Answer: 83.11 torr

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Law of partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.

i.e Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .......

In this case,

Ptotal = 384 torr

P1 = 289 torr

P2 = 11.89 torr

P3 = ? (let the partial pressure of the remaining gas be Z)

Ptotal = P1 + P2 + Z

384 torr = 289 torr + 11.89 torr + Z

384 torr = 300.89 torr + Z

Z = 384 torr - 300.89 torr

Z = 83.11 torr

Thus, the partial pressure of the remaining gas is 83.11 torr.

A gas of unknown identity diffuses at a rate of 155 mL/s in a diffusion apparatus in which carbon dioxide diffuses at the rate o

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

19.07 g mol^-1

Explanation:

The computation of the molecular mass of the unknown gas is shown below:

As we know that

$\frac{Diffusion\ rate\ of unknown\ gas }{CO_{2}\ diffusion\ rate} = \frac{\sqrt{CO_{2\ molar\ mass}} }{\sqrt{Unknown\ gas\ molercular\ mass } }$

where,

Diffusion rate of unknown gas = 155 mL/s

CO_2 diffusion rate = 102 mL/s

CO_2 molar mass = 44 g mol^-1

Unknown gas molercualr mass = M_unknown

Now placing these values to the above formula

$\frac{155mL/s}{102mL/s} = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ 1.519 = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}}}{1.519} \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{44 g mol^{-1}}{(1.519)^{2}}$

After solving this, the molecular mass of the unknown gas is

= 19.07 g mol^-1

The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. How much energy (in kJ) is released b

brilliants [131]

Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, oxygen, to give off combustion products and heat. Complete combustion results when all of the fuel is consumed to form carbon dioxide and water, as in the case of a hydrocarbon fuel. Incomplete combustion results when insufficient oxygen reacts with the fuel, forming soot and carbon monoxide.

The complete combustion of propane proceeds through the following reaction:
$C_{3} H_{8}$ + $5O_{2}$ --> $3CO_{2}$ + $4H_{2}O$

Combustion is an exothermic reaction, which means that it gives off heat as the reaction proceeds. For the complete combustion of propane, the heat of combustion is (-)2220 kJ/mole, where the minus sign indicates that the reaction is exothermic.

The molar mass of propane is 44.1 grams/mole. Using this value, the number of moles propane to be burned can be determined from the mass of propane given. Afterwards, this number of moles is multiplied by the heat of combustion to give the total heat produced from the reaction of the given mass of propane.

14.50 kg propane x 1000 g x 1 mole propane x 2220 kJ 
1 kg 44.1 g 1 mole

= 729,931.97 kJ

Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have 8 electrons (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have 4 valence electrons, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an additional carbon. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have more area of interaction for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give more energy to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!

Answer:

Explanation:

Convection is single or multiphase fluid flow that occurs spontaneously due to the combined effects of material property heterogeneity and body forces on a fluid, most commonly density and gravity (see buoyancy). When the cause of the convection is unspecified, convection due to the effects of thermal expansion and buoyancy can be assumed. Convection may also take place in soft solids or mixtures where particles can flow.
