A closed vessel system of volume 2.5 L contains a mixture of neon and fluorine. The total pressure is 3.32 atm at 0.0°C. When th

e mixture is heated to 15°C, the entropy of the mixture increases by 0.345 J/K. What amount (in moles) of each substance (Ne and F2) is present in the mixture? (heat capacity of monoatomic gas = 3/2R and that for a diatomic gas = 5/2R)

Answer:

moles Ne = 0.154 mol

moles F₂ = 0.217 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the vessel system = 2.5 L

Total pressure = 3.32 atm at 0.0 °C

The mixture is heated to 15.0 °C

The entropy of the mixture increases by 0.345 J/K

The heat capacity of monoatomic gas = 3/2R and that for a diatomic gas = 5/2R

Step 2: Define the gas

Neon is a monoatomic gas, composed of Ne atoms

 ⇒ Cv(Ne) ≅ (3/2)R

Fluorine is a diatomic gas, composed of F₂ molecules.  

⇒ Cv(F₂) ≅ (5/2)R

Step 3: Calculate moles of gas

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ with p = the total pressure = 3.32 atm

⇒ with V = the total volume = 2.5 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles of gas

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 273.15 Kelvin

n(total) = p*V/RT = (3.32 atm*2.5 L)/(0.08206 L*atm/mol•K*273.15) = 0.3703 mol

Step 4: Calculate moles of Ne and F2

For one mole heated at constant volume,  

∆S = Cv*ln(288.15/273.15) = 0.05346*Cv

⇒ ∆S for 0.3703 mol,  

∆S = (0.3703 mol)(0.05346)Cv = 0.345 J/K

 ⇒ Cv = 17.43 J/mol*K for the Ne/F₂ mixture.

For pure Ne, Cv = (3/2)R = 1.5*8.314 J/mol*K = 12.471 J/mol*K

For pure F₂, Cv = (5/2)R = 2.5 * 8.314 J/mol*K = 20.785 J/mol*K

if X is the mole fraction of Ne, we can find X by:

17.43 J/mol*K = X* 12.471 J/mol*K + (1 – X) * 20.785 J/mol*K

 ⇒ 20.875 – 8.314 * X = 17.43

X = 0.415 , 1 – X = 0.585

moles Ne = (0.415)(0.3703 mol) = 0.154 mol

moles F₂ = (0.585)(0.3703 mol) = 0.217 mol

A 50.5 L flask contains 3.25 mol of an unknown gas at 288.6 K, what is the pressure of<br> this gas?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

1.52atm is the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

To solve this question we must use the general gas law:

PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure in atm = Our incognite</em>

<em>V is volume = 50.5L</em>

<em>n are moles of gas = 3.25moles</em>

<em>R is gas constat = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>And T is absolute temperature = 288.6K</em>

To solve pressure:

P = nRT / V

P = 3.25mol*0.082atmL/molK*288.6K / 50.5L

P = 1.52atm is the pressure of the gas

After learning about climate change in her science class, selena wants to make a few changes at home so she can affect climate c
ivanzaharov [21]

Selena can change from burning fossil fuel in her home to using solar energy.

<h3>What causes climate changes?</h3>

Climate change is caused by the release of the greenhouse gases which is gotten through the use and burning of fossil fuels such as coal.

The use of solar panels and solar energy by Selena in her house can help adjust the climate changes by decreasing the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.

Which of the following can explain the daily change in sea level observed along a coast?
salantis [7]
The answer for the question above is A. the gravitational pull of the moon on the water near the coast. The sun and and the moon are responsible for the rising and falling of the ocean tides. The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun makes the water in the oceans bulge, causing a continuous change between high and low tide.

Helllpppp!!!!!! Please
pav-90 [236]

Answer: (C) Statements (i) and (iii)

Explanation: According to byjus.com, group VII elements are known as Halogens.

Not only that, but bbc.co.uk says " Atoms of group 7 elements all have seven electrons in their outer shell. This means that the halogens all have similar chemical reactions ."

It may just be (b) though as these are chemical reactions.
