Assume that silver and gold form ideal, random mixtures. Calculate the mass of pure Ag needed to cause an entropy increase of 20

J/K when mixed with 100g of pure Au

Answer:

m_{Ag}=2,265.9g

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the definition of entropy in a random mixture is:

\Delta S=-n_TR\Sigma[x_i*ln(x_i)]

For this silver-gold mixture we write:

\Delta S=-(n_{Au}+n_{Ag})R\Sigma[\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )+\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )]

By knowing the moles of gold:

n_{Au}=100g*\frac{1mol}{197g} =0.508mol

It is possible to write the aforementioned formula in terms of the variable x representing the moles of silver:

20\frac{J}{mol}=-(0.508+x)8.314\frac{J}{mol*K} \Sigma[\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} )+\frac{x}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{x}{0.508+x} )]

Which can be solved via Newton-Raphson or a solver software, in this case, I will provide you the answer:

x=n_{Ag}=21.0molAg

So the mass is:

m_{Ag}=21.0mol*\frac{107.9g}{1mol}\\ \\m_{Ag}=2,265.9g

Best regards!

There are 0.3 moles of xenon gas in a 0.5-liter container at 30 degrees C. What is the pressure exerted by the xenon gas
Kaylis [27]
PV = nRT
P = (nRT)/V
P = (0.3 mol × 0.08206 atm-l/(mol-K) × (273.15 + 30) K)/(0.5 l)
P = 14.9258934 atm

How many grams of Na2CO3 must be dissolved into 155g of water to create a solution with a molarity of 8.20 mol/kg
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

135g Na2CO3

Explanation:

I'm going to assume you mean Molality which is mol solute/kg solvent

Molarity would be mol soute/ L solution

we know we have 155g of water which is .155 kg

essentially we have the equation:

mol/kg = 8.20

we substitute .155 in for kg and get:

mol/.155 = 8.20

Solving this  gives mol = 1.271

now we must convert to grams using the molar mass

Molar mass Na2CO3 = 106G/mol

so to cancel moles we multiply:

1.271mol x 106g/mol

= 135g
