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 $\boxed{\textbf{166 torr}}$}

Which of these molecular electron configurations describe an excited state?
kherson [118]
<span>We have ground strate configurations of electrons,if electrons are filled in order of increasing energy. When there are electrons are in higher orbitals, we have an atom in an excited state. B, and C are excited states. In B, 2 electrons can fit in the 4s orbital, and that should fill fully before the 4p orbitals. In C, the same is true for 5s and 5p In D, this is not an excited state because 4s fills before 3d</span>

. What is a carbonyl group? Draw the carbonyl groups that are characteristic of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters
Elan Coil [88]

Answer :

  • Carbonyl group : It is a functional group composed of a carbon atom that double bonded to oxygen atom. It is represented as C=O

Carboxylic group : It is the class of organic compound in which the carboxylic (-COOH) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as carboxylic.

The general formula of carboxylic is, C_nH_{2n+1}COOH. According to the IUPAC naming, the carboxylic are named as alkanoic acids.

Aldehyde group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CHO) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as aldehyde.

The general representation of aldehyde is, R-CHO. According to the IUPAC naming, the aldehyde are named as alkanals.

Ketone group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ketone.

The general representation of ketone is, R-CO-R^'. According to the IUPAC naming, the ketone are named as alkanone.

Ester group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-COO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ester.

The general representation of ester is, R-COO-R^'. According to the IUPAC naming, the ester are named as alkyl alkanoate.

"How much NH4Cl, when present in 2.00 liters of 0.200 M ammonia, will give a solution with pH = 8.20? For NH3, Kb = 1.8 x 10-5"
Andru [333]

Answer:

245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH

Explanation:

The mixture of NH3/NH4Cl produce a buffer. We can find the pH of a buffer using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where [A⁻] is the molar concentration of the base, NH₃, and [HA] molar concentration of the acid, NH₄⁺. This molar concentration can be taken as the moles of each chemical</em>

<em />

First, we need to find pKa of NH₃ using Kb. Then, the moles of NH₃ and finally replace these values in H-H equation to solve moles of NH₄Cl we need to obtain the desire pH.

  • <em>pKa NH₃/NH₄⁺</em>

pKb = - log Kb

pKb = -log 1.8x10⁻⁵ = <em>4.74</em>

pKa = 14 - pKb

pKa = 14 - 4.74

pKa = 9.26

  • <em>Moles NH₃</em>

<em>2.00L ₓ (0.200mol NH₃ / L) = 0.400 moles NH₃</em>

  • <em>H-H equation:</em>

pH = pKa + log [NH₃] / [NH₄Cl]

8.20 = 9.26 + log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

-1.06 =  log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

0.0087 =  [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

[NH₄Cl] = 0.400 moles / 0.0087

[NH₄Cl] = 4.59 moles of NH₄Cl we need to add to original solution to obtain a pH of 8.20. In grams (Using molar mass NH₄Cl=53.491g/mol):

4.59 moles NH₄Cl ₓ (53.491g / mol) =

<h3>245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH</h3>

Chất có ở đâu ? nước tự nhiên là chất hay hỗn hợp
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Water, H2O, is a pure substance, a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen. Although water is the most abundant substance on earth, it is rarely found naturally in its pure form. Most of the time, pure water has to be created. Pure water is called distilled water or deionized water.
