Answer:

The total vapor pressure is 84.29 mmHg

Explanation:

Step 1:  Data given

Solution = 40.00 (v/v) % benzene in CCl4

Temperature = 20.00 °C

The vapor pressure of pure benzene at 20.00 °C = 74.61 mmHg

Density of benzene is 0.87865 g/cm3

The vapor pressure of pure carbon tetrachloride is 91.32 mmHg

We suppose the total volume = 100 mL

Step 2: Calculate volume benzene and CCl4

40 % benzene = 40 mL

60 % mL CCl4 = 60 mL

Step 3: Calculate mass benzene

Mass = density * volume

Mass of benzene = 40.00 mL *  0.87865 g/mL = 35.146 g

Step 4: Calculate moles of benzene

Moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of benzene  = 35.146 grams / 78 g/mol  = 0.45059 mol

Step 5: Calculate mass of CCl4

Mass of CCl4 = 60 mL * 1.5940 g/mL = 95.64 g

Step 6: Calculate moles CCl4

Number of moles of CCl4 = 95.64 grams / 154g/mol = 0.62104 mol

Step 7: Calculate total number of moles

Total number of moles = moles benzene + moles CCl4

0.45059 moles + 0.62104 moles = 1.07163 mol

Step 8: Calculate mole fraction benzene and CCl4

Mole fraction = moles benzene / total moles

Mole fraction of benzene = 0.45059 / 1.07163 = 0.4205

Mole fraction of CCl4 = 0.62104 / 1.07163 = 0.5795

Step 9: Calculate partial pressure

Partial pressure of benzene = 0.4205 * 74.61 = 31.37 mmHg

Partial pressure of CCl4      = 0.5795 * 91.32 = 52.92 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 31.37 + 52.92 = 84.29 mmHg

The total vapor pressure is 84.29 mmHg

If two balls have the same volume, but ball A has twice as much mass as ball B, which one will have the greater density? ball A,
rewona [7]

Density (D) is defined as the amount or mass (m) of a substance present in a unit volume(V). It can be expressed mathematically as:

Density = Mass/Volume

i.e. D = m/V -------(1)

Units: g/cm3

a)

If m1, V1 and D1 = mass, volume  and density respectively of ball A

m2, V2 and D2 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball B

It is given that: V1 = V2; but m1 = 2m2

Based on equation (1) we have:

D1/D2 = (m1/V1)* (V2/m2) = (2m2/V2)*(V2/m2) = 2

Thus, density of ball A is twice that of B.

Ans: Ball A will have a greater density than B

b)

If m1, V1 and D1 = mass, volume  and density respectively of ball C

m2, V2 and D2 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball D

It is given that:

V1 = 3V2 and m2 = 1/3(m1) i.e m1 = 3m2

Therefore,

D1/D2 = (m1/V1)* (V2/m2) = (3m2/3V2)*(V2/m2) = 1

Thus, D1 = D2

Ans: Their densities are equal

c)

If m1, V1 and D1 = mass, volume  and density respectively of ball P

m2, V2 and D2 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball Q

It is given that:

m1 = m2 but V1 = 2V2

Therefore,

D1/D2 = (m1/V1)* (V2/m2) = (m2/2V2)*(V2/m2) = 1/2

Thus, D1 = 1/2(D2)

Ans: Ball Q will have a greater density.

d)

If m1, V1 and D1 = mass, volume  and density respectively of ball X

m2, V2 and D2 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball Y

It is given that:

V1 = 2V2 and m1 = 1/2(m2)

Therefore,

D1/D2 = (m1/V1)* (V2/m2) = ((1/2(m2)/2V2)*(V2/m2) = 1/4

Thus, D1 = 1/4(D2)

Ans: Ball Y will have a greater density.

How did uranium become present in Earth's upper crust? Choose one: A. It was delivered by comets that crashed into Earth's surfa
Luda [366]

Answer:

<em>Option A. It was delivered by comets that crashed into Earth's surface.</em>

Explanation:        

<em><u>Uranium (U) is a chemical element with atomic number 92.</u></em>        

<em />

<em>For many years, a large number of scientists have been studying the abundance and origin of the isotopes of uranium in Earth</em>. <u>According to some theories, the Earth's uranium was produced in one or more supernovae</u> (an explosive brightening of a star), in wich, the main process consists in the rapid capture of neutrons by seed nuclei at great rates. <u>Another theory proposes that uranium is created during the merger of two neutron stars</u> (neutron stars are very dense), because, when such dense bodies come closer together the gravitational force cause them to merge, producing huge amounts of hevy metals like uranium.                  

<u><em>Many analyses have been made of the uranium in rocks of the Earth. These measurements shows that the abundance of uranium is bigger in the crust and upper mantle of the Earth</em></u>.    

So, knowing that Earth's uranium was produced through one of these processes, <u><em>the best answer is option A, the uranium was delivered by comets that crashed into Earth's surface.</em></u>    

Have a nice day!
