Hello!

<span>We have the following statement data:
</span>
Data:
P_{Total} = 800 mmHg
P\% N_{2} = 60\%
P\% O_{2} = 40\%
P_{partial} = ? (mmHg)

<span>As the percentage is the mole fraction multiplied by 100:

</span>P =  X_{ O_{2} }*100

<span>The mole fraction will be the percentage divided by 100, thus:
</span><span>What is the partial pressure of oxygen in this mixture? 
</span>
X_{ O_{2} }  =  \frac{P}{100}
X_{ O_{2}} =  \frac{40}{100}
\boxed{X_{ O_{2}} = 0.4}


<span>To calculate the partial pressure of the oxygen gas, it is enough to use the formula that involves the pressures (total and partial) and the fraction in quantity of matter:
</span>
In relation to O_{2} :

\frac{P O_{2} }{P_{total}} = X_O_{2}
\frac{P O_{2} }{800} = 0.4
P_O_{2} = 0.4*800
\boxed{\boxed{P_O_{2} = 320\:mmHg}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

When 9.2 g of frozen N2O4 is added to a 0.50 L reaction vessel and the vessel is heated to 400 K and allowed to come to equilibr
Amanda [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of K_c for the given reaction is 1.435

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Given mass of N_2O_4 = 9.2 g

Molar mass of N_2O_4 = 92 g/mol

Volume of solution = 0.50 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{9.2g}{92g/mol\times 0.50L}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.20M

For the given chemical equation:

                 N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

<u>Initial:</u>          0.20

<u>At eqllm:</u>     0.20-x        2x

We are given:

Equilibrium concentration of N_2O_4 = 0.057

Evaluating the value of 'x'

\Rightarrow (0.20-x)=0.057\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.143

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}

[NO_2]_{eq}=2x=(2\times 0.143)=0.286M

[N_2O_4]_{eq}=0.057M

Putting values in above expression, we get:

K_c=\frac{(0.286)^2}{0.143}\\\\K_c=1.435

Hence, the value of K_c for the given reaction is 1.435

Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How many grams of a 150 g sample would you have after 120.5 days?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234  would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample  to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now  we start with 150 grams  of Thorium-234

150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1

75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2

34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3

17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4

8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}

Where

A_0  is the initial sample amount  

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.
