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>

Is nickel cyanide a ionic or covalent bond
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

Because there's a metal and nonmetal present in this bond, it is ionic. Covalent bonds occur when there are only metals present. Hope this helps.

What are the ionic bonds
zhuklara [117]

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are bonds formed as a result of the electrostatic attraction between two species.

  • This bond type is an interatomic bond.
  • It forms when two specie with a large electronegative difference between them combines.
  • This is usually a metal and a non-metal.
  • The metal loses its valence electrons and becomes positively charged.
  • The non-metal gains the electron and becomes negatively charged.
  • An electrostatic attraction between the two specie leads to the formation of an ionic bond.
  • They are solids with a high melting point.
  • They are soluble in polar solvents.

Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and your knowledge of ionization to help you answer this question. Aspirin is a weak acid
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The protonated form is predominant when aspirin is absorbed more readily. The ratio of conjugate base to acid is 1 to 100.

Explanation:

Aspirin is more readily absorbed when it is protonated, that is when pH is lower than pKa (<em>more H⁺ available in the medium</em>). We can confirm this using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for pH = 1.5:

pH = pKa +log(\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid} )\\1.5=3.5 +log(\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid} )\\-2.0=log(\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid} )\\10^{-2.0} =\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid}\\\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid}=0.01=\frac{1}{100}

When aspirin is absorbed more readily the ratio of conjugate base to acid is 1 to 100, being the acid the <em>predominant</em> form.
