Answer:

total pressure inside the cylinder is 6.7 atm

molar fraction of O_2 is 0.46

mole fraction of Ar is 0.041

Explanation:

To calculate the total pressure inside the vessel we must add the partial pressures of each gas

Partial pressures

3.5 atm N_2\\ 2.8 atm O_2\\ 0.25 atm Ar\\0.15 atm He

P_t= 3.5+2.8+0.25+0.15= 6.7

total pressure inside the cylinder is 6.7 atm

One way to calculate the molar fraction of a gas is with the following formula

X_a=\frac{P_a}{P_t}

X_O_2=\frac{P_O_2}{P_t}\\ X_O_2=\frac{2.8atm}{6.1atm}\\X_O_2=0.46

X_{Ar} =\frac{P_{Ar} }{P_t}\\ X_{Ar} =\frac{0.25atm}{6.1atm}\\X_{Ar} =0.041

The total pressure is 6.7 atm.  The mole fractions of O₂ and Ar are 0.42 and 0.037.

<em>p</em>(Tot) = <em>p</em>(N₂) + <em>p</em>(O₂) + <em>p</em>(Ar) + <em>p</em>(He) = 3.5 atm + 2.8 atm + 0.25 atm + 0.15 atm = 6.7 atm

χ(O₂) = p(O₂)/p(Tot) = 2.8 atm/6.7 atm = 0.42

χ(Ar) = p(Ar)/p(Tot) = 0.25 atm/6.7 atm = 0.037

Percent composition is mass of element over mass of compound times 100. 6.41 + 9.60 = 16.01 g of compound, so % composition of sulfur is 6.41/16.01 x100 or 40.0%. % oxygen is 9.60/16.01 x 100 or 60.0%.

The alkanes are a homologous series of compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen that have the general formula <img src="htt
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Heptane > hexane> 3,3-dimethylpentane > butane

Explanation:

All things being equal, it is expected that the boiling point of the members of the alkane homologous series increase as we move down the group.

Hence for example, butane is expected to have a higher boiling point than ethane. Another important factor we would be considering in this answer is the presence of a branched alkane amongst the answers in the question. A straight-chain alkane will have a boiling point which is higher than that of a branched-chain alkane due to the greater surface area in contact, thus the greater van der Waals forces, between adjacent molecules

Now if we are to rank the compounds on the basis of boiling point, the answer is as follows:

Heptane > hexane > 3,3-dimethylpentane> butane
