Which of the following best defines one mole of a substance?

1 answer:

4 0

1 mole = 6.022x10²³ of anything. The number 6.022x10²³ is known as Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number is not a mass, it is just a unit of measure. Other units of measure include: 1 pair (2), 1 dozen (12), a baker's dozen (13), et. al. 1 mole is similar in that it simply represents a certain number of things; specifically, Avogadro's number of things.

Since we know 1 mole is not a mass, the first two options can be eliminated. On observing the third option, it cannot be correct because, as we said, 1 mole is equal to Avogadro's number—not an atom of a given substance.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Amount of substance present in Avogadro's number of particles of the substance

A gas mixture of Ne and Ar has a total pressure of 4.00 atm and contains 16.0 mol of gas. If the partial pressure of Ne is 2.75

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

5 moles of Argon is present in the mixture.

Explanation:

Total pressure of the gaseous mixture = 4 atm

Total number of moles = 16

Partial pressure of Ne = 2.75 atm

By Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure of gaseous mixture is the sum of partial pressures of individual gases which are non-reactive.

Hence:

$P_{total}=P_{Ar}+P_{Ne}\\4=P_{Ar}+2.75\\P_{Ar}=1.25\ atm$
