Answer:

y = 0.92

Explanation:

According to this problem, we have an ideal solution of hexane and heptane. This solution was made at 25 °C. If this is an ideal solution, this means that the solution has a vapour above it, so the first thing we need to know is the pressure of hexane and heptane at 25 °C. These pressures are reported and tabuled in differents literatures and handbook.

P₁ (Hexane) = 0.1989 atm

P₂ (Heptane) = 0.0139 atm

Now, to calcule the mole fraction of hexane in the vapour of this solution we need to apply the fugacity concept to the hexane, which is the following expression:

fv hex = fl hex (1)

This means that the fugacity of hexane in vapour would be the same in the liquid state. This concept can then be relationed to the mole fraction. in the liquid phase we have:

fl hex = x * P₁

and in the vapour, the mole fraction is relationed to the total pressure of the solution so:

fv hex = y * Pt

Where "y" would be the mole fraction of hexane in the vapour.

Using these two expression into (1) we have:

y * Pt = x₁ * P₁   (2)

And then, we can solve for y:

y = x * P₁/Pt  (3)

So, all we have to do now is calculate the total pressure, and the mole fraction of hexane.

To get the mole fraction we need the moles of each reactant:

n₁ = 463.96 / 86 = 5.395 moles of hexane

n₂ = 667.71 / 100 = 6.677 moles of heptane

The mole fraction is:

x₁ = n₁ / n₁ + n₂

x₁ = 5.395 / (5.395+6.677) = 0.447

x₂ = 1 - 0.447 = 0.553

We have the mole fraction of hexane, let's calculate the total pressure:

Pt = x₁P₁ + x₂P₂

Pt = (0.447 * 0.1989) + (0.553 * 0.0.0139) = 0.0966 atm

Finally, let's use expression (3) to get the mole fraction in the vapour:

y = 0.447 * 0.1989/0.0966

y = 0.92

Answer:

y_{C_6H_{14}}=0.92

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, we compute liquid-phase molar fractions:

n_{C_6H_{14}}=463.96 g*\frac{1mol}{86g} =5.3949molC_6H_{14}\\n_{C_7H_{16}}=667.71 g*\frac{1mol}{100g} =6.6771molC_7H_{16}\\x_{C_6H_{14}}=\frac{5.3949}{5.3949+6.6771} =0.447\\x_{C_7H_{16}}=1-x_{C_6H_{14}}=0.553

Now, by means of the fugacity concept, for hexane, for instance, we have:

f_{C_6H_{14}}^V=f_{C_6H_{14}}^L\\y_{C_6H_{14}}p_T=x_{C_6H_{14}}p_{C_6H_{14}}

In this manner, at 25 °C the vapor pressure of hexane and heptane are 0.198946 atm and 0.013912 atm repectively, thus, the total pressure is:

p_T=x_{C_6H_{14}}p_{C_6H_{14}}+x_{C_7H_{16}}p_{C_7H_{16}}\\p_T=0.447*0.198946 atm +0.553*0.013912 atm=0.096622atm

Finally, from the hexane's fugacity equation, we find its mole fraction in the vapour as:

y_{C_6H_{14}}=\frac{x_{C_6H_{14}}p_{C_6H_{14}}}{p_T}=\frac{0.447*0.198946 atm}{0.096622atm} \\y_{C_6H_{14}}=0.92

Best regards.

How many moles are in 6.777 x 1023 atoms of CO2. Watch your significant figures. Question 2 options: 1 atoms CO2 1.125 moles CO2
Archy [21]

Answer:

1.13moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of atoms  = 6.777 x 10²³ atoms

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

A mole of a substance contains the avogadro's number of particles

       6.02  x  10²³ particles   = 1 mole

      6.777 x 10²³ atoms will contain \frac{ 6.777 x 10^{23}  }{6.02 x 10^{23} }   = 1.13moles

Methane gas, which may be present in confined spaces such as a basement, can cause death by __________.
stiks02 [169]

Methane gas, which may be present in confined spaces such as a basement, can cause death by asphyxiation.

<h3>What are the dangers of methane gas in confined space?</h3>

Low amounts are safe for inhalation. A significant amount can replace oxygen in the atmosphere. Reduced oxygen availability can cause symptoms like weariness, emotional instability, fast breathing, and rapid heart rate. Insufficient oxygen can cause nausea, vomiting, collapse, convulsions, coma. The onset of symptoms is accelerated by physical activity. Organs including the heart and brain can suffer long-term damage from a lack of oxygen.

Contact with Skin: Not irritating. The skin might become chilled or frozen when in direct touch with the liquid gas (frostbite). Itching and numbness are signs of mild frostbite. Burning and rigidity are signs of more serious frostbite.

No evidence of carcinogenicity.

Which sentence correctly explains the process and conditions needed for sleet to form?
laiz [17]

Answer:Sleet only happens under very specific weather conditions. There must be a layer of air near the ground whose temperature is below freezing, where water turns to ice. Above this layer of freezing air must be a layer of warmer air. As snow falls through the warm air, it melts or partially melts into raindrops.
