<span><u><em>First, we should define what a mixture and a two-phase mixture mean.</em></u>
<u><em>A mixture</em></u> is a combination of two or more substances without any chemical reaction occurring between them. Components of a mixture can be separated using physical methods such as heating, filtering, evaporation, .... etc
<em><u>A two-phase mixture</u></em> is a type of mixture that contains two different phases of matter, for example solid and liquid phases in one mixture or liquid and gas phases in one mixture.

<u><em>Now, we can give examples of two-phase mixtures and mention how to separate them:</em></u>
<u><em>A mixture of sand and water</em></u> is considered a two-phase mixture (sand is sold and water is a liquid).
<u><em>The components can easily be separated</em></u> using filtration where the sand will remain on the filter paper and water will pass.

Another example is <u><em>a mixture of sugar and water</em></u> (sugar is a solid and water is a liquid).
<u><em>The components can be separated </em></u>by heating. We can eat the mixture until water evaporates and the sugar is precipitated. The evaporated water can then be condensed into a different container.

Hope this helps :)</span>

$$\boxed{{\text{Mixture of sand and water}}}$$ is an example of two-phase mixture and this can be separated by $$\boxed{{\text{filtration}}}$$ .

Further explanation:

Mixture:

The material that is made up of two or more substances is called a mixture. It has no fixed formula and its composition is also varied. All the individual constituents retain their properties after the formation of the mixture.

<u>Types of mixtures: </u>

<u> </u>

1. Homogeneous mixtures

<em>Homogeneous </em>is a Latin word that means the <em>same</em>. These mixtures have a <em>uniform composition</em> throughout. These types of mixtures consist of a single phase only. Air, orange juice and blood are the examples of a homogenous mixture.

2. Heterogeneous mixtures

<em>Heterogeneous </em>is a Latin word that means <em>different</em>. These mixtures that have <em>non-uniform composition </em> throughout. These mixtures have more than one phase. Concrete, soda and chocolate chip cookies are the examples of a heterogeneous mixture.

Characteristics of mixtures:

1. It has a variable composition and has no formula.

2. Mixtures are not formed by any chemical reactions.

3. Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

4. The constituents of the mixtures can be separated by physical methods such as filtration, heating, drying, distillation, crystallization.

5. The properties of the individual particles of the mixture are retained even after the formation of mixtures.

A mixture of sand and water is an example of a two-phase mixture. Here sand is a solid whereas water is a liquid. The components of the mixture are separated by filtration. Sand will remain on the surface of filter paper while water passes through it.

Suppose that Daniel has a 3.00 3.00 L bottle that contains a mixture of O 2 O2 , N 2 N2 , and CO 2 CO2 under a total pressure of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Partial pressure O₂ → 2.74 atm

Explanation:

Let's analyse the data given:

Volume → 3L

In the bottle there is a mixture of gases that contains, O₂, N₂ and CO₂.

Total pressure is 4.80 atm

Let's apply the Ideal Gases Law to determine the total moles of the mixture

P . V = n .  R. T

4.80 atm . 3L = n . 0.082 . 273K

n = 4.80 atm . 3L / 0.082 . 273K → 0.643 moles

We apply the concept of mole fraction:

Mole fraction of a gas X = moles of gas X / Total moles

Mole fraction of a gas X = Partial pressure X / Total pressure

In a mixture, sum of mole fraction of each gas = 1

We determine mole fraction of N₂ → 0.230 / 0.643 = 0.357

We determine mole fraction of CO₂ → 0.350 atm / 4.80 atm = 0.0729

1 - mole fraction N₂ - mole fraction CO₂ = mole fraction O₂

1 - 0.357 - 0.0729 = 0.5701 → mole fraction O₂

We replace in the formula: Mole fraction O₂ = Partial pressure O₂ / 4.80 atm

0.5701 . 4.80 atm = Partial pressure O₂ → 2.74 atm
