A mixture of carbon dioxide and helium gases is maintained in a 7.91 L flask at a pressure of 1.42 atm and a temperature of 33 °

Crank

Answer:

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Volume of the flask = 7.91 L

Total Pressure = 1.42 atm

Temperature = 33 °C

Mass of CO2 = 8.25 grams

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate total number moles of gas

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ p = the pressure = 1.42 atm

⇒ V = the volume = 7.91 L

⇒ n= the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L* atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 33 °C = 306 Kelvin

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (1.42*7.91)/(0.08206 * 306)

n = 0.447 moles

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate moles of CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / Molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 8.25 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.1875 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of Helium

Moles Helium = total moles of gas - moles of CO2

Moles Helium = 0.447 - 0.1875 = 0.2595 moles of helium

<u>Step 5: </u> Calculate mass of helium

Mass of helium = moles of helium * molar mass of helium

Mass of helium = 0.2595 moles * 4 g/mol

Mass of helium = 1.038 grams

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium

Why do doctors worry more about a fever of a couple of degrees Celsius than a fever of a couple of degrees Fahrenheit

weeeeeb [17]

Because Celcius is a larger amount than Fahrenheit. The units are farther apart.

Phenolphthalein has a pKa of 9.7 and is colorless in its acid form and pink in its basic form. calculate [In-}/{HIn} for the fol

zvonat [6]

Answer:

1.58x10⁻⁵

2.51x10⁻⁸

0.0126

63.10

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein acts like a weak acid, so in aqueous solution, it has an acid form HIn, and the conjugate base In-, and the pH of it can be calculated by the Handerson-Halsebach equation:

pH = pKa + log[In-]/[HIn]

pKa = -logKa, and Ka is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation of the acid. [X] is the concentrantion of X. Thus,

i) pH = 4.9

4.9 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = - 4.8

[In-]/[HIn] = $10^{-4.8}$

[In-]/[HIn] = 1.58x10⁻⁵

ii) pH = 2.1

2.1 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = -7.6

[In-]/[HIn] = $10^{-7.6}$

[In-]/[HIn] = 2.51x10⁻⁸

iii) pH = 7.8

7.8 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = -1.9

[In-]/[HIn] = $10^{-1.9}$

[In-]/[HIn] = 0.0126

iv) pH = 11.5

11.5 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = 1.8

[In-]/[HIn] = $10^{1.8}$

[In-]/[HIn] = 63.10

Glycerol boils at a high temperature than water. What does this indicate about the attractive forces of glycerol?

forsale [732]

Glycerol attractive forces are great than water. The harder to break, the more energy is needed.
