A solution contains naphthalene (C10H8) dissolved in hexane (C6H14) at a concentration of 13.06% naphthalene by mass. Calculate

the vapor pressure at 25 ∘C of hexane above the solution. The vapor pressure of pure hexane at 25 ∘C is 151 torr.

Answer: The vapor pressure of the solution at 25^0C is 137 torr

Explanation:

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times x_2

where,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}= relative lowering in vapor pressure

i = Van'T Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

x_2 = mole fraction of solute  =\frac{\text {moles of solute}}{\text {total moles}}

Given : 13.06 g of napthalene is present in 100 g of solution, thus (100-13.06) g = 86.94 g of hexane

moles of solute (napthalene) = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{13.06g}{128g/mol}=0.102moles

moles of solvent (hexane) = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{86.94g}{86g/mol}=1.01moles

Total moles = moles of solute (napthalene)  + moles of solvent (hexane) = 0.102 + 1.01 = 1.112

x_2 = mole fraction of solute (napthalene) =\frac{0.102}{1.112}=0.0917

\frac{151-p_s}{151}=1\times 0.0917

p_s=137torr

Thus the vapor pressure of the solution at 25^0C is 137 torr

The isotope of an atom containing 31 protons and 39 neutrons suddenly has two neutrons added to it.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Gallium-72

Explanation:

The elements are identified by the number of protons of the atom, which is its atomic number.

In this case the number of protons 39 (atomic number 39) permit you to identify the element as gallium.

Now, to identify the isotope you tell the name of the element and add the mass number.

The mass number is the sum of the protons and the neutrons

In this case, the number of neutrons is the original 39 plus the 2 added suddenly, i.e. 39 + 2 = 41, so the mass number is 31 + 41 = 72

Therefore, the isotope is gallium - 72.
