Answer:
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced chemical equation for reaction of potassium superoxide with carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and potassium carbonate will be:
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Pressure (P) = 760 torr = 1 atm
Volume (V) = = 0.720 L
Temperature (T) = = (25 + 273) K = 298 K
Using ideal gas equation, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.
PV = nRT
Total atoms present (n) =
=
= 0.0294 mol
Let us assume that there are x mol of Ar and y mol of Xe.
Hence, total number of moles will be as follows.
x + y = 0.0294
Also, 40x + 131y = 2.966
x = 0.0097 mol
y = (0.0294 - 0.0097)
= 0.0197 mol
Therefore, mole fraction will be calculated as follows.
Mol fraction of Xe =
=
= 0.67
Therefore, the mole fraction of Xe is 0.67.
