Answer:

Mass percentage of gold : 33.35%

Mass percentage of silver: 62.80%

Mass percentage of copper : 3.85%

Explanation:

N=n\times N_A

Where : N = Number of atoms

n = moles

N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} = Avogadro number

Let the total atoms present in the alloy be 100.

Atom percentage of silver = 44.9%

Atoms of of silver = 44.9% of 100 atoms = 44.9

Atomic weight of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 silver atoms = 107.87 g/mol ×  44.9 = 4,843.363 g/mol

Atom percentage of gold= 46.3%

Atoms of of gold = 46.3% of 100 atoms = 46.3

Atomic weight of gold = 196.97 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 gold atoms = 196.97 g/mol × 46.3 = 9,119.711 g/mol

Atom percentage of copper = 8.8 %

Atoms of of copper = 8.8% of 100 atoms = 8.8

Atomic weight of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 copper atoms = 63.55 g/mol ×  8.8 = 559.24 g/mol

Total mass of an alloy :4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol

Mass percentage of gold :

\frac{4,843.363 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=33.35 \%

Mass percentage of silver:

\frac{9,119.711 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=62.80\%

Mass percentage of copper :

\frac{559.24 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=3.85\%

Answer: The pressure of the He is 2.97 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

p_{total}=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}+p_{He}.

Given : p_{total} =total pressure of gases = 6.50 atm

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of Nitrogen = 1.23 atm

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen = 2.3 atm

p_{He} = partial pressure of Helium = ?

putting in the values we get:

6.50atm=1.23atm+2.3atm+p_{He}  

p_{He}=2.97atm

The pressure of the He is 2.97 atm
