Answer:

157.29 Torr

Explanation:

This question may be solved by the mole fraction.

Mole fraction → Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of gas / Total pressure

If the atmosphere is about 21% you assume that the mole fraction is 0.21 so:

0.21 = Partial pressure of gas / Total pressure

0.21 = Partial pressure of gas / 749 Torr

Partial pressure of the gas = 749 Torr . 0.21 → 157.29 Torr

A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is

Airida [17]

Answer:

the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction is 616 °C

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

First we calculate the Volume of the steel cylinder;

V = πr²h

radius r = Diameter / 2 = 27 cm / 2 = 13.5 cm

height h = 32.4 cm

so we substitute

V = π × ( 13.5 cm )² × 32.4 cm

V = π × 182.25 cm × 32.4 cm

V = 18550.79 cm³

V = 18.551 L

given that; maximum safe pressure P = 3.10 MPa = 30.5946 atm

vessel contains 0.218kg or 218 gram of carbon monoxide gas

molar mass of carbon monoxide gas is 28.010 g/mol

moles of carbon monoxide gas n = 218 gram / 28.010 g/mol = 7.7829 mol

we know that;

PV = nRT

solve for T

T = PV / nR

we know that gas constant R = 0.0820574 L•atm•mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

so we substitute

T = ( 30.5946 × 18.551 ) / ( 7.7829 × 0.082 )

T = 567.5604 / 0.6381978

T = 889.317387 K

T = ( 889.317387 - 273.15 ) °C

T = 616.167 ≈ 616 °C { 3 significant digits }

Therefore, the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction is 616 °C

A student writes the following explanation of how one type of compound is formed. these compounds are made by the repeated joini

In the given question according to the information the process of polymerization is an addition polymerization.

<h3>What is polymerization?</h3>

Polymerization is a process in which addition of many small molecules takes place for the formation of a large three dimensional substance known as polymer.

In the polymerization of polyethene the small repeating molecule is ethene and in this process product formed due to the addition process to the double bond of the ethene.

In condensation polymerisation removal of water molecule or any other molecule takes place.
In dehydrogenation polymerisation removal of hydrogen molecule takes place.
In dehydrohalogenation polymerisation removal of hydrogen halide molecule takes place.

Hence given process is an addition polymerisation.

Write the balanced equation. Then calculate the volume of 0.65 M HCl required to completely neutralize 400.0 ml of 0.88 M KOH.

Misha Larkins [42]

Hello!

The balanced equation for the neutralization of KOH is the following:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

To calculate the volume of HCl required, we can apply the following equation:

$moles HCl = moles KOH \\ \\ cHCl*vHCl=cKOH*vKOH \\ \\ vHCl= \frac{cKOH*vKOH}{cHCl}= \frac{400 mL*0,88M}{0,65M}= 541,54mL$

So, the required volume of HCl is 541,54 mL
