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.

What is the pH of a solution that contains 25 grams of hydrochloric acid (hcl) dissolved in 1.5 liters of water?
Darina [25.2K]
First we calculate the concentration of HCl:

Moles = mass / Mr
= 25 / 36.5
= 0.685 mol

Concentration = 0.685/1.5 = 0.457 mol / dm³

For a strong monoprotic acid, the concentration of hydrogen ions is equal to the acid concentration.

pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(0.457)
= 0.34

What was the purpose of putting distilled water in the blank cuvette? if your unknown used ethanol as the base solvent, what wou
Margaret [11]

The purpose of using distilled water in the cuvette of the spectrophotometer is to calibrate the instrument. It is generally considered that distilled water shows zero absorbance and 100 % transmittance. So, to zero out the absorbance of compounds other than the analyte being determined, distilled water is used as a blank.

If the unknown being determined is prepared using ethanol as the base solution, the blank used must be ethanol. This is because absorbance if any from the solvent, ethanol must be zeroed out as when the measurement of the actual unknown is being made, the absorbance of the solvent does not interfere.

How many moles of hydrogen are required to react with 4.6 x 10 22 molecules of nitrogen?
V125BC [204]

Answer: 6 moles

Take a look at the balanced chemical equation for this synthesis reaction

N 2(g] + 3 H 2(g] → 2 NH 3(g]

Notice that you have a  1:3  mole ratio between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas. This means that, regardless of how many moles of nitrogen gas you have, the reaction will always consume twice as many moles of hydrogen gas.

So, if you have  2 moles of nitrogen taking part in the reaction, you will need

2 moles N 2 ⋅ 3 moles H 2 /1 mole N 2 = 6 moles H 2
