D.

If we take a sample of 100g of the given compound, we should find that it contains 74.1g of oxygen and 25.9g of nitrogen. The molar masses of oxygen and nitrogen are approximately 16.0g/mol and 14.0g/mol respectively. To find the appropriate number of moles of oxygen and nitrogen found in one mole of the given compound, we divide the mass of the sample by the molar mass of each substance.

For oxygen: 74.1g/(16.0g/mol) = 4.63125 mol (round up to 5 mol)

For nitrogen: 25.9g/(14.0g/mol) = 1.85 mol (round up to 2 mol)

Therefore one mole of this compound contains 2 moles of nitrogen and 5 moles of oxygen.

74.1% + 25.9% = 100%

we assume 100g of sample

100%-----------100g
25.9% N ------------x
x 25.9g N

100g - 25.9g = 74.1g O

mass of N = 14g
mass of O = 16g

1 mole of N ------------ 14g
x moles of N -------------- 25.9g
x = 1.85 moles of N

1 moles of O -------------- 16g
x moles of O ----------------- 74.1g
x = 4.6 moles of O

N : O = 1.85 : 4.6
we share by the smallest value
N : O = 1.85 : 4.6 ||:1.85
N : O = 1 : 2.4 ≈ 1 : 2

A mixture of methane and carbon dioxide gases contains methane at a partial pressure of 431 mm Hg and carbon dioxide at a

KatRina [158]

Answer:

XCH₄ = 0.461

XCO₂ = 0.539

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Partial pressure of methane (pCH₄): 431 mmHg

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂): 504 mmHg

Step 2: Calculate the total pressure in the container

We will sum both partial pressures.

P = pCH₄ + pCO₂

P = 431 mmHg + 504 mmHg = 935 mmHg

Step 3: Calculate the mole fraction of each gas

We will use the following expression.

Xi = pi / P

XCH₄ = pCH₄/P = 431 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.461

XCO₂ = pCO₂/P = 504 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.539

Why is it that when you have a strong acid and weak base your equivalence point is less than 7

yKpoI14uk [10]

Explanation:

When a strong acid, say $HCl$ reacts which a weak base, say $NH_3$ , the reaction is shown below as:-

$\text{NH}_3 (\text{aq}) + \text{HCl} (\text{aq}) \rightarrow {\text{NH}_4^+}(\text{aq}) + \text{Cl}^-(\text{aq})$

The salt further reacts with water as shown below:-

$\text{NH}_4^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ + \text{NH}_3$

Formation of $\text{H}_3\text{O}^+$ lowers the pH value of the solution as more hydrogen ions leads to less pH.

For this heterogeneous system 2 A ( aq ) + 3 B ( g ) + C ( l ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 D ( s ) + 3 E ( g ) the concentrations and pressures at

maw [93]

Answer:

$2.55*10^{11$

Explanation:

Equation for the heterogeneous system is given as:

$2A_{(aq)} + 3 B_{(g)} + C_{(l)}$ ⇄ $2D_{(s)}$ $+$ $3E_{(g)}$

The concentrations and pressures at equilibrium are:

$[A] = 9.68*10^{-2}M$

$P_B = 9.54*10^3Pa$

$[C]=14.64M$

$[D]=10.11M$

$P_E=9.56*10^4torr$

If we convert both pressure into bar; we have:

$P_B = 9.54*10^3Pa$

$P_B = (9.54*10^3)*\frac{1}{10^5} bar$

$P_B=9.54*10^{-2}bar$

$P_E=9.56*10^4torr$

1 torr = 0.001333 bar

$9.54*10^4 *0.001333 = 127.5 bar$

$K=\frac{[P_E]^3}{[A]^2[P_B]^3}$

$K=\frac{(127.5)^3}{(9.68*10^{-2})^2(9.54*10^{-2})^3}$

$K=2.55*10^{11$
