Trimix 10/50 is a gas mixture that contians 10% oxygen and 50% helium, and the rest is nitrogen. If a tank of trimix 10/50 has a

Answer: 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

Dalton's law <u>states that the sum of the partial pressures of each gas equals the total pressure of the gas mixture.</u> According to this law,

Pi = xi P

where Pi is the partial pressure of the gas i, xi is the mole fraction of the gas i in the gas mixture and P is the total pressure.

The mole fraction <u>is defined as the quotient between the moles of solute (ni) and the total moles of the mixture (nt)</u>, which is calculated by adding the moles of all its components:

xi = \frac{n_{i} }{n_{t} }

In the Trimix 10/50 mix you have 10% oxygen, 50% helium and 40% nitrogen.

To calculate the total number of moles of the mixture and thus determine the molar fraction of helium, we consider 100 g and calculate the number of moles that represent 10 g of O₂ (n₁), 50 g of He (n₂) and 40 g of N₂ (n₃):

n₁ =  10 g x \frac{1 mol}{31.998 g} = 0.313 mol

n₂ =  50 g x \frac{1 mol}{8.005 g} = 6.246 mol

n₃ =  40 g x \frac{1 mol}{28.013 g} = 1.428 mol

Then the total number of moles (nt) will be:

nt = n₁ + n₂ + n₃ = 0.313 mol + 6.246 mol +1.428 mol

nt = 7,987 mol

Then, the mole fraction of helium (x₂) in the mixture will be,

x₂ =  \frac{6.246 mol}{7.987 mol} = 0.78

and the partial pressure of helium in the mixture, according to Dalton's law, will be:

P₂ = x₂ P = 0.78 x 2.07 x 10⁴ kPa

P₂= 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

So, <u>the partial pressure of helium if a tank of trimix 10/50 has a total pressure of 2.07 x 104 kPa is  1.61 x 10⁴ kPa</u>

16. What is a pure substance formed when two or more different elementscombine called?A. compoundB. moleculeC. element
Lana71 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Compound. Option A is correct

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

When two or more different elements combines, a compound is formed. For instance, if carbon and oxygen combines, carbondioxide is formed according to the equation;

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

From the reaction, carbon and oxygen are the elements while carbondioxide is the compound. Hence we can conclude that a pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine called compound.

How many milliliters of 0.0896M LiOH are required to titrate 25.0 mL of 0.0759M HBr to the equivalence point?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

V_{LiOH}=21.8mL

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, during titration at the equivalence point, we find that the moles of the base equals the moles of the acid:

n_{LiOH}=n_{HBr}

That it terms of molarities and volumes we have:

M_{LiOH}V_{LiOH}=M_{HBr}V_{HBr}

Next, solving for the volume of lithium hydroxide we obtain:

V_{LiOH}=\frac{M_{HBr}V_{HBr}}{M_{LiOH}} =\frac{0.0759M*25.0mL}{0.0896M} \\\\V_{LiOH}=21.8mL

Best regards.
