A mixture containing nitrogen and hydrogen weighs 3.48 g and occupies a volume of 7.47 L at 296 K and 1.02 atm. Calculate the ma
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

there is 2% of hydrogen and 98% of nitrogen (mass percent)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour

P*V=n*R*T

n= P*V/(R*T)

where P= pressure=1.02 atm , V=volume=7.47 L , T=absolute temperature= 296 K and R= ideal gas constant = 0.082 atm*L/(mole*K)

thus

n= P*V/(R*T) = 1.02 atm*7.47 L/( 296 K * 0.082 atm*L/(mole*K)) = 0.314 moles

since the number of moles is related with the mass m through the molecular weight M

n=m/M

thus denoting 1 as hydrogen and 2 as nitrogen

m₁+m₂ = mt (total mass)

m₁/M₁+m₂/M₂ = n

dividing one equation by the other and denoting mass fraction w₁= m₁/mt , w₂= m₂/mt , w₂= 1- w₁

w₁/M₁+w₂/M₂ = n/mt

w₁/M₁+(1-w₁) /M₂ = n/mt

w₁*(1/M₁- 1/M₂) + 1/M₂ = n/mt

w₁=  (n/mt- 1/M₂) /(1/M₁- 1/M₂)

replacing values

w₁=  (n/mt- 1/M₂) /(1/M₁- 1/M₂) = (0.314 moles/3.48 g - 1/(14 g/mole)) /(1/(1 g/mole)-1/(14 g/mole))= 0.02 (%)

and w₂= 1-w₁= 0.98 (98%)

thus there is 2% of hydrogen and 98% of nitrogen

Smoking marijuana can be as unhealthy as smoking cigarettes and ___________
Afina-wow [57]
The answer is all of them. But in a school situation, A would be appropriate. This is because the smoke gets into the smokers lungs, whether it be marijuana or tobacco, and can cause cancer cells to grow in your lungs and enter your bloodstream.
So A is the answer.

A compound with the empirical formula, ch2, has a molar mass equal to 84.2 g/mol. what is the molecular formula for the compound
MatroZZZ [7]
<span>Mass of CH2 = 12 + 2 = 14 g/mol The number of CH2s there are. So since the total mass is 84.2 g/mol. The solution is 84.2/14 = 6.012 thus the answer is 6 There are 6(CH2) So the molecular formula is C6H12</span>

When a cube of manganese oxide was added to a solution of hydrogen peroxide, water and oxygen were produced. Manganese oxide was
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Chilling the hydrogen peroxide solution  

Explanation:

The MnO₂ is acting as a catalyst.

Chilling the hydrogen peroxide solution reduces the average kinetic energy of the H₂O₂ molecules.

Fewer of them will have enough kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy of the reaction. The rate will decrease.

A is wrong. Using a larger amount of solution does not increase the number of H₂O₂ molecules that can reach the surface of the catalyst per second. There is no effect on the rate.

B is wrong. Increasing the mass of the cube increases its surface area. More molecules of H₂O₂ can reach the surface of the catalyst per second. The rate increases.

D is wrong. Smashing the cube into pieces vastly increases the surface area, so the rate increases
