{0.181}{0.181+0.214}=0.458$

Calculating the partial pressure by using equation 3, we get:

$p_T=821mmHg\\\\\chi_{He}=0.458$

Putting values in equation 3, we get:

$p_{He}=0.458\times 821mmHg=376mmHg$

For Methane gas:

We are given:

$n_{He}=0.181mol\\n_{CH_4}=0.214mol$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\chi_{CH_4}=\frac{0.214}{0.181+0.214}=0.542$

Calculating the partial pressure by using equation 3, we get:

$p_T=821mmHg\\\\\chi_{CH_4}=0.542$

Putting values in equation 3, we get:

$p_{CH_4}=0.542\times 821mmHg=445mmHg$

Hence, the partial pressure of helium is 376 mmHg and that of methane gas is 445 mmHg

For 2:

We are given:

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas = 363 mmHg

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas = 564 mmHg

Total pressure = (363 + 564) mmHg = 927 mmHg

Calculating the mole fraction of the gases by using equation 3:

For nitrogen gas:

$363=\chi_{N_2}\times 927\\\\\chi_{N_2}=\frac{363}{927}=0.392$

For carbon dioxide gas:

$564=\chi_{CO_2}\times 927\\\\\chi_{CO_2}=\frac{564}{927}=0.608$

Hence, the mole fraction of nitrogen gas is 0.392 and that of carbon dioxide gas is 0.608

What information about elements can be collected from the periodic table?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A lot

Explanation:

- As you go down a group, the elements get larger in size

- All of the elements of the same group have the same # of valence electrons

- As you go to the right of a period, the # of electrons in the outermost shell increases

- The elements at the top right of the table have the highest electronegativity

- Groups 13 through 17 are nonmetals

- The last group contains noble gases

etc.
