Answer:

[N₂] = 0.032 M

[O₂] = 0.0086 M

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Law → P . V = n .  R . T

We assume that the mixture of air occupies a volume of 1 L

78% N₂ → Mole fraction of N₂ = 0.78

21% O₂  → Mole fraction of O₂ = 0.21

1% another gases  → Mole fraction of another gases = 0.01

In a mixture, the total pressure of the system refers to total moles of the mixture

1 atm . 1L = n . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K

n = 1 L.atm / 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K → 0.0409 moles

We apply the mole fraction to determine the moles

N₂ moles / Total moles = 0.78 → 0.78 . 0.0409 mol = 0.032 moles N₂

O₂ moles / Total moles = 0.21 → 0.21 . 0.0409 mol = 0.0086 moles O₂

HCI + NaOH --> NaCl + H 20
Vikki [24]

Answer:

option D is correct

Explanation:

no of moles in 3 grams of HCL=3/36=0.08

if 1 mole of HCL require 1 mole of NaOH then 0.08 moles required 0.08 moles of NaOH

mass of 0.08 moles of NaOH=moles*molar mass=0.08*40=3.2 grams

so 3 grams are required in the reaction

Why is some amount of cryolite added in the electrolysis of molten alumina​
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

A.It lowers the melting point of alumina. B.It increases the electrical conductivity. ... Hint: The solution of alumina and cryolite during the electrolysis gives the aluminium at cathode and oxygen at anode. The alumina is a poor conductor of electricity and the fusion temperature of alumina is about 2000∘C.
