To achieve a complete set of valence electrons, atoms must fulfill the octet rule. What must atoms do to obey this rule?

A solution contains 42.0 g of heptane (C7H16) and 50.5 g of octane (C8H18) at 25 ∘C. The vapor pressures of pure heptane and pur

Kruka [31]

Answer:

(a) 22.3 torr; 5.6 torr; (b) 27.9 torr; (c) 77.7 % heptane; 23.3 % octane

(d) Heptane is more volatile than octane

Explanation:

We can use Raoult's Law to solve this problem.

It states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction. In symbols,

$p_{i} = \chi_{i} p_{i}^{\circ}$

(a) Vapour pressure of each component

Let heptane be Component 1 and octane be Component 2.

(i) Moles of each component

$n_{1} = \text{42.0 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}} = \text{0.4192 mol}\\n_{2} = \text{50.5 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{114.23 g}} = \text{0.4421 mol}$

(ii) Total moles

$n_{\text{tot}} = 0.4192 + 0.4421 = \text{0.8613 mol}$

(iiii) Mole fractions of each component

$p_{1} = 0.4867 \times 45.8 = \textbf{22.3 torr}\\p_{2} = 0.5133 \times 10.9 = \ \textbf{5.6 torr}$

(iv) Partial vapour pressures of each component

$p_{1} = 0.4867 \times 45.8 = \textbf{22.3 torr}\\p_{2} = 0.5133 \times 10.9 = \textbf{5.6 torr}$

(b) Total pressure

$p_{\text{tot}} = p_{1} + p_{2} = 22.3 + 5.6 = \text{27.9 torr}$

(c) Mass percent of each component in vapour

$\chi_{1} = \dfrac{p_{1}}{p_{\text{Tot}}} = \dfrac{22.3}{27.9} =0.799\\\chi_{2} = \dfrac{p_{2}}{p_{\text{Tot}} }= \dfrac{5.6}{27. 9} =0.201$

The ratio of the mole fractions is the same as the ratio of the moles.

$\dfrac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} = \dfrac{0.799}{0.201}$

If we have 1 mol of vapour, we have 0.799 mol of heptane and 0.201 mol of octane

$m_{1} = 0.799 \times 100.20 = \text{80.1 g}\\m_{2} = 0.201\times 114.23 = \text{23.0 g}\\m_{\text{tot}} = 80.1 + 23.0 = \text{103.1 g}\\\\\text{ mass percent heptane} = \dfrac{80.1}{103.1} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{77.7\, \%}\\\\\text{ mass percent octane} = \dfrac{23.0}{103.1} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{22.3\, \%}}$

(d) Enrichment of vapour

The vapour is enriched in heptane because heptane is more volatile than octane.

Darya [45]

<span>The average speed of the gas is related to the kinetic energy of the gas. The kinetic energy of the gas is also related to the temperature of the gas. If the average speed of the gas is closer to zero, it means that it has very low motion or kinetic energy. This can be inferred that the gas has a very low temperature. At absolute zero, the motion of all the gas molecules stops. This means that the kinetic energy of the gas is also zero. Zero kinetic energy means zero average speed.</span> <span>So, the answer is cylinder B. The average speed of the gas in cylinder B is closest to zero.</span>
