Helium-oxygen mixtures are used by divers to avoid the bends and are used in medicine to treat some respiratory ailments. What p

ercent (by moles) of He is present in a helium-oxygen mixture having a density of 0.518 g/L at 25 ∘ C and 721 mmHg ?

Answer:

The percentage by mole of Helium present in the Helium-Oxygen mixture is = 66.6%

Explanation:

From General gas equation.

PV = nRT...............................  Equation 1

Where n = number of moles, V = volume, P = pressure, T = temperature, P = pressure, V = volume.

n = mass/molar mass .................. Equation 2

substituting equation 2 into equation 1.

PV = (mass/molar mass)RT

⇒ Mass/molar mass = PV/RT..................... Equation 3

But mass = Density × Volume

⇒ M = D × V.................... Equation 4

Where D = density, M = mass

Substituting equation 4 into equation 3

DV/molar mass = PV/RT............ Equation 5

Dividing both side of the equation by Volume (V) in Equation 5

D/molar mass = P/RT .............. Equation 6

Cross multiplying equation 6

D × RT = P × molar mass

∴ Molar mass = (D × RT)/P.................. Equation 7

Where D = 0.518 g/L , R = 0.0821 atm dm³/K.mol,

T = 25°C = 25 + 273 = 298 K,

P =721 mmHg = (721/760) atm= 0.949 atm

Substituting these values into equation 7

Molar mass = (0.518 × 0.0821 × 298)/0.949

Molar mass = 13.35 g/mole

The molar mass of the mixture is =13.35 g/mole

Let y be the mole fraction of Helium and 1-y be the mole fraction of oxygen.

∴ 13.35 = 4(y) + 32(1-y)

13.35 = 4y + 32 - 32y

Collecting like terms in the equation,

32y - 4y = 32 - 13.35

28y = 18.65

y = 18.65/28

y =0.666

y = 0.666 × 100 = 66.6%

∴The percentage by mole of Helium present in the Helium-Oxygen mixture is = 66.6%

Rama09 [41]

The magnetic field lines due to a straight, current-carrying wire are circular.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The concepts of Electromagnetism brought a new revolution to the science world. The idea is the source of many new modes of power and machines that reduces the manual work. Motors are the best example of machines that run on the concepts of electromagnetism. So the concept is that a current-carrying conductor induces a magnetic field in its nearby premise.

This magnetic field can perceive by the magnetic line of forces. Now, if we pour some iron dust around a current-carrying conductor, we'll see a concentric circular pattern around the straight wire whose centre will be at the conductor axis. The pattern of these magnetic lines of force may deflect with the variation of current in the wire but remain in the circular format.

If you are given force and time, you can determine power if you can know watts energy joules distance
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

distance

Explanation:

Distance is the missing quantity. It is needed to estimate the amount of work done by a force, and afterwards it is used to estimate the power, which is the work done over the time it took to complete it.
