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!

Calculate the mass of arsenic trihydride produced from 117.4 g of hydrogen gas with excess arsenic trioxide:
Lana71 [14]

Answer: The mass of AsH_3 produced is, 1528.8 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of H_2 = 117.4 g

Molar mass of H_2 = 2 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of H_2.

\text{Moles of }H_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }H_2}{\text{Molar mass }H_2}

\text{Moles of }H_2=\frac{117.4g}{2g/mol}=58.7mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of AsH_3

The balanced chemical equation is:

6H_2+As_2O_3\rightarrow 2AsH_3+3H_2O

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 6 moles of H_2 react to give 2 moles of AsH_3

So, 58.7 moles of H_2 react to give \frac{2}{6}\times 58.7=19.6 mole of AsH_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of AsH_3

\text{ Mass of }AsH_3=\text{ Moles of }AsH_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }AsH_3

Molar mass of AsH_3 = 78 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }AsH_3=(19.6moles)\times (78g/mole)=1528.8g

Therefore, the mass of AsH_3 produced is, 1528.8 grams.

a) Diamond and graphite are two different forms of pure elemental carbon with densities of 3.51 g/cc and 2.25 g/cc respectively.
dybincka [34]
Density can be calculated using the following rule:
density = mass / volume
Therefore,
volume = mass / density

For diamond:
we have mass = 0.5 grams and density = 3.51 g / cm^3
Substituting in the rule, we can calculate the volume of diamond as follows:
volume = 0.5 / 3.51 = 0.14245 cm^3

For graphite:
we have mass = 0.5 grams and density = 2.25 g / cm^3
Substituting in the rule, we can calculate the volume of graphite as follows:
volume = 0.5 / 2.25 = 0.2223 cm^3

Which correctly describes the reaction between potassium and excess water?
nika2105 [10]
Balanced chemical reaction: 2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g).

KOH is inorganic compound p<span>otassium hydroxide, a strong base.
H</span>₂ is hydrogen gas.
In balanced chemical reaction number of atoms on both side of chemical reaction must be same. There are two potassium atoms, four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on both side of reaction.
