Answer:

X_{hexane} = 0,653

Explanation:

The pressure of the solution is:

P_{solution} = P^0_{hexane}X_{hexane} +  P^0_{pentane}X_{pentane} <em>(1)</em>

246torr = 151X_{hexane} +  425X_{pentane} <em>(1)</em>

Where X is mole fraction of each compound. Also, you can write:

1 = X_{hexane} + X_{pentane} <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

246torr = 151X_{hexane} +  425(1-X_{hexane})

-179 = -274X_{hexane}

X_{hexane} = 0,653

I hope it helps!

How does a change in frequency or amplitude change the sound we hear
suter [353]
<span>Pitch is sometimes defined as the fundamental frequency of a sound wave (i.e. generally, the lowest frequency in a given sound wave). For most practical purposes, this is fine, and pitch and frequency can be thought of as equivalent. On the other hand, for most practical purposes, amplitude can be thought of as volume.However, technically, pitch (and volume) are human perceptions. Thus, our perception of pitch and volume are not solely based on frequency and amplitude respectively, but are based on a combination of both (and even other factors). Frequency overwhelming dictates perceived pitch, but amplitude also does have some small, small effect on our pitch perception, especially when it is very large. For example, a very loud sound can have a different <span>perceived </span>pitch than you would predict from its frequency alone.That all being said, usually these effects are negligible, and pitch can be thought of as equivalent to fundamental frequency.

A 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C. If the final temperature of water is 42.0 °C, what
ludmilkaskok [199]

The initial temperature of the copper piece if a 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C is 345.5°C

<h3>How to calculate temperature?</h3>

The initial temperature of the copper metal can be calculated using the following formula on calorimetry:

Q = mc∆T

mc∆T (water) = - mc∆T (metal)

Where;

  • m = mass
  • c = specific heat capacity
  • ∆T = change in temperature

According to this question, a 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C. If the final temperature of water is 42.0 °C, the initial temperature of the copper is as follows:

400 × 4.18 × (42°C - 24°C) = 240 × 0.39 × (T - 24°C)

30,096 = 93.6T - 2246.4

93.6T = 32342.4

T = 345.5°C

Therefore, the initial temperature of the copper piece if a 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C is 345.5°C.

Select the keyword or phrase that will best complete each sentence. A tetrahedral carbon is____hybridized while a linear carbon
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

A tetrahedral carbon is__sp³__hybridized while a linear carbon is__sp___hybridized. Two different compounds that have the same molecular formula are known as___isomers____. Pi (π) bonds are generally_weaker (because they overlapped side ways)___than sigma (sigma) bonds. Hybridization is the combination of two or more__atomic ____orbitals to form the same number of__hybrid (combined  s and p)__orbitals, each having the same shape and energy. A_pi (π)____bond is formed by side-by-side overlap of two p orbitals. The_electronegativity___is a measure of an atom's attraction for electrons in a bond and indicates how much a particular atom ''wants" electrons. Two Lewis structures that have the same atomic placement and a structure but a different arrangement of pi electrons are called_Resonance structure____. All single bonds are___sigma__bonds.
