If air is 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen by volume what is density

1 answer:

5 0

1 mol of any gas or mix of gases at STP conditions will have a volume of 22.4 L. Since the problem doesn’t said what are the conditions I will asume that are STP condition and the volume of one mole of the mix will have a volume of 22.4 L.

You may know that density is
D=m/v

In one mole of air I will have 80% of Nitrogen (N2) and 20% oxygen (O2).

So the mass of one mole of air will be

14 x2x0.80+16x2x0.20 = 22.4 g + 6.4 g = 28.8 g

D= 28.8/22.4 = 1.28 g/L

Of course if the temperature is higher the density will be smaller because the volume of one mole will be bigger and viceversa if the temperature decrease. Also if the pressure is different than one atm the volume of a mol will change.

There are always attractive forces between a collection of atoms or molecules which may not be negligible as suggested by the ki

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Negligible

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of gases, the degree of intermolecular interaction between gases is minimal and gas molecules tend to spread out and fill up the volume of the container.

If the attraction between gas molecules increases, then the volume of the gas decreases accordingly. This is because, gas molecules become highly attracted to each other.

This intermolecular attractive force may be so strong, such that the actual volume of the gas become negligible compared to the volume of the container.

A cat travels 240 meters in 30 seconds, and a sprinter travels 100 meters in 9.5 seconds. Which is traveling faster, the cat or

joja [24]

Answer:

The cat

Explanation:

1) You need to find how many meters per second each thing is sprinting, so you can divide the meters by seconds for each.

$\frac{240}{30} = 8 m/s\\\frac{100}{9.5} = around 10.5 m/s$

2) Per second, the sprinter is able to achieve 8 meters, while the cat can do around 10.5 meters. 10.5 is greater than 8, making the cat faster than the sprinter.

We can also perform a similar calculation for the mass defect and binding energy for nuclear reactions using the masses of the a

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

$\frac{235}{92} U + \frac{1}{0} n ---->\frac{137}{52} Te + \frac{97}{40} Zr +2\frac{1}{0} n$

Hence the mass defect is;

[235.04393 + 1.00867] - [ 136.92532 + 96.91095 + 2(1.00867)]

= 236.0526 - 235.85361

= 0.19899 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.19899 amu = 0.19899 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 2.97 * 10^-11 J

ii) $\frac{10}{5}B + \frac{1}{0}n-----> \frac{7}{3} Li + \frac{4}{2} He + Energy$

Hence the mass defect is;

[10.01294 + 1.00867] - [7.01600 + 4.00260]

= 11.02161 - 11.0186

= 0.00301 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.00301 amu = 0.00301 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 4.5 * 10^-13 J
