Answer:

Mole fraction of CH_4O = 0.58

Mole fraction of C_2H_6O = 0.42

Explanation:

Let the mass of CH_4O and C_2H_6O = x g

Molar mass of CH_4O = 33.035 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles_{CH_4O}= \frac{x\ g}{33.035\ g/mol}

Moles_{CH_4O}=\frac{x}{33.035}\ mol

Molar mass of C_2H_6O = 46.07 g/mol

Thus,

Moles= \frac{x\ g}{46.07\ g/mol}

Moles_{C_2H_6O}=\frac{x}{46.07}\ mol

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

Mole\ fraction\ of\ CH_4O=\frac {n_{CH_4O}}{n_{CH_4O}+n_{C_2H_6O}}

Mole\ fraction\ of\ CH_4O=\frac{\frac{x}{33.035}}{\frac{x}{33.035}+\frac{x}{46.07}}=0.58

Mole fraction of C_2H_6O = 1 - 0.58 = 0.42

In systemic tissue fluids, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the reaction co2 + h2o → h2co3 (which then can dissociate int
NeTakaya
It is achievable for the same enzyme to catalyze reverse reactions for the reason that the direction of a reversible reaction is determined by the concentrations of reactants and products. In pulmonary circulation, the low CO2 concentration supports the making of CO2 and H2O.

Balance this equation. Pb(NO3)2(aq)+NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) -> 2NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Explanation:

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

This is how it starts out.

Left:

  • 2 NO3s
  • 1 Pb
  • 1 Na
  • 1 Cl

Right

  • 1 Na
  • 1 NO3
  • 1 Pb
  • 2 Cl

So the place to start with this equation is to bring the Cls up to 2

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

But the Nas are now out of kilter.

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+ 2NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Now the right has a problem. There's only 1 Na

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaCl(aq) -> 2NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Check it out. It looks like we are done.

Why are mass and volume not properties of substances
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity
