with respect to composition, how is the compound made from hydrogen and oxygen different from mixtures of these two elements?

1 answer:

8 0

Each substance in the mixture keeps its own properties and can be easily separated from the mixture. In a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, molecules of both the gases will exist independently.
The compound on the other hand has properties different from the elements it contains. In water as a compound of hydrogen and oxygen what you will have is molecules of H20.

A mixture of ethyl acetate vapour and air has a relative saturation of 50% at 303 K and a total pressure of 100 kPa. If the vapo

AURORKA [14]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 0.087

Explanation :

The formula used for relative saturation is:

$\text{Relative saturation}=\frac{P_A}{P_A^o}$

where,

$P_A$ = partial pressure of ethyl acetate

$P_A^o$ = vapor pressure of ethyl acetate

Given:

Relative saturation = 50 % = 0.5

Vapor pressure of ethyl acetate = 16 kPa

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$0.5=\frac{P_A}{16kPa}$

$P_A=8kPa$

Now we have to calculate the molar saturation.

The formula used for molar saturation is:

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}$

and,

P(vapor free) = Total pressure - Vapor pressure

P(vapor) = $P_A$ = 8 kPa

So,

P(vapor free) = 100 kPa - 8 kPa = 92 kPa

The molar saturation will be:

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}$

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{8kPa}{92kPa}=0.087$

Therefore, the molar saturation is 0.087

yan [13]

Answer: The correct option is A,

--> a.) Transition metals have partially filled d subshells.

Explanation:

Transition elements are all metals of economic importance. They are found in the d- lock of the periodic table between group 2 and 3. They occupy three rows, with ten elements in each row. The term 'transition metals' refers only to an element which has PARTIALLY filled d orbitals. Typical example of transition metals include iron (Fe).

They have partially filled 3d orbitals which are responsible for the special properties of the metals. These include:

--> Physical properties: the transition metals have high boiling and melting points. They are hard, dense and lustrous. They are also good conductors of heat and electricity.

--> Chemical reactivity: In the s- block and p-block, the chemical properties of the elements in the same period vary, often quite markedly, from left to right. This does not happen with the transition metals because electrons are added progressively to the inner d-orbitals.

--> Variable oxidation states: they have variable oxidation states because 3d electrons are available for bond formation.
