A mixture of CO2 and Kr weighs 41.0 g and exerts a pressure of 0.729 atm in its container. Since Kr is expensive, you wish to re

cover it from the mixture. After the CO2 is completely removed by absorption with NaOH(s), the pressure in the container is 0.193 atm. (a) How many grams of CO2 were originally present? (b) How many grams of Kr can you recover?

Answer:

a) 24.31 g

b) 16.69 g

Explanation:

A mixture of CO2 and Kr weighs 41.0 g and exerts a pressure of 0.729 atm in its container.

After the CO2 is completely removed by absorption with NaOH(s), the pressure in the container is 0.193 atm.

Therefore, Pressure of Kr = 0.193 atm

Pressure of CO2 = 0.729 - 0.193 = 0.536 atm

Their mole fraction can be also determined as follows:

CO2 = $\frac{Presssure due to CO_2}{Total pressure}$

CO2 = $\frac{0.536}{0.729}$

= 0.735

Also; for Kr ; we have

Kr = $\frac{0.193}{0.729}$

Kr = 0.265

Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of Kr = 83.78 g/mol

Mass of CO2 = mole fraction * molar mass = 0.735 * 44 = 32.34

Mass of Kr = 0.265 * 83.78 = 22.20

Total mass = 32.34 +22.20 = 54.54

The Percentage of gas in mixture is as follows:

% CO2 = $\frac{32.34}{54.54}$ * 100 %

= 0.5930

= 59.30%

(a) Mass of CO2 in mixture = 0.5930* 41 g = 24.31 g

% Kr = $\frac{22.20}{ 54.54}$ * 100 %

= 0.407

= 40.70 %

(b) Mass of Kr in mixture = 0.407 * 41 = 16.69 g

How many electrons would be transferred in either a voltaic or electrolytic cell that uses the following half reactions

omeli [17]

Answer:

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

Explanation:

$Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V$

$Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^- \rightarrow Mg (s),E^o = -2.37 V$

The substance having highest positive reduction $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

Reduction : cathode

$Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V$ ..[1]

Oxidation: anode

$Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^-,E^o = 2.37 V$ ..[2]

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{red,cathode}-E^o_{red,anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.036V-(-2.37 V)=2.334 V$

The overall reaction will be:

2 × [1] + 3 × [2] :

$2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)+6e^-\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)+6e^-$

Electrons on both sides will get cancelled :

$2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)$

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

In addition to canyons,what other kinds of geologic formations might separate similar organisms

serg [7]

The people of Finland, who are secluded to some degree from the rest of the world by water, develop certain diseases due to the lack of genetic material from other ethnicities and races.

Physical barriers prevent fish from one stream from mating with fish from another stream, leading to a less varied gene pool among those fish. As time passes, the fish become unable to successfully mate with other groups.

A mountain range prevents two types of goat from mating, causing the gene pool to become less varied.<span>

10. (2 points) What is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent. A) calisthenics B) bumping C) dissolution D)

Triss [41]

Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.

Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.

The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.

Example are:

1.Stirring of sugar in water.

In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.

2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute

A 2.684-g sample of zinc oxide was reduced by hydrogen gas, resulting in 2. 156 g of pure zinc metal. Determine the empirical fo

Afina-wow [57]

The empirical formula of the initial zinc oxide is ZnO.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound represents the ratios of elements in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of the atoms.

It is the lowest whole number ratio of the element in the compound.

<h3>How to find out the empirical formula?</h3>

Find out the given masses and molar masses of the elements

The molar mass of Zn = 65 gmol⁻¹

Given the mass of Zn = 2.156 g

The molar mass of Oxygen = 16 gmol⁻¹

The mass of Oxygen = Mass of a sample of zinc oxide - the mass of zinc metal

= (2.684 - 2.156) g

= 0.528 g

Find the number of moles of the elements in the compound

The number of moles is given by

$n = \frac{m}{M}$

where m = given mass and

M = Molar mass

Number of moles of Zinc = $\frac{2.156}{65}$ = 0.033 moles

Number of moles of Oxygen = $\frac{0.528}{16}$ = 0.033 moles

Find the simplest ratios of the elements in the compound. To find the ratios simply divide the number of moles by the lowest number of moles obtained.

Here, the number of moles is the same for both elements. Hence, the simplest ratio for Zn:O is 1:1.

Therefore, the empirical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.

SOMEONE PLS HELP

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

<h2>464.85 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we're finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\$

100.7 kPa = 100,700 Pa

95.1 kPa = 95,100 Pa

We have

$V_2 = \frac{100700 \times 439}{95100} = \frac{44207300}{95100} \\ = 464.8506...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>464.85 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
