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

total pressure of 2.07 x 104 kPa, then what is the partial pressure of helium?

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>

In the reaction, Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --&gt; ZnCl2 (aq)+ H2(g), 25 grams of Zn are reacted with 17.5 g of HCl. How many grams of H2
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

0.480 g of H₂ are produced, in the reaction.

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

Zn(s)  +  2HCl → ZnCl₂ (aq) +  H₂ (g)

We havethe mass of both reactants, so we must work with them to find out the limiting reactant and then, determine the amount of H₂ produced.

Let's convert the mass to moles ( mass / molar mass)

25 g / 65.41 g/mol = 0.382 moles Zn

17.5 g / 36.45 g/mol = 0.480 moles HCl

Ratio is 1:2, so 1 mol of Zn react with the double of moles of HCl.

0.382 moles of Zn would need the double of moles to react, so (0.382 .2) = 0.764 moles of HCl. → We only have 0.480 moles, so the acid is the limiting.

Now let's determine the moles of H₂ formed.

Ratio is 2:1, so If i take account the moles I have, I will produce the half of moles of my product.

0.480 moles / 2 = 0.240 moles of H₂ are produced.

To find out the mass, we must multiply mol . molar mass

0.240 mol . 2g/mol = 0.480 g
