Answer : The partial pressure of N_2 and H_2 is, 216.5 mmHg and 649.5 mmHg

Explanation :

According to the Dalton's Law, the partial pressure exerted by component 'i' in a gas mixture is equal to the product of the mole fraction of the component and the total pressure.

Formula used :

p_i=X_i\times p_T

X_i=\frac{n_i}{n_T}

So,

p_i=\frac{n_i}{n_T}\times p_T

where,

p_i = partial pressure of gas

X_i = mole fraction of gas

p_T = total pressure of gas

n_i = moles of gas

n_T = total moles of gas

The balanced decomposition of ammonia reaction will be:

2NH_3\rightarrow N_2+3H_2

Now we have to determine the partial pressure of N_2 and H_2

p_{N_2}=\frac{n_{N_2}}{n_T}\times p_T

Given:

n_{N_2}=1\\\\n_{H_2}=3\\\\n_{T}=4\\\\p_T=866mmHg

p_{N_2}=\frac{1}{4}\times (866mmHg)=216.5mmHg

and,

p_{H_2}=\frac{n_{H_2}}{n_T}\times p_T

Given:

n_{H_2}=1\\\\n_{H_2}=3\\\\n_{T}=4\\\\p_T=866mmHg

p_{H_2}=\frac{3}{4}\times (866mmHg)=649.5mmHg

Thus, the partial pressure of N_2 and H_2 is, 216.5 mmHg and 649.5 mmHg

A mouse is placed in a sealed chamber with air at 769.0 torr. This chamber is equipped with enough solid KOH to absorb any CO2 a
svlad2 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial pressure of air = 769.0 torr

Final pressure of air = 717.1 torr

Pressure of oxygen = Pressure decreased = Initial pressure - Final pressure = (769.0 - 717.1) torr = 51.9 torr

To calculate the amount of oxygen gas consumed, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 51.9 torr

V = Volume of the gas = 2.20 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 292 K

R = Gas constant = 62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

51.9torr\times 2.20L=n\times 62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 292K\\\\n=\frac{51.9\times 2.20}{62.364\times 292}=0.0063mol

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.0063 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0063mol=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen gas}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of oxygen gas}=(0.0063mol\times 32g/mol)=0.202g

Hence, the amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.

What mass of H2 is needed to react with 8.75 g of O2 according to the following equation: O2(g) + H2(g) → H2O(g)?
alina1380 [7]

Mass of H₂ needed to react with O₂ : 1.092 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight / volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

Reaction

O₂(g) + 2H₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

mass of O₂ : 8.75 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{8.75}{32}=0.273

From the equation, mol ratio of O₂ : H₂ = 1 : 2, so mol H₂ :

\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.273=0.546

Mass H₂ (MW=2 g/mol) :

\tt 0.546\times 2=1.092~g

Compare a mixture and a compound. How are they alike?
harina [27]

Answer:

1.Difference.

Mixtures are physically combined and can be separated by physical means while compounds are chemically combined and are separated by chemical means.

2.Mixtures do not have mixed boiling and melting points while compounds have mixed boiling and melting points.

2.Similarity.

Both mixtures and compounds are composed of two or more substances or elements combined.

Both can be separated.
