Answer:

a) Xbenzene = 0.283

b) Xtoluene = 0.717

Explanation:

At T = 20°C:

⇒ vapor pressure of benzene (P*b) = 75 torr

⇒ vapor pressure toluene (P*t) = 22 torr

Raoult's law:

  • Pi = Xi.P*i

∴ Pi: partial pressure of i

∴ Xi: mole fraction

∴ P*i: vapor pressure at T

a) solution: benzene (b) + toluene (t)

∴ Psln = 37 torr;   at T=20°C

⇒ Psln = Pb + Pt

∴ Pb = (Xb)*(P*b)

∴ Pt = (Xt)*(P*t)

∴ Xb + Xt = 1

⇒ Psln = 37 torr = (Xb)(75 torr) + (1 - Xb)(22 torr)

⇒ 37 torr - 22 torr = (75 torr)Xb - (22 torr)Xb

⇒ 15 torr = 53 torrXb

⇒ Xb = 15 torr / 53 torr

⇒ Xb = 0.283

b) Xb + Xt = 1

⇒ Xt = 1 - Xb

⇒ Xt = 1 - 0.283

⇒ Xt = 0.717

The rate of effusion of oxygen to an unknown gas is 0.935. what is the other gas?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

N2

Explanation:

Rate of effusion is defined by Graham's Law:  

(Rate 1/Rate 2) = (sqrt (M2)/ sqrt (M1))

(Where M is the molar mass of each substance. )

Molar Mass of oxygen, O2, is 32 (M1).

Rate of effusion of O2 to an unknown gas is .935(Rate 1).  

Rate 2 is unknown so put 1.

Solve for x (M2).

.935/1 = sqrt x/ sqrt32

.935 x sqrt 32 = sqrt x

5.29 = sq rt x

5.29^2 = 27.975 = 28  

N2 has a molar mass of 28 so it is the correct gas.

How to separate a solid for a solution
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Evaporation is the method of separating a solid (solute) from a homogeneous solution.

in this method, the solution is heated until the solvent gets evaporated in the form of vapor and the solute is left behind as residue.

How much heat is gained when a 50.32g piece of aluminum is heated from 9.0°c to 16°c
Rashid [163]

Answer: 317 joules

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) gained by aluminium depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

In this case,

Q = ?

Mass of aluminium = 50.32g

C = 0.90J/g°C

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 16°C - 9°C = 7°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 50.32g x 0.90J/g°C x 7°C

Q = 317 joules

Thus, 317 joules of heat is gained.

A liquid occupies a volume of 5.0 L has a mass of 6.0 kg. what is the density of a the lights in kg/L
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Hey there! :

Volume = 5.0 L

mass = 6.0 Kg

Therefore:

Density = mass / Volume

Density = 6.0 / 5.0

Density = 1.2 kg/L
