A tank at is filled with of chlorine pentafluoride gas and of sulfur hexafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal

gases under these conditions. Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of each gas, and the total pressure in the tank. Be sure your answers have the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

- Mole fraction of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= 0.265

- Partial Pressure of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= 16.05 kPa

- Mole fraction of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= 0.735

- Partial Pressure of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= 44.53 kPa

Total Pressure exerted by the gases = 60.58 kPa

Explanation:

First of, we calculate the number of moles of each gas present.

Number of moles = (Mass)/(Molar Mass)

For ClF₅

Mass = 4.28 g

Molar Mass = 130.445 g/mol

number of moles of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= (4.28/130.445) = 0.0328 moles

For SF₆

Mass = 13.3 g

Molar Mass = 146.06 g/mol

number of moles of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= (13.3/146.06) = 0.0911 moles

Total number of moles present = 0.0328 + 0.0911 = 0.1239 moles.

Using the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P = total pressure in the tank = ?

V = volume of the tank = 5.00 L = 0.005 m³

R = molar gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature of the tank = 20.9°C = 294.05 K

n = total number of moles present = 0.1239 moles

P × 0.005 = (0.1239 × 8.314 × 294.05)

P = 60,580.45 Pa = 60.58 kPa.

- Mole fraction of a particular component of interest = (number of moles of the component of interest) ÷ (total number of moles)

- Partial Pressure of a particular component of interest = (mole fraction of that component of interest) × (total pressure)

This is Dalton's law of Partial Pressure.

- Mole fraction of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= (0.0328/0.1239) = 0.265

- Partial Pressure of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= 0.265 × 60.58 = 16.05 kPa

- Mole fraction of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= (0.0911/0.1239) = 0.735

- Partial Pressure of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= 0.735 × 60.58 = 44.53 kPa

Total Pressure exerted by the gases = 16.04 + 44.53 = 60.58 kPa

Hope this Helps!!!

Caleb has a 860-kilogram car sitting in his back yard, gathering rust.
emmasim [6.3K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. 860 kg

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question we need to understand that;

  • Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
  • Weight, on the other hand, refers to the gravitational pull of an object to a given surface.
  • Mass is measured using a spring balance.

We also need to know that;

  • The mass of an object remains constant every where irrespective of the gravitational acceleration.
  • Therefore, an object on the surface of the earth would have the same mass as on the surface of the moon.
  • In this case; the mass of the car remains the same on the outer space as on the back yard.

What are some problems chemist must consider when developing new technologies?
Ratling [72]
The study of chemistry helps us understand the nature of the world around us. Chemistry is always developing to keep up with any phenomenon that appears in nature.
Therefore, scientists and chemists are always developing new technologies. However, chemists must very careful when developing these new technologies. They should consider any bad chemical reactions that might occur and also chemicals that harmful to either the individuals or the environment.
