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

Which statement best describes the compressibility of a gas? A Increasing the temperature of a gas decreases the pressure. B Inc
k0ka [10]

The answer is C. Compressing the air reduces the volume and increases the pressure. Compressing the air causes the molecules to collide with one another, and with the walls of the container, at a higher frequency. This is becaue the number of molecules are still the same but now forced in a smaller volume of space. This why the pressure increases wiht reduced volume, while keeping the temperatures constant.

What is the limiting reagent when 49.84 g of nitrogen react with 10.7 g of hydrogen to make ammonia
IgorLugansk [536]
If we were to make room for errors, there should really be no limiting reagent because practically all of both Nitrogen and Hydrogen is used up during this reaction. If this values were actually exact, then Nitrogen would be the limiting reagent, but a very very little amount of Nitogen is needed for all the Hydrogen to react.

We solve this problem by first writing the equation
N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
N2 = 14g*2 = 28g, 3H2 = 3(1*2) = 6g
so 28g of Nitrogen needs 6g of Hydrogen for this reaction. Thus if we had 10.67g of Hydrogen in the reaction, 6g*49.84g/28g of hydrogen is needed to react = 10.68g of Hydrogen, but since we have 10.7g of it thus it is excess and thus the limiting reagent has to be Nitrogen, but notice that 10.68g and 10.7g are practically the same, so there might actually not be a limiting reagent. Using the other value(10.7), the amount of Nitrogen required would be 10.7g*28g/6g = 49.93, and since this is slightly more than the 49.84g we have, this confirms that Nitrogen is the limiting reagent. But note still that since this values are really close, there is a possibility that there is neither a limiting nor an excess reagent
