Answer : The partial pressure of the CO_2 in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.

Explanation :

As we are given 75 % CO_2 and 25 % N_2 in terms of volume.

First we have to calculate the moles of CO_2 and N_2.

\text{Moles of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Volume of }CO_2}{\text{Volume at STP}}=\frac{75}{22.4}=3.35mole

\text{Moles of }N_2=\frac{\text{Volume of }N_2}{\text{Volume at STP}}=\frac{25}{22.4}=1.12mole

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of CO_2.

\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }CO_2}{\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }N_2}

\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{3.35}{3.35+1.12}=0.75

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of the CO_2 gas.

\text{Partial pressure of }CO_2=\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2\times \text{Total pressure of gas}

\text{Partial pressure of }CO_2=0.75mole\times 300Kpa=225Kpa=225Kpa\times \frac{0.145\text{ psia}}{1Kpa}=32.625\text{ psia}

conversion used : (1 Kpa = 0.145 psia)

Therefore, the partial pressure of the CO_2 in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.

Which parts (postulates) of Dalton's atomic theory has been modified in light of later discoveries
professor190 [17]

Explanation:

1) Atoms can not be subdivided. It has been changed as it is possible to divide an atom into Protons, Neutrons and Electrons as well as other smaller particles.

2) The regulations for the chemical mixture have always been altered to the rules for the chemical combination in the creation of organic compounds may be denied.

3)Atoms are of a particular element are identical in all respects i. e. they have same mass and similar properties.

It was modified. And according. to new search;

Atoms of the same element may not be always identical.

In sexual reproduction, if each chromosome in a pair has the same genes, how is genetic variety possible?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The same genes or slightly different versions of the same gene can be found on each chromosome in a pair. They form a line and split off bits of themselves, which they barter with one another. In sexual reproduction, crossing over is the first method that genes are shuffled to develop genetic variation.

How many liters of space will 7.80 moles of methane gas (CH4) occupy at STP
Alchen [17]

Answer:

V CH4(g) = 190.6 L

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas:

  • PV = RTn

∴ STP: T =298 K and P = 1 atm

∴ R = 0.082 atm.L/K.mol

∴ moles (n) = 7.80 mol CH4(g)

∴ Volume CH4(g) = ?

⇒ V = RTn/P

⇒ V CH4(g) = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)×(298 K)×(7.80 mol)) / (1 atm)

⇒ V CH4(g) = 190.6 L

What mass of solute is contained in 25.4 ml of a 1.56 m potassium bromide solution?
mash [69]
Answer is: mass of <span>potassium bromide is 4.71 grams.
V(KBr) = 25.4 mL </span>÷ 1000 mL/L = 0.0254 L, volume of solution.
c(KBr) = 1.56 mol/L.
n(KBr) = c(KBr) · V(KBr).
n(KBr) = 1.56 mol/L  0.054 L.
n(KBr) = 0.0396 mol, amount of substance.
m(KBr) = n(KBr) · M(KBr).
m(KBr) = 0.0396 mol · 119 g/mol.
m(KBr) = 4.71 g.
M - molar mass.

According to the following reaction, how many grams of hydrogen
Mila [183]

Answer:

7.03 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced synthesis reaction

N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇒ 2 NH₃(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 32.5 g of N₂

The molar mass of N₂ is 28.01 g/mol.

32.5 g × 1 mol/28.01 g = 1.16 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of H₂ needed to react with 1.16 moles of N₂

The molar ratio of N₂ to H₂ is 1:3. The moles of H₂ needed are 3/1 × 1.16 mol = 3.48 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 3.48 moles of H₂

The molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol.

3.48 mol × 2.02 g/mol = 7.03 g
