How is the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture calculated?

Chemistry

The total pressure of a mixture of gases can be defined as the sum of the pressures of each individual gas: Ptotal=P1+P2+…+Pn. + P n . The partial pressure of an individual gas is equal to the total pressure multiplied by the mole fraction of that gas.

So let's convert this amount of mL to grams:

\frac{13.6g}{1mL}*1.2mL=16.32g

Then we need to convert to moles using the molar weight found on the periodic table for mercury (Hg):

\frac{1mole}{200.59g}*16.32g=8.135*10^{-2}mol

Then we need to convert moles to atoms using Avogadro's number:

\frac{6.022*10^{23}atoms}{1mole} *[8.135*10^{-2}mol]=4.90*10^{22}atoms

So now we know that in 1.2 mL of liquid mercury, there are 4.90*10^{22}atoms present.

Consider this reaction at equilibrium at a total pressure P1: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g) Suppose the volume of this system is c
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The new equilibrium total pressure will be  increased to one-half to initial total pressure.

Explanation:

From the information given :

The equation of the reaction can be represented as;

2SO_{2(g)}+O_{2(g)} \to2SO_{3(g)}

From above equation:

2 moles of sulphur dioxide reacts with 1 mole of oxygen  (i.e 2 moles +1 mole  =3 moles ) to give 2 moles of sulphur trioxide

So; suppose the volume of this system is compressed to one-half its initial volume and then equilibrium is reestablished.

So if this process takes place ; the equilibrium will definitely shift to the side with fewer moles , thus the equilibrium will shift to the right. As such; there is increase in pressure.

Let the total pressure at the initial equilibrium be P_1

and the total pressure at the final equilibrium be P_2

According to Boyle's Law; Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the volume, provided the temperature remains constant.

Thus;

P ∝  1/V

P = K/V

PV = K

where K = constant

So;

PV = constant

Hence;

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

From the foregoing; since the volume is decreased to one- half to initial Volume; then ,

V_2 =  \dfrac{V_1}{\dfrac{3}{2}} ----- (1)

also;

Thus ;

P_1V_1 = P_2(  \dfrac{V_1}{\frac{3}{2}})

P_1V_1 = P_2 * 2  \dfrac{V_1}{3}

3 P_1 V_1 = 2 P_2 V_1

Dividing both sides by V_1

3P_1 = 2P_2

P_2 =P_1 \dfrac{3}{2}  ----- (2)

From ;

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

P_2 V_2 = P_1 * \dfrac{3}{2}* \dfrac{V_1}{\frac{3}{2}}

P_2 V_2 = P_1 * \dfrac{3}{2}*   \dfrac{2 }{3}}*V_1

P_2 V_2 = P_1 V_1

Thus; The new equilibrium total pressure will be  increased to one-half to initial total pressure.

How many molecules of carbon tetrafluoride, CF4, are in 176 grams of CF4?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

1.2*10^24 molecules of CF4

Explanation:

the molar mass of cf4 is 88.0043 g/mol

176/88.0043 = 2 moles of CF4

Then multiply by avogadro's number (6.022*10^23) to get the number of molecules

2*6.022*10^23 = 1.2*10^24 molecules of CF4

The enthalpies of formation of the compounds in the combustion of methane, , are CH4 (g): Hf = –74.6 kJ/mol; CO2 (g): Hf = –393.
algol [13]

Answer:

The amount of energy released from the combustion of 2 moles of methae is 1,605.08 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The chemical reaction of the combustion of methane is given as follows;

CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

Hence, 1 mole of methane combines with 2 moles of oxygen gas to form 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water vapor

Where:

CH₄ (g): Hf = -74.6 kJ/mol

CO₂ (g): Hf = -393.5 kJ/mol

H₂O (g): Hf = -241.82 kJ/mol

Therefore, the combustion of 1 mole of methane releases;

-393.5 kJ/mol × 1 + 241.82 kJ/mol × 2 + 74.6 kJ/mol = -802.54 kJ/mol

Hence the combustion of 2 moles of methae will rellease;

2 × -802.54 kJ/mol or 1,605.08 kJ/mol.
