A gaseous mixture composed of 20% CH4, 30% C2H4, 35% C2H2, and 15% C2H20. What is the average molecular weight of the mixture? a

Semenov [28]

Answer: The correct answer is Option d.

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass percentage of $CH_4$ = 20 %

So, mole fraction of $CH_4$ = 0.2

Mass percentage of $C_2H_4$ = 30 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_4$ = 0.3

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2$ = 35 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2$ = 0.35

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2O$ = 15 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2O$ = 0.15

We know that:

Molar mass of $CH_4$ = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_4$ = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2$ = 26 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2O$ = 48 g/mol

To calculate the average molecular mass of the mixture, we use the equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{_{i=1}^n\sum{\chi_im_i}}{n_i}$

where,

$\chi_i$ = mole fractions of i-th species

$m_i$ = molar masses of i-th species

$n_i$ = number of observations

Putting values in above equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight}=\frac{(\chi_{CH_4}\times M_{CH_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_4}\times M_{C_2H_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_2}\times M_{C_2H_2})+(\chi_{C_2H_2O}\times M_{C_2H_2O})}{4}$

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{(0.20\times 16)+(0.30\times 28)+(0.35\times 26)+(0.15\times 42)}{4}\\\\\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=6.75$

Hence, the correct answer is Option d.

Calculate the standard reaction Gibbs free energy for the following cell reactions: (a) 2 Ce41(aq) 1 3 I2(aq) S 2 Ce31(aq) 1 I32

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

For a: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ

Explanation:

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$ ............(1)

For a:

The given chemical equation follows:

$2Ce^{4+}(aq.)+3I^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ce^{3+}(aq.)+I_3^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Ce^{4+}(aq.)\rightarrow Ce^{3+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 2)

Reduction half reaction: $3I^_(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow I_3^-(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=2\\E^o_{cell}=+1.08V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times (+1.80)=-347,400J=-347.4kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b:

The given chemical equation follows:

$6Fe^{3+}(aq.)+2Cr^{3+}+7H_2O(l)(aq.)\rightarrow 6Fe^{2+}(aq.)+Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 6)

Reduction half reaction: $2Cr^{2+}(aq.)+7H_2O(l)+6e^-\rightarrow Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=6\\E^o_{cell}=-1.29V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-6\times 96500\times (-1.29)=746,910J=746.91kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ

What allows electrical charges to move freely

Zolol [24]

Explanation:

Certain materials, called conductors, allow electric charge to move pretty freely through them. ... Other materials, like plastic and rubber, are called insulators because they don't allow electric charges to move through them.
