A rigid, closed vessel of volume V =648 liters maintained at constant temperature T=365 K is loaded with 112 mol of n-hexane, 15

5 mol of n-heptane, and 14 mol of nitrogen. Calculate the pressure in the vessel and the composition of all phases present at equilibrium. Make the following three assumptions: a) n-hexane and n-heptane form an ideal liquid solution, b) the vapor phase is ideal, c) nitrogen has negligible solubility in the liquid phase at the conditions of interest. The vapor pressures of n-hexane and n-heptane at T=365 K are P1=0.199 MPa and P2=0.083 MPa, respectively. Their (liquid) molar volumes are V¯ 1=0.146 l/mol and V¯ 1=0.162 l/mol, respectively.

Answer:

P = 2.92 atm

Explanation:

With the three assumptions in mind, the system consists of:

  • A liquid phase containing n-hexane and n-heptane, and
  • A gaseous phase containing n-hexane vapor, n-heptane vapor, and nitrogen gas.

First we use PV=nRT to calculate the moles of n-hexane and n-heptane in the gaseous phase:

  • n-hexane:

P = 0.199 MPa ⇒ 0.199 * 1.869 = 1.964 atm

  • 1.964 atm * 648 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 365 K
  • n = 42.52 moles
  • n-heptane:

P = 0.083 MPa ⇒ 0.083 * 1.869 = 0.155 atm

  • 0.155 atm * 648 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 365 K
  • n = 3.358 moles

So <u>the gaseous phase consists of 42.52 moles of n-hexane, 3.358 moles of n-heptane, and 14 mol of nitrogen</u>.

For the liquid phase, we <u>calculate the remaining moles of n-hexane and n-heptane</u>. Then we<u> convert to liters</u>, using their molar volumes:

  • n-hexane:
  • n = 112 mol - 42.52 mol = 69.48 mol
  • 69.48 mol * 0.146 L/mol = 10.14 L
  • n-heptane:
  • n = 155 mol - 3.358 mol = 151.642 mol
  • 151.642 mol * 0.162 L/mol = 24.57 L

So the liquid phase occupies (10.14+24.57) = 34.71 L, and <u>contains 69.48 mol of n-hexane and 151.64 mol of n-heptane</u>.

Finally, to<u> calculate the pressure in the vessel</u>, we use PV=nRT:

P = ?

V = 648 - 34.71 = 613.29 L

n = 42.52 mol hexane + 3.35 mol heptane + 14 mol nitrogen = 59.87 mol

T = 365 K

  • P * 613.29 L = 59.87 mol *  0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 365 K
  • P = 2.92 atm

The change in entropy is related to the change in the number of moles of gas molecules. Determine the change in moles of gas for
tester [92]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The change in entropy is related to the change in the number of moles of gas molecules. Determine the change in moles of gas for each of the reactions and decide if the entropy increases decreases or has little to no change:

A. K(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow KO_2(s)

B. CO(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)

C. CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

D. N_2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO(g)+O_2(g)

Answer: A. K(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow KO_2(s) : decreases

B. CO(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+H_2(g) : decreases

C. CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g): no change

D. N_2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO(g)+O_2(g) : increases

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the randomness of the system.

Entropy is said to increase when the randomness of the system increase, is said to decrease when the randomness of the system decrease and is said to have no change when the randomness remains same.

In reaction K(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow KO_2(s), as gaseous reactant is changed to solid product, entropy decreases.

In reaction CO(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+H_2O(g), as 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changed to 2 moles of gaseous product, entropy decreases.

In reaction CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g), as 3 moles of gaseous reactants is changed to 3 moles of gaseous product, entropy has no change.

In reaction  N_2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO(g)+O_2(g) , as 1 mole of gaseous reactant is changed to 3 moles of gaseous product, entropy increases.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer is: The solution has now become a good conductor of electricity.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociate on positive ions or cations of hydogen (H⁺) and negative ions or anions of chlorine (Cl⁻) accordinf to balanced chemical reaction:

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

When there are free cations and ions, water solution can conduct electricity.

Explain how plate tectonics are responsible for where we find some of our natural resources.
Mekhanik [1.2K]
At divergent boundaries, plates separate, forming a narrow rift valley. Here, geysers spurt super-heated water, and magma, or molten rock, rises from the mantle and solidifies into basalt, forming new crust. Thus, at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust is created.
