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.

The immediate electron acceptor for the majority of the oxidative reactions of the citric acid cycle is.
Anna [14]

NAD serves as the bulk of the oxidative processes in the citric acid cycle's initial electron acceptor.

<h3>What are electron acceptors in citric acid cycle?</h3>
  • In the Krebs cycle, which transfers electrons via the electron transport chain with oxygen as the final acceptor, coenzymes like FAD and NAD+ are reduced.
  • In a single cycle, three NADH+ and one FADH2 are produced, and when the cycle enters the electron transport chain, 10 ATP is produced.
  • The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is oxygen. The proton gradient in the intermembrane gap is produced by NADH molecules donating electrons that are then transmitted through a number of different proteins.
<h3>What occurs throughout the citric acid cycle?</h3>

The cycle of citric acid: In the citric acid cycle, a six-carbon citrate molecule is created when an acetyl group from acetyl CoA is joined to a four-carbon oxaloacetate molecule.

Citrate is oxidized over a number of steps, generating two molecules of carbon dioxide for each acetyl group added to the cycle.

Tell me why in Louisiana it always gotta freaking have a hurricane
Gala2k [10]
Why do so many storms target the state? The easterly winds typically blowing across Jacksonville in the summer flow out of the Azores/Bermuda high-pressure system which also steers many hurricanes into the Gulf. In June and October, storms are more likely to move up the Gulf from the south and southwest.

For a phase change, H0 = 2 kJ/mol and A S0 = 0.017 kJ/(K•mol). What are
34kurt

Answer:

ΔG = -6.5kJ/mol at 500K

Explanation:

We can find ΔG of a reaction using ΔH, ΔS and absolute temperature with the equation:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Computing the values in the problem:

ΔG = ?

ΔH = 2kJ/mol

T = 500K

And ΔS = 0.017kJ/(K•mol)

Replacing:

ΔG = 2kJ/mol - 500K*0.017kJ/(K•mol)

ΔG = 2kJ/mol - 8.5kJ/mol

<h3>ΔG = -6.5kJ/mol at 500K</h3>

Why are all atoms electrically neutral?
Anna11 [10]

Answer: Atoms are neutral if they have the same number of charged protons and electrons, balancing positive and negative charges. ... This is because water itself has slight charges. Answer 7: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged).
