Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello

(a) In this case, one uses the following formulas, which allow to compute the mass fraction of each component:\% O_2=\frac{m_{O_2}}{m_{O_2}+m_{N_2}+m_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{4kg}{4kg+5kg+7kg}*100\%=25\%O_2\\\% N_2=\frac{m_{N_2}}{m_{O_2}+m_{N_2}+m_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{5kg}{4kg+5kg+7kg}*100\%=31.25\%N_2\\\% CO_2=\frac{m_{CO_2}}{m_{O_2}+m_{N_2}+m_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{7kg}{4kg+5kg+7kg}*100\%=43.75\%CO_2

(b) For the mole fractions, it is necessary to find all the components' moles by using their molar mass as shown below:

n_{O_2}=4kgO_2*\frac{1kmolO_2}{32kgO_2} =0.125kmolO_2\\n_{N_2}=5kgN_2*\frac{1kmolN_2}{28kgN_2} =0.179kmolN_2\\n_{CO_2}=7kgCO_2*\frac{1kmolCO_2}{44kgCO_2} =0.159kmolCO_2

Now, the mole fractions:

x_{O_2}=\frac{n_{O_2}}{n_{O_2}+n_{N_2}+n_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{0.125kmolO_2}{0.125kmolO_2+0.179kmolN_2+0.159kmolCO_2}*100\%=27\%O_2\\x_{N_2}=\frac{n_{N_2}}{n_{O_2}+n_{N_2}+n_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{0.179kmolN_2}{0.125kmolO_2+0.179kmolN_2+0.159kmolCO_2}*100\%=38.7\%N_2\\ x_{CO_2}=\frac{n_{CO_2}}{n_{O_2}+n_{N_2}+n_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{0.159kmolCO_2}{0.125kmolO_2+0.179kmolN_2+0.159kmolCO_2}*100\%=34.3\%CO_2

(c) Finally the average molar mass is computed considering the molar fractions and each component's molar mass:

M_{average}=0.27*32g/mol+0.387*28g/mol+0.343*44g/mol=34.57g/mol

And the gas constant:

Rg=0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*\frac{1mol}{34.57g}=0.00237\frac{atm*L}{g*K}

Best regards.

For the same reaction above, if 32 grams of AlCl3 is combined with excess AgNO3, how many grams of AgCl can be made
ella [17]

Answer:

103.2 g of AgCl can be made in the reaction

Explanation:

We state the reaction to analyse the problem:

AlCl₃ + 3AgNO₃ →  3AgCl  +  Al(NO₃)₃

We convert the mass of chloride to moles:

32 g . 1mol/ 133.34g = 0.240 moles

Ratio is 1:3. See the stoichiometry

1 mol of aluminum chloride can produce 3 moles of AgCl

Then, 0.240 will produce (0.240 . 3)/1= 0.720 moles.

We convert the moles to mass: 0.720 mol . 143.32g/1mol = 103.2 g

What Grant felt was something known as a ‘static current’. Experiencing a light electrical shock when you touch another person, (in this case when Grant touched Olivia) is when electrons move quickly towards the protons.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

2H+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2HCl(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq) → 2H2O(l)+CaCl2(aq)

This equation is balanced, we do not have the change any coefficients.

Step 2: The netionic equation

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will.

2H+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

After canceling those spectator ions in both side, look like this:

2H+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l)
