<u>Answer:</u> The mole fraction of oxygen gas is 0.479

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Partial pressure of methane = 143 mmHg

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas = 469 mmHg

Partial pressure of oxygen gas = 563 mmHg

Total pressure = (143 + 469 + 563) = 1175 mmHg

To calculate the mole fraction of oxygen gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{O_2}=p_T\times \chi_{O_2}

where,

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen gas = 563 mmHg

p_T = total pressure = 1175 mmHg

\chi_{O_2} = mole fraction of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

563mmHg=1175mmHg\times \chi_{O_2}\\\\\chi_{O_2}=\frac{563}{1175}=0.479

Hence, the mole fraction of oxygen gas is 0.479

Which element has a greater electronegativity?<br> fluorine (9) or radium (88)
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Fluorine

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Periodic Trends
  • Electronegativity - the tendency for an element to attract an electron to itself
  • Z-effective and Coulomb's Law, Forces of Attraction

Explanation:

The Periodic Trend for Electronegativity is up and to the right of the Periodic Table.

Fluorine is Element 9 and has 9 protons. Radium is Element 88 and has 88 protons. Therefore, Radium has a bigger Zeff than Flourine.

However, since Radium is in Period 7 while Fluorine is in Period 2, Radium has more core e⁻ than Fluorine does. This will create a much larger shielding effect, causing Radium's outermost e⁻ to have less FOA between them. Fluorine, since it has less core e⁻, the FOA between the nucleus and outershell e⁻ will be much stronger.

Therefore, Fluorine would attract an electron more than Radium, thus bringing us to the conclusion that Fluorine has a higher electronegativity.

A) all mechanical waves need a medium to travel through.
This is true because mechanical waves move in a wave like manner at the atomic level. This is why an table vibrates when you put a speaker on top of it .
