Use the ideal gas law to calculate the concentrations of nitrogen and oxygen present in air at a pressure of 1.0 atm and a tempe

rature of 298 K. Assume that nitrogen comprises 78% of air by volume and that oxygen comprises 21%. Express your answers using two significant figures separated by a comma.

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

Determine the value of the equilibrium constant, Kgoal, for the reaction C(s)+12O2(g)+H2(g)⇌12CH3OH(g)+12CO(g), Kgoal=? by makin
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

1.71x10²⁷

Explanation:

If we sum 1/2 of (3) + 1/2 of (1):

1/2 (3.) C(s) + 1/2O₂(g) ⇌ CO(g), K₃ = √2.10×10⁴⁷  = 4.58x10²³

1/2 (1)   1/2CO₂(g) + 3/2H₂(g) ⇌ 1/2CH₃OH(g) + 1/2H₂O(g), K₁ = √1.40×10² = 11.8

C(s) + 1/2O₂(g) +<u> 1/2CO₂(g) </u>+<u> 3/2H₂(g</u>) ⇌ 1/2CH₃OH(g) + <u>1/2H₂O(g)</u> + <u>CO(g)</u>

K' = 4.58x10²³ * 11.8 = 5.42x10²⁴

+1/2 (2):

<u>1/2 CO(g)</u> +<u> 1/2H₂O(g)</u> ⇌<u> 1/2CO₂(g)</u> + <u>1/2H₂</u> (g), K = √1.00×10⁵ = 316.2

C(s) + 1/2O₂(g) + H₂(g) ⇌ 1/2 CHO₃H(g) + 1/2CO(g)

K'' = 5.42x10²⁴* 316.2 =

<h3>1.71x10²⁷</h3>

First, we convert the depth of the water into meters. This is:
60 feet = 18.3 meters

Now, we compute the additional pressure exerted due to the water, which is given by:
Pressure = density * gravitational field strength * height
P = 1000 * 9.81 * 18.3
P = 179.5 kPa

The atmosphere pressure is 101.325 kPa
The pressure of the gas bubbles 60 feet under water will be:
179.5 + 101.325 = 280.825 kPa

The pressure at the surface of the water will be equal to the atmospheric pressure, 101.325 kPa.

Because of this decrease in external pressure as gas bubbles rise, they are seen to expand.
