The mass fractions of a mixture of gases are 15 percent nitrogen, 5 percent helium, 60 percent methane, and 20 percent ethane wi

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Number of moles of each gas is

Nitrogen = 15/28 = 0.536 kmoles

Helium = 5/4 = 1.25 kmoles

Methane = 60/16 = 3.75 kmoles

Ethane = 20/30 = 0.67 kmoles

Total number of moles = 0.536 kmoles + 1.25 kmoles + 3.75 kmoles + 0.67 kmoles = 6.206 kmoles

Mole fraction of each gas;

Nitrogen = 0.536 kmoles/6.206 kmoles = 0.086

Helium = 1.25 kmoles/6.206 kmoles = 0.201

Methane = 3.75 kmoles/6.206 kmoles =0.604

Ethane = 0.67 kmoles/6.206 kmoles =0.108

Partial pressure of each gas;

Nitrogen = 0.086 * 1200 kPa = 103.2 kPa

Helium = 0.201 * 1200 kPa = 241.2 kPa

Methane = 0.604 * 1200 kPa = 724.8 kPa

Ethane = 0.108 * 1200 kPa = 129.6 kPa

Apparent specific heat at constant pressure;

Cp = (0.15 * 1.039) + (0.05 * 5.1926) + ( 0.6 * 2.2537) + (0.2 * 1.7662)

Cp = 2.12 KJ Kg-1 K-1

Cv = Cp- Ru/M

Cv= 2.12 - 8.314/16.12 = 1.604 KJ Kg-1 K-1

Answer:

401.17 K is the minimum temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous under standard state conditions.

Explanation:

The expression for the standard change in free energy is:

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\times \Delta S$

Where,

$\Delta G$ is the change in the Gibbs free energy.

T is the absolute temperature. (T in kelvins)

$\Delta H$ is the enthalpy change of the reaction.

$\Delta S$ is the change in entropy.

Given at:-

Temperature = 25.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (25.0 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

$\Delta H$ = 128.9 kJ/mol

$\Delta G$ = 33.1 kJ/mol

Applying in the above equation, we get as:-

$33.1=128.9-298.15\times \Delta S$

$-29815\Delta S=-9580$

$\Delta S=-9580$ = 0.32131 kJ/Kmol

So, For reaction to be spontaneous, $\Delta G$

Thus, For minimum temperature:-

$\Delta H-T\times \Delta S=0$

$128.9-T\times 0.32131=0$

$T=\frac{128.9}{0.32131}=401.17\ K$

Hence, 401.17 K is the minimum temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous under standard state conditions.

How many neutrons does an atom of Copper have in its nucleus?

klasskru [66]

Answer:34.55
explanation:number of neutrons=mass number-atomic number
the mass number for copper is 63.55 so you do 63.55-29 (29 is the atomic number) and you would get 34.55

A 0.98 M solution of calcium chloride with a volume of 0.25 L is diluted to form a 0.74 M solution. What is the new volume of th

tankabanditka [31]

The new volume of the dilute solution is 0.33 L.

Explanation:

Using the law of Volumetric analysis, we can find the volume of the dilute solution from the stock solution or the concentrated solution of Calcium Chloride.

V1M1 = V2M2

V1 be the volume of the stock solution = 0.25 L

M1 being the molarity of the stock solution = 0.98 M

V2 be the volume of the dilute solution = ?

M2 being the molarity of the dilute solution = 0.74 M

We have to rearrange the above equation to find V2 as,

V2 = $$\frac{V1M1}{M2}$

Now plugin the values as,

V2 = $$\frac{0.25 L \times 0.98 M }{0.74 M}$

= 0.33 L

So the new volume of the dilute solution is 0.33 L.
