A flask contains equal masses of f2 and cl2 with a total pressure of 2.00 atm at 298k. What is the partial pressure of cl2 in th
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Partial Pressure of F₂ = 1.30 atm

Partial pressure of Cl₂ = 0.70 atm

Explanation:

Partial pressure for gases are given by Daltons law.

Total pressure of a gas mixture = sum of the partial pressures of individual gases

Pt = P(f₂) + P(cl₂)

Partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure

Let the mass of each gas present be m

Number of moles of F₂ = m/38 (molar mass of fluorine = 38 g/Lol

Number of moles of Cl₂ = m/71 (molar mass of Cl₂)

Mole fraction of F₂ = (m/38)/((m/38) + (m/71)) = 0.65

Mole fraction of Cl₂ = (m/71)/((m/38) + (m/71)) = 0.35 or just 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

Partial Pressure of F₂ = 0.65 × 2 = 1.30 atm

Partial pressure of Cl₂ = 0.35 × 2 = 0.70 atm

A small bug is lying resting when nine ants simultaneously ambush it and begin pulling it in different directions. They are each
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: The bug will remain motionless

Explanation:

According to Newton's first Law of Motion (sometimes called Law of Inertia):

<em>An object at rest or describing a uniform straight line motion (moving at constant velocity), will remain at rest or moving unless an external force is applied to it and changes its state of rest or motion. </em>

In other words:

An object or body will keep its state of motion until an external force changes its state

This means that objects tend to remain in its state of motion, and is the definition of the inertia, as well.

In addition, according to his law, an object in rest can be in equilibrium (net force equals to zero), and a moving object can also be in equilibrium, as long as it keeps a constant velocity.

<h2>This is why the bug, which is at rest will remain at rest, although the ants are simultaneously pulling it in different directions, since the resultant of all these forces is zero.</h2>
