Answer:

1. 0.0637 moles of nitrogen.

2. The partial pressure of oxygen is 0.21 atm.  

Explanation:

1. If we assume ideal behaviour, we can use the Law of ideal gases to find the moles of nitrogen, considering that air composition is mainly nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%) and argon (1%):  

V_{N_2}=V_{T}\times 0.78=2L \times 0.78 =1.56 L\\PV=nRT\\n_{N_2}=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1 atm\times 1.56 L}{0.0821\frac{atmL}{molK}\times 298 K}\\n_{N_2}= 0.0637 mol

2. Now, in order to find he partial pressure of oxygen we need to find the total moles of air, and then the moles of oxygen. Then, we use these results to determine the molar fraction of oxygen, to multiply it with total pressure and get the partial pressure of oxygen as follows:

n_{total}=\frac{1 atm \times 2L}{0.0821 \frac{atmL}{molK}298K}=0.0817 mol

V_{O_2}=2L \times 0.21 = 0.42 L\\n_{O_2}=\frac {1atm \times 0.42 L}{0.0821 \frac{atm L}{mol K}298 K}=0.0172 mol\\X_{O_2}=\frac{n_{O_2}}{n_{total}}=\frac{0.0172 mol}{0.0817 mol}= 0.21

P_{O_2}=X_{O_2} \times P = 1 atm \times 0.21 = 0.21 atm

As you see, the molar fraction and volume fraction are the same because of the assumption of ideal behaviour.

Given the balanced equation, calculate the mass of product that can be prepared from 2.36 g of zinc metal.
Nataly_w [17]
Moles of Zn present= 2.36/65.4= 0.0361 moles
Therefore maximum moles of ZnO= 0.0722
Mass of one mole of ZnO= 81.4
Mass of ZnO produced= 0.0722 x 81.4= 5.87g

Is it true that an atom has 3 subatomic particles with a negative nucleus and the neutrons outside the the nucleus
Nostrana [21]

Answer: atoms do have 3 subatomic particles but the nucleus is positive and the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Its positive because neutrons have no charge and protons have a positive charge. There are only electrons on the shells so no neutrons or protons on the shells
