Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.

Solution:

Initially,  only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times X_{O_2}  (X_{O_2}=\frac{4}{4}) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times 1=Tp_1....(1)

Tp_1= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.

Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:

X'_{O_2}=\frac{4}{8}=\farc{1}{2},X_{He}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :

Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.

p_{O_2}=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

Tp_2= Total pressure of the mixture.

from (1)

Tp_1=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

On rearranging, we get:

Tp_2=2\times Tp_1

The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.

Solve for y in the following problem: 5.3 x 10- (y)(2y)
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The value of y = 5.1478

Explanation:

The linear equation is an equation obtained when a linear polynomial is equated to zero. When the solution obtained on solving the equation is substituted in the equation in place of the unknown, the equation gets satisfied.

The given equation: 5.3 x 10- (y)(2y) = 0

⇒ 53 - 2y² = 0

⇒ 2y² = 53

⇒ y² = 53 ÷ 2 = 26.5

⇒ y = √26.5 = 5.1478

Biphenyl and benzene are common side products in this gringard reaction. explain at which points in the purification procedure t
mafiozo [28]

In Grignard reaction, Biphenyl and benzene are common side products which are removed during trituration.

In organic chemistry, a reaction in which the Grignard reagents or organometallic substances are added to organic compounds such as aldehydes and ketones to form alcohol is known as Grignard reaction.

These Grignard reagents are magnesium halides of alkyl, vinyl or allyl, which react with a carbonyl group to form alcohols.

During this reaction, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols are formed.

While Biphenyl and benzene are common side products.

These are removed during trituration process in which cold petroleum ether is added to dissolve the biphenyl and benzene side products
