Answer:

<u><em>Neutral</em></u>

Explanation:

The number of moles of solute is equal to product of the molar concentration (molarity) and the volume (in liters) of solution.

Since the volumes and the molar concentrations of the<em> NaOH </em>and <em>HCl </em>solutions mixed are equal, each one of them contributes the same number of moles of solute.

Since every mol of NaOH produces one mol of OH⁻ ions and every mol of HCl produces one mol of H⁺ ion, the number of moles of OH ⁻ and H⁺ in solution are equal.

Thus, OH⁻ and H⁺ ions will be neutralized by the reaction:

OH⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) ⇄ H₂O (l)

Which is strongly shifted to the right and has <em>neutral pH</em>.

Hence, you conclude that the approximate <em>pH of the solution is neutral.</em>

45 The mass of an unidentified metal sphere is 133 grams. Students determine the

Lisa [10]

Answer:

D Cobalt

Explanation:

The volume of the sphere is 40 -25 = 15 cm^3

Density = mass/volume = 133 gm / 15 cm^3 = 8.87 gm/cm^3

which corresponds to Cobalt from the chart

A cylinder was charged with 1.25 atm of oxygen gas, 6.73 atm of argon, and 0.895 atm of xenon. What is the mole fraction of each

katrin2010 [14]

Considering the Dalton's partial pressure, the mole fraction of each gas is:

$x_{oxygen}$ = 0.14
$x_{argon}$ = 0.76
$x_{xenon}$ = 0.10

<h3>Dalton's partial pressure</h3>

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure.

So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

$P_{T} =P_{1} +P_{2} +...+P_{n}$

where n is the amount of gases in the gas mixture.

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

Dalton's partial pressure law can also be expressed in terms of the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture. The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the number of moles of all the components present.

So in a mixture of two or more gases, the partial pressure of gas A can be expressed as:

$P_{A} =x_{A} P_{T}$

In summary, the total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas.

Mole fraction of each gas

In this case, you know that:

$P_{oxygen }$ = 1.25 atm
$P_{argon}$ = 6.73 atm
$P_{xenon}$ = 0.895 atm
$P_{T} =P_{oxygen} +P_{argon}+P_{xenon}$ = 1.25 atm + 6.73 atm + 0.895 atm= 8.875 atm
