<u>Answer:</u> The vapor pressure of the solution is 43.55 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For water:</u>

Given mass of water = 35.0 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of water}=\frac{35.0g}{18g/mol}=1.944mol

  • <u>For ethyl alcohol:</u>

Given mass of ethyl alcohol = 100.0 g

Molar mass of ethyl alcohol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of ethyl alcohol}=\frac{100.0g}{46g/mol}=2.174mol

Total moles of solution = [1.944 = 2.174] moles = 4.118 moles

  • Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

<u>For water:</u>

\chi_{\text{water}}=\frac{n_{\text{water}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}

\chi_{water}=\frac{1.944}{4.118}=0.472

<u>For ethyl alcohol:</u>

\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}

\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{2.174}{4.118}=0.528

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of the system is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each component present in it.

To calculate the vapor pressure of the solution, we use the law given by Dalton, which is:

P_T=\sum_{i=1}^n (p_i\times \chi_i)

Or,

P_T=[(p_{\text{water}}\times \chi_{\text{water}})+(p_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}\times \chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 23.8 mmHg

Vapor pressure of ethyl alcohol = 61.2 mmHg

Putting values in above equation, we get:

p_T=[(23.8\times 0.472)+(61.2\times 0.528)]\\\\p_T=43.55mmHg

Hence, the vapor pressure of the solution is 43.55 mmHg

The reaction H2SO4 + 2 NaOH -&gt; Na2SO4 + 2H2O represents an acid-base tritration. The equivalence point occurs when 24.75 mL o
artcher [175]
            moles NaOH = c · V = 0.2432 mmol/mL · 24.75 mL = 6.0192 mmol
            moles H2SO4 = 6.0192 mmol NaOH · 1 mmol H2SO4 / 2 mmol NaOH = 3.0096 mmol
Hence
            [H2SO4]= n/V = 3.0096 mmol / 38.94 mL = 0.07729 M
The answer to this question is  [H2SO4] = 0.07729 M

The statement is true in this situation is C. The size of Ffric is the same as the size of Fapp:

From the diagram, since the body is in equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces equals zero. Also, the sum of horizontal forces equal zero.

So, ∑Fx = 0 and ∑Fy = 0

Since Fapp acts in the negative x - direction and Ffric acts in the positive x - direction,

∑Fx = -Fapp + Ffric = 0

-Fapp + Ffric = 0

Fapp = Ffric

Also, since Fgrav acts in the negative y - direction and Fnorm acts in the positive y - direction,

∑Fy = Fnorm + (-Fgrav) = 0

Fnorm - Fgrav = 0

Fnorm = Fgrav

So, we see that the size of Fapp <u>equals</u> size of Ffric and the size of Fnorm <u>equals</u> the size of Fgrav.

So, the correct option is C

The statement which is true in this situation is C. The size of Ffric is the same as the size of Fapp.

How many moles of co2 are produced when 5.20 mol of ethane are burned in an excess of oxygen?
galben [10]
<span>2C2H6 + 7O2 = 4CO2 + 6H2O
</span>
According to the equation of the reaction of ethane combustion, ethane and carbon dioxide have following stoichiometric ratio:

n(C2H6) : n(CO2) = 1 : 2

n(CO2) = 2 x n(C2H6) 

n(CO2) = 2 x 5.2 = 10.4 mole of CO2 is formed
