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

Consider the reaction: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a)  80 g of O2

b) O2, 15.13 g of CO2

c) It's not posible to know which is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Reaction                             CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O

a. Calculate the grams of O2 needed to react with 20.00 grams of CH4. _____________

MW CH4 = 16 g

MW O2 = 32 g

                               16 g of CH4 ----------------  2(32) g of O2

                               20 g              --------------    x

                               x = (20 x 64) / 16 = 80 g of O2

b. Given 15.00 g. of CH4 and 22.00 g. of O2, identify the limiting reactant and calculate the grams of CO2 that can be produced. LR _________ grams CO2 _________ .  

                                CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O

                                15 g         22 g

                                16 g of CH4 ----------------  64 g of O2

                                15 g of CH4  ---------------   x

                               x = (15 x 64) / 16 = 60 g of O2

The Limiting reactant is O2 because it is necessary 60g of O2 for 16 g of CH4 and there are only 22.

                                 CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O

                        64 g of O2 ------------------  44 g of CO2

                        22 g of O2 ------------------   x

                        x = (22 x 44)/ 64 = 15. 13 g of CO2

c. For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O, if you have 10.31 g. of CH4 and an unknown amount of oxygen, and form 20.00 g. of CO2, i. Identify if there is a limiting reactant ______________ ii. Calculate the number of grams of the limiting reactant present if there is one. ______________  

                           CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O                              

                           10.31 g                     20 g

We can identify the limiting reactant if we know the quantity of the reactants, if we only know the quantity of one it is not posible to which is the limiting reactant.

Help lol sorry if I’m spamming this is just really hard for me
galben [10]
It’s true:)
The subscript on chemical equations tells you how many atoms the elements have. If there is no subscript then there is only 1 atom.

What is being cycled??
swat32
Water is constantly being cycled between the atmosphere, the ocean and land. This cycling is a very important process that helps sustain life on Earth. As the water evaporates, vapors rise, and condense into clouds. The clouds move over land, and precipitation falls in the form of rain, ice, or snow.

What is the mass in grams of 2.0 moles of NO2
mote1985 [20]
Use your periodic table to get 1 mol. Look up the atomic masses. I'll round the numbers since every periodic table is different.
 
N = 14
O2 = 2 *16
Total = 30 grams / mol


Therefore 2 mols = twice as much = 60 grams.
