Answer:

The concentration of nitrogen per liter of air is 3.189 × 10⁻² moles

while the concentration of oxygen per liter of air is 8.59 × 10⁻³ moles

Explanation:

From Dalton's law of partial pressure, we have the pressure of the air is due to the partial pressures of the constituent gases

Therefore from the ideal gas law we have

PV = nRT, or P = nRT/V which for nitrogen is with volume = 78 % of the total volume giving us

Pressure of nitrogen = nRT/(0.78V) and oxygen gives

nRT/(0.21V) while the remaining contituent 1 % is

nRT/(0.01V)

Therefore we have nRT/(0.78V)  + nRT/(0.21V) + nRT/(0.01V) = Ptotal

however by Avogadro's law, equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules

and the partial pressure of a gas =mole fraction × total pressure

From which we have the mole fraction of nitrogen given as

nRT/(0.78V)  + nRT/(0.21V) + nRT/(0.01V) = nRT/V

cancelling like terms gives

n(nitrogen)/0.78 +n(oxygen)/0.21 +n(others)/0.01 =n/1

therefore the mole fraction of nitrogen = 0.78

and the mole fraction of oxygen = 0.21

or n = PV/RT = 1 * 0.78/(0.082057* 298) = 3.189 × 10⁻² moles per liter

Also we have for oxygen =1*0.21/(0.082057* 298) = 8.59 × 10⁻³ moles per liter

A little aluminum boat (mass of 14.50
Valentin [98]
When the volume is 450 cm3 so the boat will displace 450 g.

so we have  450 g - 14.5g = 435.5 left 

so to get how many pennies can be added to the boat before it sinks can be determined by:

divided the mass for the one penny:

no.of Penny = 435.5 / 2.5g

                     = 174.2 

∴ the boat will float with 174 pennies and will start to sink with 175

Q#5 Balance and list the coefficients from reactants to products.
skad [1K]

A. 2Fe_2O_3(s) +3C(s) → 4Fe(s) + 3CO_2(g)

B. 2Al(s) + 3FeO(s) → Fe(s) + 3Al_2O_3(s)

C. 2Al(s) +3H_2SO_4(aq) → Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq) + 3H_2(g)

What is a balanced chemical equation?

An equation that has an equal number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation is called a balanced chemical equation.

A. 2Fe_2O_3(s) +3C(s) → 4Fe(s) + 3CO_2(g)

B. 2Al(s) + 3FeO(s) → Fe(s) + 3Al_2O_3(s)

C. 2Al(s) +3H_2SO_4(aq) → Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq) + 3H_2(g)
