Answer:

166 torr

Explanation:

Let’s call ethane Component 1 and propane Component 2.

According to Raoult’s Law,  

p_{1} = \chi_{1}p_{1}^{\circ}\\p_{2} = \chi_{2}p_{2}^{\circ}

where

p₁ and p₂ are the vapour pressures of the components above the solution

χ₁ and χ₂ are the mole fractions of the components

p₁° and p₂° are the vapour pressures of the pure components.

Data:

p₁° = 304 torr

p₂° =   27 torr

n₁ = n₂

1. Calculate the mole fraction of each component

χ₁ = n₁/(n₁ + n₂)

χ₁ = n₁/n₁ + n₁)

χ₁ = n₁/(2n₁)

χ₁ = ½

χ₁ = 0.0.5

χ₂ = 1- χ₁ = 1- 0.5 = 0.5

2. Calculate the vapour pressure of the mixture

p_{1} = 0.5 \times \text{304 torr} = \text{ 152 torr}\\p_{2} = 0.5 \times \text{27 torr} = \text{ 13.5 torr}\\p_{\text{tot}} = p_{1} + p_{2} = \text{152 torr + 13.5 torr} = \textbf{166 torr}

\text{The vapour pressure above the solution is $\boxed{\textbf{166 torr}}$}

Match the atoms which might substitute for one another. Match the items in the left column to the items in the right column.
valkas [14]
Atoms which might substitute for one another can be found in the same column in the periodic table. 
So, since Si and C are found in the same column, they can substitute each other.
1. Si = C
2. K = Na
3. Nb = V
4. Cu = Ag
5. P = As
6. Mg = Ca

Using the following combustion reaction, describe how it follows the laws of conservation of mass and energy. CH 4 +2O 2 CO 2 +2
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that "mass in a system remains constant and that the mass of the product is remains the same as that of the reactants".

Law of conservation of energy states that "energy is neither created nor destroyed in the course of chemical or physical change but can be transformed from one form to another".

 Let us properly write the equation:

               CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

For the conservation of mass:

  C has 1mole on both sides

   H has 4mole on both sides

   O has 4 mole on both sides

For energy, during combustion process, the methane CH₄ burns to liberate heat energy. This is an energy conversion process in which chemical energy in methane releases heat energy.
