The vapor pressure of pure benzene is 750.0 torr and the vapor pressure of toluene is 300.0 torr at a certain temperature. You m

ake a solution by pouring "some" benzene with "some" toluene. You then place this solution in a closed container and wait for the vapor to come into equilibrium with the solution. Next, you condense the vapor. You put this liquid (the condensed vapor) in a closed container and wait for the vapor to come into equilibrium with the solution. You then condense this vapor and find the mole fraction of benzene in this vapor to be 0.669. Determine the mole fraction of benzene in the original solution, assuming the solution behaves ideally. Mole fraction =

Answer:

Mole fraction of benzene in pure solution is 0.4472

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of pure benzene= 750 torr

Vapor pressure of pure toulene= 300 torr

Mole fraction of benzene in vapor= 0.669

1/P=Xa/Pa+ Xb/Pb

Where

Xa = mole fraction of A in water

Xb = mole fraction of B in water

P= Total pressure

Pa= total vapor pressure of pure A

Pb = total vapor pressure of pure B

Xa+Xb=1

Let A be benzene and B be toulene

We have Xa=0.669 and Xb= 0.331

1/P= 0.669/750 + 0.331/300

1/P= 0.000892/torr + 0.001103/torr

1/P=0.001995/torr

P= 501.25torr

We have P= Pa+ Pb

Where Pa= XaPa0

And Pb=XbPb0

Where

Xa= mole fraction of A in solution

Xb= mole fraction of B in solution

Now, substitute the data into the formula

501.25torr=Xa750torr + (1- Xa) 300 torr

Xa450torr + 300torr

Xa(450torr)= 201.25torr

Xa= 0.4472

Therefore, mole fraction of benzene in pure solution is 0.4472

The most unusual characteristic of Uranus is _____.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

the axis is tilted at 98 degrees

Explanation:

Uranus is blue, not green; it has an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, not methane.  While it does have an icy cold temperature, that's not a very unusual characteristic for an outer planet.  However, the tilt of the axis is unusual; no other planet is tilted almost completely on its side!

How many moles of CO gas are in 34.6 L?
Troyanec [42]

moles of CO gas : 1.545

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Standard conditions for temperature and pressure are used as a reference in certain calculations or conditions

There are 2 conditions that are usually used as a reference : STP and RTP

Assuming the STP state :

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, Vm is 22.4 liters / mol.

Then for 34.6 L of CO gas :

\tt moles=\dfrac{34.6}{22.4}=1.545

The text describes the first three reactions of a metabolic pathway. Complete the sentences. Not all the terms will be placed. I
Nina [5.8K]

In reaction 1 of the Krebs cycle, acetyl‑CoA formed in the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction condenses with the four‑carbon compound to form <em>citrate </em>with the elimination of coenzyme A. Since the product has three carboxyl groups, this pathway is referred to as the cycle. In reaction 2 of the Krebs cycle, this product then undergoes to form<em> isocitrate. </em>The enzyme is called aconitase because the compound cis‑aconitate is the <em>intermediate product</em> of the reaction. Reaction 3 eliminates CO2 to form the five‑carbon dicarboxylic acid <em>α-cetoglutarate. </em>Oxidation also occurs, with electrons transferred from the substrate to <em>COO-</em> . Consequently, this reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.

In the image, you can see the reaction 2 in Krebs cycle is a two steps reaction with an intermediate cis-aconitase and a product called isocitrate.
